I see lots of people with very sagging, splotchy skin who are over sixty but others look fifty. Why is that?

Genetics, mostly. Some aging is due to weathering.
Weight and weight fluctuation. Physical activity levels. Smoking or not. Drinking or not. And a bit of caring for skin when outside, although getting enough Vitamin D from the sun helps keep one young.
And of course any major illness can make you look older too.
Sun damage and genetics. I think sun worshipers have it the worst.
Poor nutrition as well, and lack of exercise.
It’s the younger ones I feel sorry for, those who resemble a bulldog licking piss off a thistle.
Bless, for them sorry buggers genetics is a four letter word.
I’d normally say genetics but in these times I’d rank weight fluctuations, sun exposure and drinking/smoking show wear and tear.
