  • How a face ages
    Susan Sarandon's skin still looks as smooth today as it did in 1977. Where you can see the effect of aging is around the 65-year-old star's eyes, which appear more deeply set than before.

Of course, even with her radiant complexion and impressive cheekbones, the 62-year-old actress isn't entirely immune to aging.

    A cute-as-a-button baby face like 65-year-old Sally Field's will serve a woman well in her later years. While a too-thin face can look gaunt as it ages, a fuller one remains youthful. Even the former Flying Nun's softly rounded cheeks still look pinch-worthy.

    At 68, French actress Catherine Deneuve still has a sultry appeal, but years of smoking have taken their toll on her skin. In addition to causing wrinkles around the mouth and eyes, the chemicals in nicotine break down collagen and elastin, the fibers that keep healthy skin taut.

    Strong features and major sex appeal make Sophia Loren, 77, as captivating as she was in 1958. One feature that has lost some of its definition is the star's famously regal nose. Experts have found that as we age the nose begins to droop, because the connective tissues supporting it weaken.
