Easy Ways To Tell The Real Age Of A Person

It’s quite difficult to tell the real age of an individual or a stranger if you aren’t an expert. However, the following features of the human body can give you the perfect guess of the age of a person.

They include;

1. Human’s hair

This is most likely one of the most frequent and straightforward to identify. Simply by examining a person’s hair from various angles, it is simple to determine how old or young they are.

2. The human Face

The facial differences between a child’s face and an adult’s face are highly obvious. It is clear that you appear more cute the younger you are. The appearance of facial wrinkles is an indication of advancing age, and they can appear at any time.

3. The Hands

Because the human hand is one of the body parts that is exposed the most compared to other body parts, it is fairly simple to determine a person’s age just by glancing at their hands. Elderly hands frequently have wrinkles, which is how you can tell a young person from an old person.

4. The human eyelids

You’ll notice a noticeable difference between an older person’s eyelids and those of a young person when you compare the two. The eyelids of an aging person start to sag as they age. Young folks are an exception to this; their eyelids seem to be in tact.

5. The Neck

One of the body parts that can reveal a person’s age or youth is the neck. Young people’s necks are always straight. Most people refer to a person’s neck as having a turkey-like appearance as they age.

6. The Elbow

Did you know that the elbow can help you know whether or not a person is young? The elbows of old people appear to be dry and also kind of folded. That is different when a person is young.
