  I look much older than my age.
  What are the factors which make people look older?
  
  besides hairline?
  Will Skin Quality affect how old someone looks?

  Choice of food also reduces aging , "Anti-oxidant" food. Are very good for longevity.

  Besides the things mentioned, your hairstyle, attire, dry skin, late sleeping, no maintaining of your face, and personally... how you feel on the inside. If you feel old, no matter how young you can look, people can see you are old.
  
  So to start off, get a younger looking hairstyle that SUITS YOU. Then get some new clothings that makes you look more vibrant and young (I am sure you have friends who are fashion experts), buy those skin care, moisturisers and use it daily, change your sleeping habit to 10pm or so and start mingling more with young people. I do NOT say you have to abandon your friends, I meant go out more with those "young" ones, observe them, see why they can be so energetic and vibrant.
  
  Slowly but surely, you will start to see yourself feeling younger and being confident that you are young. Its quite an expensive make over, but if you want to be young, you should try all possible ways.

  i think the most impt contributor to the age factor in terms of outer appearance is your skin quality.. like for me, slapping on various face creams and stuff was only minimally effective. My skin aged fast and the colour sucked even tho my lifestyle was fairly healthy and never got overexposed to the sun.
  
  Anyway, I found the answer with collagen. I consumed a liquid collagen supplement - was cynical at 1st - but then my skin totally changed within 3 days.. with results no other external beauty product ever gave me. It wasn't just my eyes playing tricks, cuz everyone was commenting about it. Felt like a walking SKII-esque commercial. I guess my skin must've really been starved of collagen. -.-" My guess is that this method would onli work miracles if you're collagen deprived in the 1st place though, lol

  - Being stressed for many years.
  - Things that u eat.
  - Are you heavy smoker?
  - Clean shaven?
  
  the way you dressed up, how u talk, how you behave also affect how old do you look like.
  Like someone who is always stern, sure look older than someone who always put on a smile.
  
  i keep my hair long most of the time, once i cut my hair short and go the the mama shop that i always go to buy cigarrette, the indian lady ask for my IC(I was 23 and she thought i was under 18 bcos of the haircut). Before i had that hair cut, she never ask for it.

  losing a loved one will also make someone looks old or haggard.

  This is a form of proving that they are old enough not to quit pressing the shift or capslock.
