Why do some people never age?

They found that genes have a lot to do with looking young. There are thousands of genes in everyone's DNA that focus on cell energy, skin formation, and antioxidant production, but "ageless" people express them differently, and often for longer while others peter out as they age.

You know that frustratingly gorgeous friend of yours? The one who puts on some Chapstick and walks out the door, no problem, and still gets carded at way past 21? Scientists have finally figured out what her deal is. And no, it's not (just) plastic surgery. Researchers at Harvard Medical School paired with DNA analysis company 23andMe to figure out why some people seem to never age. They studied genetic data from 350 women from a variety of ages and ethnic groups. They then isolated people they deemed "exceptional skin agers:" people who were perceived to look younger than they actually were, but didn't have cosmetic surgery. Though they plan on studying more ethnicities, their first study focused on Caucasian and African-American women. They found that genes have a lot to do with looking young. There are thousands of genes in everyone's DNA that focus on cell energy, skin formation, and antioxidant production, but "ageless" people express them differently, and often for longer while others peter out as they age. And that expression differs by race; the study found that women of African descent had skin that aged 10 years slower than Caucasian women.

The study was sponsored by , and it's the longest-ever study the beauty brand has conducted. They plan to use this research to develop new anti-aging products that help "activate" these genes for those without the genetic prize. The findings will be presented at the annual World Congress of Dermatology in Vancouver.
