Years don’t leave wrinkles on her face.

[Silverobama]

I met a woman who told me she’s 50 the other day. She looks like she’s only 30 though. I wrote “Years don’t leave wringkles on her face” to express the idea. However, I don’t think my sentence is natural. Could you please help me with a natural version?

She doesn't look her age.
She looks younger than her age.
She maintains her complexion very well for her age.
Her youthful appearance/complexion belies her age.

The other day, I met a woman who told me she’s 50. the other day. She looks like she’s only 30 though. I wrote “The years don’t leave haven't left wringkles wrinkles on her face” to express the idea. However, I don’t think my sentence is natural. Could you please help me with a natural version?

I've made it grammatically correct. The most common way of saying it in BrE would be "She doesn't look her age".

 

[emsr2d2]

She maintains her complexion very well for her age.

This isn't natural at all.

 

[tedmc]

This isn't natural at all.

What about this?

She has maintained her complexion very well for her age.

I don't think "years" can leave wrinkles on people's face unless you mean it as a personification.

Try "bloom of youth".

@mrmvp, that suggestion is not much use to anybody unless you put it into a complete sentence.

Please note that I've added 'Not a teacher' to your reply. Please add that to your signature line.

1-She never peaks/ ages her bloom keeps rising.

2-She is in the bloom of youth, and her wrinkles add nothing but beauty.

2-She is in the bloom of youth, and her wrinkles add nothing but beauty.

They don't sound right to me.

 

[emsr2d2]

1. She never peaks/ages and her bloom keeps rising.

"Peaks" doesn't work there and "her bloom keeps rising" means nothing. I've simply corrected the spacing around the slash mark and added the missing word. However, the resulting sentence, although grammatically correct, is meaningless.

2. She is in the bloom of youth, and her wrinkles add nothing but beauty.

Again, it's a grammatically correct sentence but it's not something a native speaker would say.

While it's grammatical, the original comment was that the lack of wrinkles despite her age makes her appear youthful. Your comment states that she does indeed have wrinkles, but they actually enhance her appearance.

Those are two almost opposite situations.

I have edited the thread title to correct the spelling of wrinkles. It used to say wringkles.

Yes, I aimed to describe how wrinkles add beauty to her appearance and are in no way a sign of aging. Similarly, the more a classic car is stored, the more value it gains each year

Of course wrinkles come with and are a sign of aging, but whether they enhance a person's appearance is subjective.
