Smoking and sunshine: Too much sunshine, over the years, will make a person look much older much faster. Smoking also makes skin look older and damaged.

Progeria: Progeria is an extremely rare genetic disorder wherein symptoms resembling aspects of aging are manifested at a very early age, but this as stated is very rare and would be seen before the age of 20. Things like smoking, illegal drug use, alcohol abuse, excessive sun exposure or excessive tanning, can also cause a person to age prematurely and get winkles earlier than usual, etc. Stay healthy!
