If I'm picturing what you're picturing, lack of body fat? Wrinkles and other blemishes could be from sun exposure.
When I lived in Boulder, I used to see a lot of middle-aged women who trained a lot. Most of them did not look that great with ZERO body fat (sunken cheeks, wiry neck muscles, etc.)

Anyway, I noticed it myself, I think that you're maybe using the wrong words when you could be using 'gaunt' . I call it Lance face since he looks very low-fat in the face and lots of female triathletes have the same appearance. Personally I like me some athletic women, but nobody asked so

Poor diets high in cooked food and the fact that these guys constantly push themselves to the limit. I also personally believe it has something to do with sunscreen, that stuff messes with your skin in a bad way

Vain, But Lacking Talent
I think it's just "hard living." I see it a lot with motorcycle racers as well. Serious competitors that are bent on winning and nothing else tend to stress a lot over training, racing, etc. The ones who have a lot of natural talent and are generally very happy, laid back people don't seem to have this problem.
For cyclists, I'd say UV rays have a good bit more to do with it, but I still think you will see it more on the face of a racer who stresses over winning than those who compete and really enjoy it, winning or losing.

Low body fat. I went into a high end bike/tri store yesterday. The employees work there so they also can train and are serious competitors. The women are hot. Swimming keeps a higher body fat than running or cycling

Cooking food creates A.G.E. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance...ion_endproduct) its essentially what causes you to age. Sunscreen is a petroleum oil by product which is poison, maybe you want to "block the sun" with your poison but i chose to embrace it. Whats the other option? You might actually get some vitamin D and a nice sun tan?

Why don't you tell that to my skin cancer? Then tell it to the 2nd and 3rd degree burns I get if I spend more than 1 hour outdoors in the sun.
That is the most dumb fack thing I've heard all year.

The link you posted is hosted by a company selling their own magical skin cream. Are you dense?
