An Australian woman recently asked people to guess her age and was stunned when most responses were between 50 and 60

Emily Jane told FEMAIL everyone is 'so used to seeing faces with filters, photoshop, and cosmetic procedures that they've lost touch with reality'.

Emily, from Sydney, has just turned 36. She was 'shocked' at all the 'wild' responses her video received from both young and old viewers.

'I'm 57 and I think you're my age, maybe a few years younger,' a woman guessed under Emily's TikTok.

'You're in your mid-40s,' another declared. 'It's your grey hair, skin, the fine lines around your eyes, and frown lines.'

Emily said they she stopped dyeing her hair in lockdown.

'I embraced my grey. Women want to feel comfortable being themselves. We're all tired of trying to be 25 all the time,' Emily said.

'I know most people my age won't show their grey hair, but this is the truth.'

Emily started going grey when she was 19 years old and a lot of people think it's a marker of old age or being over 50.

'I've never got Botox, I'm not wearing any makeup, I've never had any work done,' she said in the video.

She also pointed out that she has bags under her eyes because she has an infant son who keeps her awake at night. 

Yet, the comments still flooded in even after Emily revealed her age.

'You look great for a 55-year-old,' one said. 

'I'd say you were 37 to be nice, but in reality you look like you're 44. It's the skin under your eyes and your hair,' another wrote. 

'36 going on 60. It probably is the hair that ages you but you are still very gorgeous,' a man wrote. 

A 15-year-old thought she was 42, while another 60-year-old said Emily looked the same age as her.

A handful of people in their mid-30s and late-20s correctly guessed that Emily was 36.

In a follow up video, Emily shared her shock and horror at the range of comments.

'Someone is 35 and they think I'm 58. Do I genuinely look that old? Like I'm near retirement age?' she asked.

'I think it is essential to remember that what you see on social media and what you see on television or what you've seen in magazines, and people have said this for years, it is not real.' 

The mum has launched a sleepwear brand to combat the endless anti-ageing campaigns on social media.

'I founded Dawn & Dusk Co. because to me, PJs are the ultimate gateway to comfort. When a woman feels comfortable, everything else falls into place.

'She can do amazing things when she's not paralysed by the need to be accepted. I'm on a mission to empower women to embrace their natural beauty and feel confident in who they are, at any age.'
