As the saying goes "Matre pulchra filia pulchrior." Now, if we've lost you there, it's in Latin, and it translates to "A daughter more beautiful than her beautiful mother." And it's precisely what this post is about.
Few things age a person quite like parenting, The late nights, early mornings, broken sleep, and daily worries of having a child all conspire to turn your dark hair white, your smooth skin wrinkled, and no beauty secrets can help any more.
But as you can see from this incredible list compiled by Bored Panda, some moms take the phrase 'aging gracefully' to a whole another level no matter how many kids they have. Sometimes it's even difficult to tell the difference between a beautiful mom and her even more beautiful daughter, despite her being double the age or more. Whether it's some kind of sorcery or a set of very good genes that determine their beauty, we don't really know, but they have definitely mastered the formula of how to look younger.
Now, we would really love to share their beauty tips on how to stay this beautiful and younger looking, but sadly these things work differently for everybody. But for inspiration to take better care of yourself and look younger, check out the collection of pictures below to see what we mean!

Ready for the 'Father Son' version
I Don't like this article... it is superficial and incentivates ave discrimination... honestly, most people in the pics look narcissistic as hell
Couldn't agree more. Not to mention the possible "unhealthiness" of some of these parent/child relationships.
Gabriel Soma lol
Young people trying to look older, and older people trying to look younger... eventually they meet in the middle!
I could guess pretty much all of them, but some were very cool.
I find them all lovely. Why so many rude comments? Nothing negative about this article, why be negative?
Staci Snovel easy
I can tell the mums by the wisdom in their eyes.
Yeah a lot of these are women who had babies when they were really young, like if you are 16 that's means your child will be 18 when you are only 34 so it's not that uncommon to look like your child's sibling.
Lots of make-up and surgeries, but some of em are kinda cool.
It also helps to be beautiful.
Vera Brezhneva is Ukrainian singer, not russian
Julia Pidtilok haha
That is why are against child marriage
How could you create a cloning machine without telling us? Shame on you for keeping it secret!
Some of these are amazing, but I must admit they make me glad I only have a son. I've heard when you have a daughter you are giving birth to your replacement, and having a constant reminder of what you used to look like 20y ago walking around must be hell on the ego!
Ok.
wow you can always guess the ugly duckling, they just can't seem to be nice to the natural beauty, I am 44 and still now I get, omg I thought you were sisters, I have just aged well and that with no makeup
When you do lists like this ask 100 guys, if the team doesn’t pull an 8 then they don’t make the list nearly all these women don’t clear that list including actresses kids.

Me n my oldest look alike too!!!! She's 10 and I'm 30.
Dustona Berestoff love
They all look amazing. : )
Pls, #40 - Vera Brezhneva is a UKRAINIAN singer and actress! Pay attention to facts. She was born, became famous and still leaves in Kyiv (Ukrainian capital) with her family.
Мария Римашевская -
Even if some of the mom's did look older than their daughters their similarities were amazing. Obviously, they mostly all took after their mothers genetically, and the mothers all looked great. Stop being so snarky
Im in my 40's my Daughter is 24 and everyone thinks i am in my late 20's.
Deborah Reed no
My oldest, Cynthia (22) and I (45) look so much alike you couldn't tell we did a face swap.
Tina White love
...and also when teens want to look older and regret when they're in their late 20s...

Apart from the black women, who are naturally resilient to the sun, I can't tell about the others because all it is is make-up. I can't see what they really look like.
