She looks twice her age.
How to express the opposite of the sentence above, i.e. the fact that she has youthful appearance. Is it "She looks twice less her age"?

10The opposite is clearly "her age looks twice her!"– ErikEOct 8, 2015 at 1:52

Anything relating to age can backfire. By noticing this 'fact' you are also saying that they are not young. Instead a compliment to their energy/aura/presences/personality is more likely to convey the message while respecting the life lived.– user28908Jan 14, 2016 at 20:50

I refuse to upvote anything here, since as @bye says the answrer should be perfectly obvious. An interesting thing would be to know of similar expressions in other languages - that differ in some way from the English.– WS2Aug 14 at 8:35

She looks half her age.
Examples:

She may be 46 but Jennifer Lopez looks half her age in her latest jewellery campaign. (Daily Mail)
