So seeing that there's always someone with an answer, I'd like to see if anyone is able to rationalize this: how did Michael or Christina (that was her name right? the First Lady) manage to go unnoticed to their children and spouses? I'm sure I'd notice if my wife didn't age in a decade. Hell, I see pictures of me 5 years ago and I want to cry.
Suspension of disbelief is an accepted answer.

10 years wouldn't really be that big of a difference for most people. At 45, I don't look much different than I did at 35... or even 30. I have more grey, but that could be hidden, if I wanted to.
Beyond that, you'd run into problems, forcing you to move around.
I look the same, but I have very young facial features and stuff. So who knows, it's a TV show that wasn't really meant to be taking seriously.
so say we all
But you are a zombie and you age differently than the aliens of a tv show or the humans of planet earth.
shareemulatorb: Yeah I got that terrible skin pealing away too, doc said there was nothing he could do. I was like darn. My eyes are always poping out of my skull too. :)

I thought the aliens aging so slowly was a brilliant idea. It emphasized in a subtle way that while the aliens looked human, they really weren't. Also, think about all the money the producers saved on makeup costs!

Technically they weren't aliens, they were from Earth in the first place.
shareYou're right. I know that there were hints of about this mentioned, but I think that they may have been too subtle for some who weren't paying attention.
