Neal, August, Ursula, Cruella, and Ingrid all have retained essentially the same age for a long time and is unexplained. I also wonder about John and Michael darling in season 3, as Pan kept them alive but they still aged to their 30s or so and didn't elaborate on why this is so. Actually, Neal did NOT maintain the same age for a long time in the LWM. He came the first time in the 1850's, but at a teenager. He then, after about 6 months, was taken to Neverland, where he spent many years. He returned to the LWM after the DC was cast, but was still the same teenage that had left all those years previously. He finally grew from teenage to adult, and his apparent  age is really not that far off of where it should be, taking his time in Neverland into account.

August was a child when he first appeared in the LWM, probably around 7-8. so his age is really not off at all, he appears to be in his mid-thirties, and add 30 years to 7-8, that would put him in Mid to Late 30's.

It's really only the 3 women that appear to not have aged. So, that's it! Women defy aging? I wonder how? Probably the same way the regular women do it. You know, Cosmetics, Botox, Plastic Surgery, Hair Dye, exercise, diet. ;-) Also, since Ingrid, Cruella, and Ursula were already adults by the time they came here, it is reasonable to say that they have been aging, but because it is like 30 to 50, we don't actually see it on the show, as they wouldn't want to recast actors for that. Besides, as you said, with the right makeup and such, a 50 year old woman make look very similar to when she was 30.
