Forgive me for not having quotes to back this up right now, but in reading the Sil. I remember thinking that an elf's state of mind sometimes had something to do with how old they looked. Captives released from Angband, etc. Also those who had seen the light of Valinor seemed to be described differently as if being exposed to that environment raised their state of mind and somehow altered their appearance.
