The Changing Face of Aging: Why People Look Different Now

👥 Millennials seem to be aging slower than previous generations.

🌞 The use of sunscreen and knowledge about skincare contribute to youthful appearance.

🌙 Age has become less significant, and people identify with the energy they feel.

🌞 The previous generation aged more quickly due to the sun tanning obsession of the 60s and 70s, despite the early findings on the harmful effects of the sun.

💥 Skincare has advanced significantly in the last 20 years, allowing us to better care for our outer appearance and slow down the aging process.

🧴 Panthenol soothes the skin while Vitamin E, along with sunscreen, fights free radical damage and provides antioxidant properties.

🌞 Sun damage can lead to breakdown of collagen and elastin, causing textured skin, fine lines, and dark spots.

📺 Millennials had more education on harmful habits like smoking and sunbathing at an early age.

💨 Only 13.3% of people over the age of 18 smoke in the UK, reflecting a shift towards prioritizing health.

😫 Stress can contribute to skin issues like fine lines, dark circles, eczema, and acne.

👶👵 Millennials often either appear older or younger than their actual age.

💜 People in newer generations are looking like adults and experiencing stress at a young age.

😅 Growing up with the Internet has led to a common joke among millennials that they are constantly stressed.

🏠 Millennials face challenges in affording traditional milestones like buying a house and retiring.

🔍 The popularity of Botox and fillers has increased among millennials, making it less obvious when someone has had work done.

💁‍♀️ Unlike previous decades, there is no definitive fashion style that distinctively represents the 2000s and 2010s.

📅 The appearance of fashion styles have become blurred since the mid-90s, with current trends often resembling those from a decade ago.

💡 Our appearance has remained relatively unchanged for a long time, leading to difficulty in dating pictures or determining someone's age.

🔑 The hair theory suggests that styling your hair can significantly impact how young or old you appear.

🌟 With access to online resources, people have become more knowledgeable about fashion, makeup, and hairstyling.

💄 Millennials have a variety of makeup styles, making it difficult to identify a definitive look associated with their generation.
