More people using sunscreen and lotion on the regular prevents skin damage. More people are eating healthy, working less physically demanding jobs. Also there’s a pretty huge bias with seeing pictures of older people and seeing them as older than they actually look. It has to do with seeing older styles of clothing and how people tend to keep their core styles longer. This makes people in the present see past photos as “older people” regardless of how young the faces look.
Also the microplastics are preserving us from the inside out. We’re all deli-wrapped now.
People also smoke way less now. See the skin of someone at 30 who started smoking at 15, to see someone who looks like 40.
And everything around us smokes less too.
In 1950 cars had basically no emission standards, factories didn’t either, and a LOT of people heated their homes with coal or wood.
Specifically, top panel man is smoking, bottom panel isn’t. That’s why they look like that. Mystery solved.
It’s very much the smoking. That V Sauce video about it being clothing wasn’t convincing. Comparing just faces negates that possible perception issue. And when constrained to only faces people in the past still look older.
Each cell wrapped for our protection.
Also smoking was banned indoors
Can’t destroy my body and skin if I don’t go outside.
Smoking.
And alcohol.
And lead exposure.
And my axe.
Is my buddy, I bring him when I walk
For me it was the hormone therapy
It is because when you look back to old pictures of people from when they were younger, the people in it have clothing styles and hairstyles that we today associate with older people.
Look up a video on YouTube from VSauce called “Did people used to look older?”. They explain this phenomena well.
Hey Michael
Where are your fingers?
That argument isn’t convincing. Crop photos to compare people to negate the clothing perception. People in the past still look older after doing so.
I had that same beard, hairline, and sunglasses when I turned 30 in 2011
I still do now at 42 honestly, but my facial hair is just less pointy lol

Sunglasses skyrocketed in price while shavers are cheaper than ever before. That’s why inflation is a bullshit concept. Price rises in some areas and goes down in others independently
Sunglasses are stupid expensive because the Italian company Luxottica owns just about every major brand as well as the stores they’re sold in, and jacks the prices through the roof because they e essentially bought up all the competition. Name brand sunglasses are a fucking scam.
Wokeness? /s (in case)
