Good skin care, staying hydrated, sunscreen and not smoking really goes far. Lots of middle aged folks now are suffering from the effects of tanning beds and cigarettes. The better you treat yourself and your body, the better tweaks will look as well! Nice video Laura!
I think people in the early 20th century might have looked a lot older partially due to hair style & make up. You’d be surprised how much that can age a person. Some of the hairstyles of the 1930’s-60’s especially have a very mature look. Of course nowadays, there’s also cosmetic procedures, better skincare products, people use sunscreen more regularly. You’d be surprised how much sunscreen makes a difference
Without filters, fillers, dental work, botox, retinol, hair dye etc, we'd all pretty much look like we did in the 80s. I'm content looking my age and having no cares about keeping up with the Kardashians.
Nope. I don't donbotox and so don't many people around me, or fillers or whatever. Black and white photos were basically filtered photos, black and white is very flattering. People are indeed living longer, they exercise more, they also "act younger"
Everybody and I mean EVERYBODY online says Kylie Jenner looks like she's in her 40s. They say that about other influencers like her, too. They've done too many procedures to their face and wear too much makeup. I think it's funny you have her picture in your collage of people who supposedly look younger than past generations. Grace Kelly in her 30s and 40s looked younger than Kylie from age 20 to now.
Yh I thought the same. Made me confused before watching the video. Perhaps an image of Jlo, Thuso Mbedu and Selena Gomez would make more immediate sense.
30 is still young in skin years. Wait till you hit 39. That's when I started to notice a slight difference in my skin, especially around my neck and under the chin. But it's good that you started a skincare routine early. The earlier the better. Diet makes a huge difference too.
Thank you Laura for bringing this up. My mom and I have talked about this not long ago. My grandmother is 93 and we care for her full time. We've gone through photos with her a lot, looked at photos from our town, yearbooks, church photos, etc. You can see how a 35 year old in 1950s look much more mature than one in 2023 for example. My stepdad went to HS in the 60s. A teenager then at 17 (looking at his yearbooks) looks much more mature than one today. I'm 44 and aging can be hard looking in the mirror. It reminds us of our own mortality. Perhaps it's a Western cultural phenomena but aging seems to be a dreaded horrid thing here. If you look at other cultures, being older meant a belief that one has gained more wisdom. The elderly are cherished. Social media made our problems worse in many ways in my opinion. Instagram, TikTok and such find people taking constant video or photos of themselves. They see progression and every flaw. Instead of just trying to be the best version of themselves and how they really are, they obsess over everything and end up wanting to look like someone else. People look like carbon copies. How boring is that? Do I have flaws? Sure. I'd like to change a few small things but overall, and it's partially due to my faith, I don't focus on the "value" the world assigns to me. I'm loved by those who are important to me as I am and that's enough.
I think another consideration is the advancement in research for hormones and the affects of menopause, etc. Our grandmothers had to suffer in silence but now we have options from herbal to HRT.
That depression aged woman looks older than me, and I'm 57. Also, if you're a different ethnicity, you tend to age slower. However, if you dont exercise and eat properly, it will show through. I use grapefruit oil and geranium oil on my skin, which increases collagen production. I drink liquid collagen as well and take bkack tumeric with piperine.
I can remember growing it was a common saying look at your girlfriends mother and that will tell you what your wife will look like at middle age. I'm 44 and look nothing like my mother at the same age. On her birthday she even commented that I still look youngish.
I have heard that being in 40’s is the new 30’s and so on. Also my mum said back in the days many men died at age 50 if they had some bad habits to damage their health
We live in a time where we get to focus on ourselves more. Exercise is an absolute must in staying young, eating well and in the right proportions of foods that agree with our individual bodies, Bio identical hormones, calming and stress relieving meditations and spiritual practices. Expressing how we feel in heathy ways. All this adds to our being younger in mind and body.
I'll be 57 in May and I maintain a somewhat youthful look by following a daily skincare routine as I have since the age of 20. I also take good care of my teeth. I do think that Madonna went a bit too far with the injections. She should have just opted for a more subtle tweak here and there and she would have looked beautiful. As far as holograms go, I think that it's a terrible idea and very ungodly. Just my 2 cents.
Thank you Laura for bringing up this subject. I agree that social media has risen the age were women and men are getting cosmetic surgeries. It does seem like there is a neurotic beauty contest going on in the internet!
I am very pale and grew up in the Caribbean. I was always told that I was doomed to age early and badly. In my early twenties, I started to use SPF on all exposed areas of my face and body religiously. Back then, it was SPF 25. When I turned 30, I started using SPF 30. When I turned 50, I started using SPF 50. Last year, at 54, I started using tretinoin at night. Add to that good dental care, good medical care, and pretty good nutrition (I am not giving up caffeine and chocolate, LOL), and I may not look like a movie star, but I don't have any major wrinkles, and there are very few fine lines. Also, and this is clearly just the luck of good genes, my hair has not greyed.
Hmmm… I’m not doing anything major, mostly skincare, diet and general wellness and I feel I’m doing well. I doubt I’ll ever go for botox or fillers, it’s just not for me. But I do like skincare, and light therapy as well as microcurrent/frequency. These are great tools.
I think there’s some clear differences like the sun. In our grandparents (and even some parents) days it was common to spend a lot of time in the sun; working and for leisure. A tan was healthy. So sun damage definitely aged them. We also get a lot more nutrients and stay more hydrated now. Also there’s less smoking and daily drinking.
It's definitely a combination of better skincare, nutrition, lifestyle and of course medical advancements we have at our disposal that previous generations didn't. Genetics definitely plays a part too. With all these combined you can look very youthful for a very long time.
Fashion and photography are the main factors for me: 1. People are used to being photographed regularly, so they know how to put on their best face. that depression woman in the beginning for example was a snapshot. 2. Prople used to strive to be part of the adult word and act all formal and serious. Now it's the other way around.
There was an unwritten rule that women of a certain age, probably 30, had to cut off their hair. You rarely saw a mother in the 1940's - 1970s with hair longer than a pageboy.
People with money can afford to age better, and people in general today take better care of their health like less smoking, drinking and skincare etc. the picture in your thumbnail is woman from the Great Depression, poverty and all that comes with it certainly ages you. The woman also had a whole bunch of kids which ages you too. Woman today have less kids and have them later which preserves you a bit better.
I remember my Grandma in the telling me I'm the seventies, that there seemed to be a lot more pretty girls than there used to be. She lived through the Depression and several wars. Those people had seen a lot of stress.
I think its because people long ago used to be out in the sun more and did farm work or tended cattle. Technology has changed that and ppl spend more time indoors now working inside jobs,
I’m 51 and I look much younger and I’ve never had Botox or anything. I’ve worn sunscreen and stayed out of the sun since I was 18. I’ve never drank or smoked.
People being thinner on average back then and not gaining as much, if any, weight as they age might've contributed to their faces not looking as young on average compared to nowadays. Facial fat filler or other kinds of injectables look fake and give people "pillow face" compared to just having a naturally fuller face because one is heavier all over. When you compare that to women back in the day who were thinner and weren't able to inject their face with anything, then that would make a difference.
I think one big thing is that young people *always* think everyone older than them always looked like grandparents. They associate the styles of previous generations with being 'old'. Plus, it's fallen far out of favor for people to assume the role of an adult once they've reached 18-21, and people now are less likely to dress or act the part, so of course someone who was your age in the 50s looks 'old' to you in comparison. There's nothing really wrong with it, it's just kinda how things turned out.
I'm 47 and it troubles me so, to see women my age excessively pursue surgeries and procedures only to end up with the "look". They all have a very similar look from having the same procedures. I do believe society is extremely hard on celebs for aging and with that it trickles down to us.....I look at these celebs and the headlines read "Look how horribly these celebs aged!" and I'm thinking, they have just aged, its not horrible...its natural!!
The filters are so problematic, imo. I was looking for a snapchat filter that would make my skin look clearer during a bad acne outbreak. That was all I wanted it to do. But it seemed like every last one changed my face somehow. Bigger eyes, fuller lips, snatched cheekbones, etc, etc. I'm 38, so I grew up seeing my own, unedited face in the mirror or in pictures. I can't imagine the pressure on young people growing up and having instant access to that "perfect" face, but then feeling what you see in the mirror will never match up. No wonder teenagers and women in their early 20s are getting plastic surgery or tweaks in record numbers. It just makes me sad that so many beautiful young women are permanently altering their faces to try to chase an artificial reality.
I hated how my face looked like an immobile mask as a teen well to my 20s I am much happier with my mobile expressive face now in my 50s. I feel like people see me when then they look at my face
Yes. Madonna, Cher, Celine Dion, Cindy Crawford, Tom Cruise, Jennifer Lopez Jennifer Aniston….. the list is endless. And they all swear its good genes 😅 This is why i don’t acknowledge nor respect any famous person, they’re all satan’s little servants
Yes, they do! Especially if they are famous and have a lot of money to get surgeries and hire teams of people to help them with diet, nutrition, etc. The rest of us don't have that luxury. Sunscreen and Vitamin C are a part of my daily skincare routine and are easier and more accessible forms of anti-aging as well as the most critical factor is that Sunscreen is the most crucial ant-skin cancer drug ever!
@@rebeccassweetmusic4632 I don't like what Hollywood is doing to their faces lately. They are all starting to look the same. The surgeries have gone too far.
I agree with the OP. Women don’t look younger, just…kind of scary. Like aliens. Look back at the Golden Era stars and how unique they all are. Beautiful. Lively. Young. In the video she mentions 1988 compared to now. 1988 when George Michael was at his peak. I’ll take that every time.

I think that we take better care of ourselves. I turned 30 last month and it's been great. I look young and take great care of my skin

I think another consideration is the advancement in research for hormones and the affects of menopause, etc. Our grandmothers had to suffer in silence but now we have options from herbal to HRT.
That’s true
@@Laurajaneatelier another amazing video ty for all you create for us to enjoy
HRT can be dangerous though. I don’t know if herbal remedies make one look younger after menopause. I’ve never heard that.
Actually I never see people in real life that look as good as they do on social media. It’s filtering, and makeup techniques.
That depression aged woman looks older than me, and I'm 57. Also, if you're a different ethnicity, you tend to age slower. However, if you dont exercise and eat properly, it will show through.

I've been binging your channel this past week. You do a very good job delivering history to the masses. Thanks for your hard work! ❤️
Thanks so much
skincare is so much better today and we stay out of the sun more often now..
I quite agree about people of a certain age are begining to all look alike.

Yes, Madonna has always stirred up controversy about her appearance and music since the 1980s! I will be the same age as you in June!
So informative and helpful. Thank you Laura for your excellent and consistent hard work. ❤️❤️❤️

Maybe this is just me but in my opinion Kylie looks so much older than her age. She honestly look like she’s 30.
I LOVE your channel 😍❤️

Plastic surgery
Because plastic surgery is available
