It’s crazy how people are coming up with this conspiracy theory about the other side spreading conspiracy theories that the sun causes cancer.

Less common, but still significant is that we use chemicals in the states that are known carcinogens that our government has made easy for companies to use and pollute with with little to no notification to people that use them and/or live by the polluted sites.

I think you have a very compassionate take on this, but you've also hit the nail on the head of why I personally see people with filler as looking older - I DO indeed associate this with people who are older trying to look younger. I was trying to figure out why I couldn't tell the age of people, so it's actually a relief to put a name to it. I know a lot of makeup can age people, but that wasn't it. Lighting does make a HUGE difference - I put on half my makeup before turning on my lighted mirror, and I see the bags under my eyes, etc and then the light comes on and I look 10 years younger. The solution is always to have an invisible light floating in front of you. :D

[@montananerd8244]

lol my workplace has the best lighting and now I hate wearing makeup anywhere else. I switch on the cold bright light & just want to run away lol! Altho we do tend to skip artificial light in one section, so sometimes I who am very thin look like a ghoul in the corner. That’s kinda fun tho, lol

He's so right though; we say the same thing in health care sadly. I work as a PT in a hospital, and I'll get patients that don't like the recommendations I make; usually when I'm recommending them to go to a skilled nursing facility for more rehab because they're not strong enough to be safe at home, but they're medically ready to discharge from the hospital. They're grown adults, and they're allowed to disregard my recommendation (doesn't hurt my feelings), but I often say they need to go home, and fail, to realize that I didn't make my recommendation arbitrarily, or for some perceived profit (I don't get paid to send people to skilled rehab), and that I really do have their best interest in mind. Some people just need to find out for themselves. I often see them back in the hospital within a couple days, if not within 24 hours. 🤷‍♀

I think it would be interesting to see the women from Love Island's photos without makeup on, or without full glam/heavy makeup for shoots, tv etc. Nothing wrong with that makeup but I do think it makes women in their 20's and 30's look really similar. Of course I also wish people would just leave them alone, and/or think more about the reasons why these kind of shows are so appealing for people to apply for.

[@amriddless]

If you watch the show, the girls faces are shown from right when they wake up before they've gotten ready and done their makeup. I think the heavy amt of botox and filler makes a bigger difference than some ppl realize, there's a way to do it more naturally but I think ppl going on TV think they need more. There's previous islanders that have gone on after the show to talk about dissolving their fillers and things like that.

I see young women getting pushed out of a lot of professional organizations instead of moving up, and often land in jobs that are just commission sales, because they look “cheap & trashy” to boss-age people. It’s not fair but it is what it is. And so many online famous people are not seen by their own community as relevant or important, for the same reasons. I’m sure some of it is cultural, one such young woman got iced out professionally in my town for this, but met a nice PhD in New Zealand and is succeeding so hard in her new home.

[@ViOkabayashi]

I’m a biomedical scientist licensed in cosmetology and aesthetic based in Brazil. PDRN is an increasingly popular active here in Brazil, especially when used during microneedling (which I don’t really recommend doing at home by yourself). People have been getting pretty good results with this combined treatment for skin texture and overall skin tone as well as “anti-aging”. The microneedling itself can help with most of these skin concerns, depending on the depth of the needles by promoting a mild injury on the skin and boosting collagen production. But the microneedling also helps with drug delivery, as it opens tiny channels that allow actives to penetrate the skin

Like yeah let's just ignore the hat that is large enough to sit an entire bird on, the parasol that is adding extra shading from the sun, and the long sleeves and floor length skirts that are covering their skin; clearly none of that is providing any sun protection and it must be the 'insert cliched natural product' that they're hand mixing using *insert cliched natural ingredient BS' picked from the local gardens.

[@Justiniparken]

Hi James, I just want to point out in regards to the sunscreen vid, she does add zinc oxide in the video at 11:13 I certainly don’t recommend making your own spf regardless of if you put zinc in it or not, but it made for a bit of a confusing watch as you talked about it as if she didn’t 😅

[@mariampogosova8295]

Ol' Girl: "I'm feeling sUpEr tIgHt!!!!!!" James: 👀 😂😂😂

[@CarolinaFlorezCoaching]

I haven't finished the video, but one thing popped out at me, so far: James says people will comment when there's too much filler, but also comment saying there's not enough.The thing that content creators forget is that there are different audiences. It likely isn't the same people commenting that there's too little or too much. As someone who loves natural faces, you will never catch me saying someone needs work done. So sure, you will never make everyone happy, don't live your life trying to do that, but if you want to go a more natural route, there WILL be an audience for that. Yes you will be criticized by the other folks, but that's life. On another note, I recently saw a scene from a show where one young woman looked like she had very natural beauty and I really enjoyed seeing her. It was so refreshing. Maybe she wasn't fully natural, but not having blatant work done and having a natural looking face is rare nowadays in media.

[@sanjanat1085]

For the PDRN, I was influenced and bought a PDRN toner and I will say, it really helps when my skin is inflamed from eczema or allergies and I've noticed that I don't scar as much from the hives and eczema flare-ups and my skin doesn't feel weirdly stiff anymore in the places of these flare-ups. I've started using it on my arms too and it's been beyond great. When I don't have flare-ups, I use a derma stamp and then use the toner paired with a cica gel and my skin is thriving! My flare-ups don't last as long and the aftermath of bumps and weird texture/scarring is very shortlived. I of course, use these products in my routine with other steps that target hyperpigmentation like tretinoin but it helps keep the skin calm and nourished so the tretinoin doesn't have its typical side effects like redness, irritation and dryness which would be a disaster for my eczema-prone skin.

I’m 37 and I’m only just now considering MAYBE just MAYBE getting Botox/filler right between my eyebrows because I just started noticing faint 11 lines. And I don’t feel bad because I may end up doing that but it would be my first cosmetic procedure, and I still may not do it. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with wanting to stave off signs of aging, but sometimes trying to walk around looking like an IRL filter is just… ughhhh. You’re not even aging in your 20s (though I know prevention is easier than fixing!) Just use sunscreen or get fake tans. I mean, I know it’s not all just about aging, but they’ve already altered their appearances so much that the upkeep is going to get harder and harder to maintain, and the skin/body can only take so much 😢

[@ParticularlyChar]

I get my 11s done mainly to lose the deep groove I have from frowning when I’m concentrating but I’ve only had it done 4 times over 3 years because I want to regain movement between sessions. I also ask my injector to leave some movement because I don’t want to look frozen (one person did give me a frozen forehead and I hated it). It can definitely be done minimally and I think sometimes people assume the results they get are the same whoever they go to but results can vary massively. Any decent practitioner will do a follow up appointment 1-2 weeks after to assess/ add more if you need it so it’s definitely worth asking them to go very lightly until you know how your body responds. All the best if you do go for it 😊

[@hopejstone]

NAILED IT | 3:56 For me yes, it's connected to generations of the classic "older women attempting to look younger" by adjusting their face. Also, historically, it hasn't felt as common for young people to change so many parts of their face. Changing a lot of your face before aging sets in is interesting.

Not defending DIY sunscreen, but in the video you show she actually adds zinc oxide to her mix (around 11:10). It isn't just the oils for the sun protection.

[@deenice7155]

The problem is that those sunscreen or beauty influencers are most likely NOT wearing their DIY sunscreens, they are just making those videos because it gets lots of engagement. Think of all the 5 minute craft videos where the hack is rubbish. The creators know it and don';t use those actual products. Whether the engagement is positive or negative doesn't matter since they are still getting paid. SO since they are not actually wearing their DIY sunscreen, they will not get burned and then inform the masses that they were wrong all along. It's the followers that will get burned. Unfortunatly fewer followers will make a video that gets the type of viewership that the original DIY video received. Thus the scam keeps going. It's like all of those food hack videos that don't work. The creator is well aware that they don't work or aren't eating their creations but continue to push the lie for engagement. But you are right. Science, scientists, big Pharma and large corporations are now viewed as the enemy. Which is sad because these companies need to go through rounds of R&D and quality controls before shipping. They can be sued for millions which is why many are very careful. But somehow people trust a TikTok video from an unknown who has done almost no research or testing and is not liable for your injuries. CRAZY.

[@mushroomc0re]

Part of the reason that filler makes people look older is because it can create the illusion of a more hollow face. A more exaggerated cheekbone gives the illusion of cheeks with less fat, as you age the buccal fat pad thins and you get thinner cheeks. Add those together and you look older. There's a reason why people with fat faces are said to have baby faces.

[@CB73666]

Sure that’s part of it. But people with naturally high cheekbones and jawlines don’t look old earlier. Hard to really know but I think it’s the unnatural bloated look filler gives that ages them more.

[@TeacupTSauceror]

the editing on those pictures with the creepily smooth skin doesn't help either, but i think the main thing with the lip filler is it really accentuates those two lines leading from the nose to the mouth.

I agree with your theory about filler, I’ve always thought the same thing. We associate cosmetic surgery with older people, trying to look younger. So when we see noticeable cosmetic work, we automatically assume they’re older because of that association!

Ehh. Some people in general just always look older than they are. While for some people it could be fillers related, others its just how they look and sometimes their personality or behaviour influences how others estimate their age. People also suck at estimating ages a lot of the time. Me for example, ive looked mid 30s since i was 14 and was mistaken for mid 20s from 12. Im now 31 and look close to my age at long last, but i still look older than i am. I constantly got mistaken for my friends' mums no matter whether i was 14 and with other 14 year olds or when i was 18 and with my 25 year old friend. Didnt matter who i was around, ive always been mistaken for a lot older. I was also mistaken for a mature student throughout my first year of uni when new lecturers/students met me/talked about backgrounds etc And ill say again, humans suck at guessing ages a lot of the time ha.

[@liviusss]

That's true, genes also play an important role... Some people look older than they are and some younger, I looked 16 until I was 30 and it was really frustrating sometimes. But bad placed filler and a lot of make-up can also make people look older, or weird...

Wrt spf, building the evidence base, communicating facts compellingly and social pressure are really all we have. For better or worse, we can't force parents to put proper spf on their kids and that evidence of harm caused by sun exposure may not show up for decades.

I'm also proud to say that my 9 y/o is an SPF warrior as well. Anytime he asks to go play outside, he notes the time of day, he asks what the UV index is, and he gets the sunscreen! We have bottles of sunscreen sitting by the front door and the back door as a loving reminder as well. As Dr. Idriss loves to say, "Wear the damn sunscreen!"💜

Then a little while later, I got told my lips didn't look good and should make them 'normal' again. We can NEVER please everyone and the sooner I can truly realise this- the better.
