This how old do I look trend on TikTok is fueling the fires of the millennial and gen z fight. We're so used to seeing people with perfect influencer faces that have been beauty-filtered, cosmetically enhanced, and facetuned to oblivion we don't even know what a 20 or 30 year old looks like nowadays. In this era of social media obsession, everyone's trying to outdo each other looks wise while also looking down on people who look their age. Are we seeing the effects of the anti aging positivity movement? Millennials vs Gen Z: Who Looks Older #edvasian

But all kids dress like grandpas these days! That’s my boomer observation anyway…😁 And they stare at me, grandma/pa possible age but don’t dress like it? Even as I literally own two things I still wear form my grandpa… You kids are so confussing!

[@jaytch6639]

Anti-aging used to be just for people who are actually old. When kids do it, no wonder they just end up looking like old people trying to look young.

[@Paputsza]

the instragram girls have only 1 face. Whether they're 18 or 80, they all get everything shaped the same way.

[@Cristyface]

Yeah that's true, although I do think it's fine to start doing small preventative things in your late teens. But by that I mean, exfoliating and focusing on hydration and sunscreen. I'm almost 28 and started retinol at around 24, which I think is a decent age considering collagen production starts to go down in your mid twenties. But, 10 year olds? Heck, even 16 year olds, worrying about aging? Their skin is already so good!! (Excluding acne, which is quite difficult to deal with)

[@chiefpurrfect8389]

Anti-aging skincare doesn't do all that much to someone's skin if it's already visibly aged. You are supposed to start *before* you get wrinkles etc. That being said, people are taking it wayyy too far these days and it needs to be talked about, especially when you see literal children worry about it. All someone who cares for this sort of thing needs is a healthy, reasonable skincare routine: wear sunscreen before leaving the house (especially during the summer months), cleanse (just lukewarm water and maybe a bit of soap depending on your skin), hydrate and exfoliate depending on your skin's needs. That's 4 products max and you can find decent ones pretty inexpensively these days. You can also make them at home using everyday ingredients and minimal effort.

[@GuyBradburyy]

@@chiefpurrfect8389Or just wash your face with water. Depends on your skin. My skin became so much better after I dropped all those gentle products and started just using water and showering as normal.

[@Cristyface]

@@chiefpurrfect8389Oh I agree! I guess it all varies, right? I hadn't started to get wrinkles yet, but I figured it was a good age to begin preventative measures right before I hit my mid twenties. I suppose the point I was trying to make was: anti-aging prevention is good, but don't take it to the extreme where you're doing it so young you're more likely to do harm than good, especially because you can go overboard with actives. Children should be allowed to just have fun and not worry about that stuff! I think for kids, just getting them to wash their face and put on sunscreen should be enough, and that's honestly mostly for health reasons since you don't want sun damage to accumulate too bad.

[@seadragontattoo]

Aging is a privilege. While I struggle with getting older, the fact that I am should be a reminder that I'm lucky no matter how I look.

The girl that was shocked they told her 45 doesn't look 45 but she does look a full decade older 😭 Like what was she expecting when she got procedures meant for people in their 30s ??

[@heavenlyshadev783]

I honestly think that's it. When I see faces with tons of obvious fillers and other procedures, it reminds me of all the older women from decades ago who were trying to look younger by getting extensive work done. Now every time I see that "look", my brain automatically ads a decade or two to their ages. To each their own though, you do you people. Whatever makes your inner self happy.

[@imtae5577]

It's definitely the fillers combined with the blonde and tan because she posted a video of her putting on makeup, and before she put on makeup, she looked a lot younger.

[@asvegas777]

The only problem with this is y’all probably have no idea of what 45 looks like by now!!? Honestly I barely can tell… some of my classmates from school (the only people whose age I can be roughly certain) - look anywhere between 30 and 60!! It’s wild.. Much younger people who appear much older, most of it has to do with their style or behavior. In some cases excess cosmetic enhancements. Overall, though if I saw a naked face out of the shower, I probably would be better than chance telling someone in their 20s from someone in their 40s. At least I would hope so. The extreme obsession youth and youthful looks is what’s really different. When we were young, we just were young, not worried about not looking young soon or whatever. Geez even thinking about these things would be so foreign. I feel bad for youngsters these days I really do. I really hope you find your way out of this mess because beyond don’t smoke and be a healthy weight/nutrition and don’t get sunburned it is hugely genetic and not in your control and nor is it an achievement to look younger. You have so much more to contribute to the universe than a wrinkle free skin!!

[@isabellaeleina]

Many of those procedures make pretty girls look older and worse

[@ishathakor]

Lol why are we acting like 36 is old and your knees just start randomly hurting 😂

[@slavbarbie]

Just work out geez Edit: I seem to have upset some people. I was joking around and wasn't being serious. There are many reasons why someone might have knee pain. It's not always a lack of proper exercise. Sometimes it's because of improper exercise. Sometimes it's completely out of the person's control. Everyone should do guided, situation appropriate, and safe resistance / strength training. Solely running is not great. Weightlifting > running. For everyone, young and old. I rest my case.

[@kimberleysmith818]

My knees randomly started hurting at 28. I’m 38 now. Sometimes my knees hurt, sometimes they don’t. They hurt more working out.

[@Sirkanythe]

I remember jokingly telling people my knees age in dog years and at 28 I went to a doctor to have my knees looked at and the doctor told I had the knees of a 40's year old 😬 I spent 5 years as runner seems it'd be healthy if I wasn't 250lbs +🤦‍♂️.

I feel confident "the entire cast of cheers" example is flawed. the guy who played "norm" was in his 40s, not 34yo. The show ran until 1993 and the photo used was clearly from the end of the series which means he would have been around the age of 45yo, NOT 34yo.

[@S.Bunni3]

My understanding as to why people are insulted or afraid to look old, is that media tends to portray aging as unattractive or ugly.

[@user-xm3wd8tz6d]

Not only that but looking older or watching yourself age reminds you that you will die one day and aging is putting you closer to that day. 😂 To keep myself from being sad about that part I just try to remember aging is a gift because not everyone gets to do it. Sometimes that works. 😅

[@bellas2620]

@@user-xm3wd8tz6d I mean it’s a good method. And aging is a gift I suppose.

[@nostressjustcress-fr1uv]

Also, that lady was very obviously a mother. She had the kind eyes and the gentle, slow way of talking. The mom clothes, the mom hair (some greys in there). She looked older but she also looked incredibly kind and warm. The old=bad thought is so outdated.

[@danap472]

Gonna be honest, it’s all about your energy. I constantly get told I can’t be 29 and that I’m mistaken for early twenties, and I honestly believe it boils down to energy- I smile, I’m bouncy, I’m friendly and have a pep in my step- all of that makes it seem like I’m younger than I really am. It’s all about your energy and how you portray yourself to others. Whenever I’m sick or have a weird day, people don’t ever ask how old I am because I’m acting my age. I don’t mean act like a baby or toddler, nothing like that, but simply making it seem like you have energy and aren’t beaten down by the world goes the extra step in making people think you’re younger than you are!

[@siljevanilie]

This makes sense! I have the same attitude, very outgoing, cheery etc. I have, especially of recently for some reason, been told several times that I look mid-20. I'm 31:)

[@xxillicitxx]

Yeah I think one of the major reasons I get clocked for being a lot younger is because I'm energetic and still excited about finding new music or going to concerts or even just knowing in general wtf is going on today lol

[@Xavier-cm7zn]

Very true. I turned 40 this year and I still look and feel in my mid to late 20's. I started skincare when I was 12 because I used to have -- sometimes still do -- extremely oily skin, which made me break out from time to time. Oily skin keeps the skin younger and plumper for a longer time. While none of us can stop time, we can at least just live our best lives and not let a number determine when we hang everything up to "feel old."

[@-Noah-Is-A-Ghost-]

I remember when I was 15 and i don't know why people told me that i looked 30(?!) and now I'm 20 and people say i look 14-17. I don't understand people

[@post_ian94]

Same, but no one ever pinned me as 30, more like 20-22 because, well, when you're a teenager you want to appear "cooler" and older, and especially if you're brought up as a woman you go a little bit too far with the heels, makeup, etc. Now it's fun to see my classmates at uni (master's program) react when I tell them my age.

[@post_ian94]

And sometimes you just kinda "age into your face", if you know what I mean. Like you always kinda looked old but suddenly you get stuck there and your face doesn't age for a while. Happens with height too, I was huge for a 13 year old but I never grew after that lol

[@marykatg8s]

Omg same!! As a tween I'd get mistaken for my younger brothers mom. Now I get asked what grade I'm in. I'm 26 lmao

[@georgecooper9766]

Yeah people regularly assumed I was older when I was a teen probs partly cos I was a bit of an old soul and partly because for some reason people see you are a 6 foot tall and are like ah yes a young adult. Idk why, people usually get tall when they are teens. But now I'm the one friend that gets carded the most at bottle shops and such despite being older than most of them. I guess the height trick doesn't work as well on them 😂

The girl with the fillers...damn, they done her wrong. How can one get cosmetic procedures and look worse off...I'd cry for my money

[@murphychurch8251]

How could anyone being barely an adult expect to look better after fillers etc, though. 🤔 If she had had a disfigured face, a very crooked nose and had that fixed, alright, she could have expected ro look better afterwards. But procedures that are supposed to make an old face look younger, applied to a young face- what was the expectation, I wonder? 🤷‍♀️

[@Boredblacksheep]

@@murphychurch8251 they aren't only meant to look younger, she wanted to look "hotter" so she overfilled her lips, probably adjusted her jawline and cheeks to look like Kylie Jenner, etc. It's not always the pursuit of more youth

[@bellas2620]

She needs to dissolve them fr. Her face could probably go back to normal or close to normal considering she still has elasticity to it. That and moisturizer and not tanning as much would probably benefit her. She’s not stuck looking like that though. She can still fix it

[@Levacque]

But listen to her, though. She's fully convinced it looks good, and I think the whole cosmetic industry has to buy into the same hivemind belief. Otherwise, all the workers and customers would need to admit to themselves that they are making big mistakes on repeat. They gotta lie to themselves, otherwise that's have to change an entire lifestyle and set of values.

[@hayleyquinnx94]

It's her hair and glasses, they're very 80s so of course she looks older. she does also just have some features that are older looking, she looks tired because she has kids, but she has smaller lips than some which can look aging as lips thin as you age. The grey hair doesn't really matter, her hair is just a little frizzy (I get it) so it looks older/more frazzled or run down and tired often reads as older. I look older when I'm tired, I don't think it ultimately matters that much but it is so funny that she's wearing these Rose West ass glasses and wonders why she looks older! It's purely just the glasses and hair and on a much smaller scale looking tired and having thin lips.

It also has to do with facial features. Generally, more rounded or soft features look younger (aka baby face) vs sharper or longer or blunter features look more mature.

As a kid i saw the change in our society reflected from learning about the harm in certain lifestyles. For example people smoked in hospitals and in airplanes and in my husband’s case, in his 😮nursery. Now we know the effects of smoking and second hand smoke.

It has to be so confusing and kind of frustrating as a bartender. Where I live the drinking age is 18, and I still get asked an ID, one night even at three different places. I'm 34. But I remember when I was a teenager I wanted to look older too, and everyone else wanted the same, especially to go out and drink. Honestly I think eventually this will also pass for Gen Z because they're in the middle of that phase (as the youngest is 12, and the oldest is 27, they're in the middle of that particular phase). Gen A won't be much of a difference I think, it's the same story. Heck, if they are concerned about looking young now, you just know their trend will be to look older just to be different. It's the usual cycle of growing up.

The blonde haired woman that does all the fillers, she does look like she’s in her 30s plus.

Those will age you so much more than crows feet. And quite frankly, when I saw when she stated her age, I was shocked because she looks really old. The first lady who was in her late 20s constantly asking do I look 36 she had the same problem. As well as her hair and her clothing. I’m not saying she needs to wear make up but her skin looked dull. And in your 20s your skin shouldn’t look that dull, I do think that the first lady needs a really good skin care routine and maybe she should spruce up her hair a little bit. but I only say that because she’s distressed over the fact that people think she looks 36. If she doesn’t wanna look 36, you need to take care of your skin, you have to get rid of the Grey in your hair, you have to wear clothing that doesn’t make you look frumpy all the time. even Billie Eilish who wears oversized kind of comfortable clothes that could look really frumpy on people, she does fun things with her hair and she wears make up and she takes care of her skin. That’s why Billie Eilish looks like she’s in her early 20s which is how old she is.

There are so many factors that influence how "old" we look. Face shape, hair, body shape/weight, style, skin, posture or even context!

I don't think I look extremely young and when I'm out with my kid, students don't assume I'm a student anymore. Same person, same style, different context. That's why, when I am giving a lecture in a more formal context, like an inaugural lecture or a keynote talk, I tend to wear what I call Stella Gibson core to look more mature. Being a shorter woman with feminine features in a scientific field strongly dominated by men and at conferences where most of them are older and have more accumulated reputation, I want to consciously avoid being mistaken for a student because it unfortunately still can make a difference.

I like to wear makeup in my videos to try and look my best anytime I'm on screen😅 but honestly I love her directness going on cam and acknowledging her grey hairs and all (I got grey bangs when I was 19 serving in the military, signs of aging hits us all at different intervals, the number is nearly irrelevant and I've been hiding those bangs ever since!). Girl is braver than me. Love that about her! I hope the comments have been kind because she's beautiful and being mid 30s isn't the big deal we used to think it was when we were Gen Z's age

[@viciousqueen5096]

I think some people just have features that make them automatically look more mature or younger regardless of their skincare, genetics and lifestyle. Like the 29 year old woman who looks like 36 just kinda has a face matching an older person. Maybe it's because she has droopy eyelids, thin lips and a bigger nose, you know kinda like the opposite of the baby schema. Like people (especially women I think) look automatically younger than they are if they have big doe eyes, a small nose, full lips and round cheeks. Also body types / sizes. There is just a type of figure that I personally associate with a 30+ mom of 3. Also wearing colours, makeup, hair colour that doesn't match your skin tone. I feel like the woman with the botox does look older because of the botox but also the tone of her hair makes her look kinda old.

[@lipstickthesbian13]

Yeah. It's kinda sad but even young folks can have a big nose and small eyes and look older, which comes to show how messed up our aesthetics are nowadays. We all aren't designed to look like anime or Disney characters.

[@Rumade]

This is it exactly. She has a strong nose, and grooves to her mouth which make us perceive her as older. In the first video she looked really quite old and ill too in the grey hoody. It didn't suit her at all. I would have placed her in her 50s. In the second video she looks brighter and better, but still way past 29. My mother is very similar. She has a large nose, went grey early, and had always looked older than she is.

[@ericainbloom]

i didnt start looking old in my opinion until i had a baby at 29. Its all downhill after that. 32 this year. For sister in the first clip, its definitely her nasolabial creases around her mouth and the grey hair that are aging her.

[@santyvalens]

I know a 23 year old who has two kids and she looks 17. I don't think having kids is the issues. It's more lack of taking care through stress and then those things like grey hairs, creases, and cosmetic surgeries that are associated with older people.

[@xprettyhurt9560]

Girl, you look great 😍I’ll be 30 next year and having a baby had he opposite effect on me I havnt aged a day in about 8 years

[@caramazzola2399]

​@@santyvalenshaving kids is stressful, and leaves you with less time to take care of yourself though. Pregnancy is physically , emotionally, economically demanding, and so is being responsible for another human's wellbeing.

[@TabeaSerenety]

​@@santyvalenssome Kids are easy, some are a Nightmare. Knowing "someone" that does not look older since having children does not say anything. Get children yourself and see the difference between a Baby that already sleeps at week 4 for 8 hours at night and another Baby that wakes up every 2 hours day and night. Than come Back an tell me how you aged having Kids 😅

[@TabeaSerenety]

​@@santyvalens to add that every 2 hours awake goes until the child 6 years old 🥴 If you can't sleep for years like that, you will look horrible and feel horrible 😅

36 here, and everyone at my job thinks I’m in my 20s. I think a lot of it can contribute to overall mental attitude and just keeping up a healthy natural life style. No smoking and no drugs, no tanning yourself to death.

[@ah5721]

same ! my genz coworkers in their early 20 said they thought I was 24 I said add 10 years . I sure shocked them !

[@palomagonzalez3448]

People think I'm younger too..but I'm very anxious, smoke and drink. I honestly don't know what it is. But the amount of times I've shocked my coworkers and how dumbfounded they seem makes me think they're not faking it to make me feel better... But being my age shouldn't be anything to feel bad about.

[@alishac5096]

Yeah and generally being open/friendly is a young trait that I think millennials and older has had “trained” into us, while younger generations are more open with their negative feelings which is a good thing (imo).

[@terachuu4077]

I used to asked & compare which is older between my sister and I, funny times. The fact that my sister passed away before 30, age is just number. Positive thinking, positive attitude and smile are making you younger. Fulfill your live with purpose and avoid useless random things on social media😅

[@AmbassadorKat]

A totally anecdotal thing I noticed is when I snoop on ppl I went to high school with, all of the ppl who followed the expectations others had for them look way older than their age, while the ppl who chased their own dreams look much younger. There were a lot of wealthy families at my school, and they all set expectations for their kids- they were told where to go to university, what to study, what career path to take, all to maintain the family image. Every single one of those ppl look miserable as adults. A couple of them did exactly what they wanted to do, regardless of their family expectations, and all of their pictures they look youthful and happy with their lives. Like I said, totally anecdotal, but i definitely still think there’s something to it

[@thirstwithoutborders995]

My aunt said the same thing. She went to a High School reunion and she said, her friends who stayed in the same town and took over their parents businesses, got married early and don't even really travel for vacation looked way older than the people who left after school, have unstable/random careers, had kids out of wedlock and travel a lot. At my High School Reunion (Class of 2004) the people who looked old were basically the people who smoked cigarettes and weed behind the school and hung around the pretentious, smoke filled, drugs-are-okay bars even as teenagers. Alcohol and smoking ages you, la di da. I looked younger for a long time, when I had a kid, I suddenly looked my age. haha.

[@afshanusman9333]

Though there is some logic to your opinion.. it can be the opposite too. I led a grounded life, studied hard, had an arranged marriage. I may not have an exciting life but I am thoroughly content.. have 2 amazing kids, a loving, steadfast, slightly boring husband (but genuinely dedicated to me and my kids).. Girls my age seem more excited and younger than me as they still party, dress well and go out a lot. I mostly stay home, prefer charity over shopping and dress modestly. You might think I look old (and I do) but I am content. The point being, the people who look old may not be bothering to put up much effort as they are content with the way they are...

[@CiceroSapiens]

So true! Artists stay young!

[@outtaspace1566]

Stress factor is one of it. I believed there’s beauty trends that kids used as “role model”. The kardashian and ariana grande must be in part of these. People just don’t want to be “white skin”? Why is that? While in my country people wants to be white, consume shit tons thing till their kidneys damaged. Celebrities play a lot role in this. Millennial look older too in 2000s lol

[@bellatindale3120]

Wow

[@KittySheep]

I am 6 years older than my late gen Z partner, and I look like a tired teenager. Something I want to note, and this is with the heavy caveat than people can do whatever they want with their bodies, but I automatically think people with a lot of plastic surgery and fillers look older because I grew up only seeing older people have those procedures. It's like the style association thing Vsauce explains. Plastic surgery to look younger = being older to me.

[@heavenlyshadev783]

[@lethalaffection9705]

it also doesnt help that all the popular 90s shows literally casted 25 year olds as high school aged teenagers.

[@piau1798]

12:13 honestly with this lady it’s everything. The to dark spray tanned orangy face combined with the cool blond tone that really doesn’t match the skin tone, makes it look leathery, the fake lashes plus overfilled lips and puffy face from probably filler. Get the right foundation for your skin tone, get a hair Color that complements it (this forced blonde just looks cheap) and take of those lashes, she would instantly look younger imo

[@dees3179]

I’m pushing fifty and have been through hell re health the past decade so I look pre rough and feel worse. Looking in the mirror is something to be avoided. But I was happy to see that based on your video there are apparently a lot of much younger people who also look like the back end of a bus. Misery loves company. 🤓

[@roseskyeohmy]

My coworker thought I was 25 when I was 20 and an airport security guard thought I was under 18 when I was 22. It’s never on the nose because aging is complex.!

[@mpGreen03]

I think a lot depends on other things too, your hairstyle, hair color, what make up you're wearing or not wearing, your clothes, voice and actions. I see 11-12 years old who purposely try to look 20 years old or older so it always looks weird. That's what happens when you blidnly follow influencer fashion I guess.

[@scandalfrb4154]

I'm an actor, and I once had two callbacks on the same day: one for a 19 year old and one for a 52 year old. And, on that very day, I decided to stop wondering how old people thought I looked

SMOKING!!! tobacco smoke was everywhere prior to the 90s and it ages the hell out of you.

[@sylvia470]

I've been smoking for a decade now, but at 35 they still ask my ID, so no, it's pretty much genetics.

[@dark-shadow_]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@sylvia470if you are 35 then you should know that smoking causes damage lol, it's literally proven that you will "age" quicker. Some other effect from smoking are. Dry skin, uneven pigmentation, baggy eyes, saggy jawline and deeper facial wrinkles. Ofcourse everyone experiences it differently but it WILL make you look more aged the older you get because it literally damages your cells.

[@demonsalwayswin]

Not true, smoking for years never aged me. And I actually think more millennials used/use to smoke rather than Gen Z as when I was a teenager is was 'popular' to smoke and you got bullied for non smoking and now it's the opposite. 😆

Baby face can also be challenging to have since some people won't take you seriously since they think you're a child. I was 25 with my mother in law, when a house realtor asked what high school I would be attending in the area and I said I'm out of college and trying to get my own place lmfao.

I told her I didn't graduate from there and I graduated in 2007. When the math caught up to her it was a smack in the face. having a baby face sucked !

yeah thought the same, she could look much younger, i dont get why she doesnt dye her hair, if shes 29 and already getting gray hair, thats crazy. Yeah she shoudl definetly get some new glasses... although getting guessed 35 while your 29 is really no insult.

[@KyrieFortune]

Yeah, the first video has the "I am not old, only chronically tired" vibe, the second video has a "I am old and trying to look younger" vibe which influences a lot how we see someone

[@AegaTheCat]

​@@soom878 Maybe she likes her hair and don't want to get it colored. I have a friend who got grey hair when she was 21, it's genetics and she doesnt care about it, leaves it as is. Also, this thing with age.. it's genetic as well. I get that using botox and maybe stressing out ur skin with different chemicals (anti-aging creams etc) plats a big roll, but genetics are very important. So some people will look younger, others older, no matter what they do. And another thing, is that when asking people "how old do i look", one needs to think about the fact that different people will think that different attributes ages u up/down. Some will notice ur wrinkles more, for ex, while others wont. It's about what details people notice. Sorry if hard to understand, English is not my main language 😅😊

[@AegaTheCat]

Another thing. I didn't notice her gray hair, so it didn't affect how old I thought she looked. However, she looks tired, which I understand because she has children. She has slightly darker circles under her eyes and I think that affects how old she looks. I also have dark circles, and look younger if I put makeup over them. I think that if you look less tired, you usually look younger too.
