00:00The surprising reason we appear younger than past generations backed by research.

00:05Do we really age more slowly or think we do?

00:08Style, smoking, air, sunscreen, nutrition, and care all play roles.

00:13And studies suggest today's generations do age slightly slower.

00:20Vintage hairstyles and clothes instantly date us.

00:23Faces with higher contrast, darker brows, lashes, and redder lips tend to appear younger

00:28as experiments show people consistently judge them that way.

00:35In 1965, about 2 in 5 U.S. adults smoked by 2022, about 1 in 9.

00:42Less smoking reduces smoker's face, grayer skin, and deeper wrinkles.

00:50Air quality has improved for decades with fine particles dropping nationwide since 2000.

00:55Traffic pollution accelerates wrinkles and pigment spots, while cleaner air and fewer oxidants mean less daily skin damage.

01:06UV light accelerates aging by damaging collagen, elastin, and pigment.

01:12A trial found daily sunscreen slows this process, while hats, sunglasses, and consistent care remain key.

01:18Work shifted from labor-intensive jobs to screens and service.

01:25Since 1970, higher maternal age and smaller families have changed sleep, stress, and physical demands.

01:35Fortification and better access improved nutrition.

01:38Iodine and salt prevented goiter.

01:40Folic acid in grains lowered serious birth defects.

01:43And U.S. folate deficiency fell sharply.

01:50Neuromodulators and fillers give quick results with minimal downtime.

01:54Peels, lasers, whitening, veneers, and aligners refine features.

01:58Brighter, straighter teeth make faces appear younger.

02:01Hair density peaks early, then declines, altering perceived age.

02:09Grooming, strategic volume, minoxidil, and finasteride can counter loss.

02:14But styles themselves can soon look dated.

02:19Modern cameras expose every detail, while older ones soften flaws with shadows.

02:24Now, Photoshop filters and beauty modes reshape faces, constantly shaping how we perceive and value appearance.
