Not sure if this is normal with everyone but do people tend to look better as they get older? I know a few oldies who look way better in their 30s than they did in their teens to 20s?

I'm curious to know the other factors we can attribute this to other than biological changes?

true talk! taking good care of oneself is a vital thing, genetics i believe play a part as well as the kind of life that we lead. Your on point for noticing

Your skin adds 15 years to your face!

That's what the cell biologists tell us - and they ought to know because they study the body's cells and the effects of the environment on them. They are finding more and more evidence that this trend isn't about to stop any time soon. In fact, the aging process has been speeding up a bit each year.

What this means is that your skin already looks the way you expected it to look 15 years from now!

Here's another scary thought: What does this mean for the young ones?

If, as the researchers are finding, skin is aging faster all the time, there is trouble in store for those beautiful young complexions. The signs of aging are already there. They just aren't obvious yet.

I wonder why somebody will not do something

It's not age that affects skin most. Actually, age has surprisingly little to do with it. Certain changes seem "inevitable" because you've been led to expect them as you add years.

Scientific research shows that the visible condition of your skin is not a reliable indication of your age.

They estimate that only 10%-20% of skin aging is due to natural causes, like heredity and gravity. 80%-90% is due to man-made causes:

too much time in the sun, failure to protect against weather changes, heating and cooling systems, faulty nutrition, smoking, pollutants in air and -- yes -- water.

Also: medications, stress, well-meaning (but misguided) skin care methods.

AGING PROCESSES

The typical aging process looks different from what you've learned to expect. It looks more like this:
• Childhood - Initial environmental damage - seldom noticed because it's not expected


•Teenage - Hormonal and emotional disruptions often create distressing skin conditions - this is expected. What cell researchers have found is: the greatest amount of damage to skin is done before the age of 20


•Age 20 - "Aging" is well under way -- but not really obvious yet because it's not expected yet. The effects of too much sun, smoking and poor eating habits are among the factors that accelerate the rate of cell deterioration


•Age 30 - Circulation and cell renewal both start to slow; skin loosens along the eye bone and expression lines" begin to show up. Tanning and tattoos are self-inflicted injuries that hasten the aging process


•Ages 25-49 -- Prime time for adult acne (affects 2/3 of all Americans) with resulting skin damage.


•Age 40 -- Lines and wrinkles become more evident; skin loses elasticity and radiance (looks dull, drab); forehead develops furrows; skin develops uneven color and blotches. This is when the chin area may start to droop and skin begins to loosen on the neck


•Age 50 - menopausal changes affect skin health and appearance, with hormonal imbalance causing slackening along the jaw line, more sagging skin on the neck. Skin pallor and age spots become more noticeable


•Age 60 - Lack of tone results in increased depth of wrinkles on cheeks. Dehydration or dryness becomes more evident and skin may even look chapped, red. Bones typically shrink a bit, increasing the slackness of skin. At the same time, skin thins, allowing capillaries and redness to show through


•Age 70 [/b]and beyond - Loss of elasticity continues; wrinkles increase in depth while dryness worsens significantly. Skin color suffers, becoming drab, pallid, even gray and crepe-y.

[b]Most of cosmetic products use potentially dangerous [/b]chemicals like parabens and phthalates.

The parabens chemical have been recently found in breast cancer tissues. This chemical can affect the hormone oestrogen. The phthalates are linked to lower sperm counts in men, premature breast development and allergies.

Cancer??

According to a 2009 article on PlanetGreen, cosmetic and skin care products in the United States make up a $35 billion industry.

In 33 percent of these products, the formulations contain at least one chemical with links to cancer.

Caring for your skin does not require purchasing expensive cosmetics. Arm yourself with a few natural skin care tips and caring for your skin will be a "war-no-more."

Kidney diseases

Nephrologists, in recent publications have vilified these creams containing hydroquinone, mercury, arsenic and some other powerful but dangerous components as agents causing kidney failure.

Most people don’t understand the the health impact of their actions.

Many people have loaded their systems with so much carcinogenic chemicals. Most of these agents are absorbed through the skin.

Don’t over burden your kidney, liver adrenal and your system generally with some of these body creams and lotion.

Whatever beauty you desire, no matter how badly spoilt your skin may be, natural homemade remedies is the answer.

@OP, not all people sha. Infact so many people look depreciated as they age.

@op - so true, Ronaldinho in Nigeria 99 looked like a masqurade.
also there was a girl in my class back in school days, she was damn ugly and has no boyfriend then, a few days ago i saw her in a bank, i swear she has changed a lot, i was almost tempted to ***.

You are what you put in that package God has given you. Trash in trash out full stop. No bleaching creams, don't turn your lungs into a furnace Igbo and ogogoro will turn your brain into putty. Junk food ?welcome flabby body. When you eat right exercise at least 5times in a week take in plenty fluids like pure fruit juice and water avoid pollution. Do some body massages then you will look as fresh and beautiful like me. Don't forget to plant trees they help to give you fresh air. I have about 20 trees in my house do same and notice the differences.

looks like you're talking 'bout white skins.

I looked better when I was younger. I look ugly now.

Well i think its all about packaging as soeone earlier on stated here, be conservative in your consumptions, exercise alot, avoid excessive stress etc and watch yourself age in grace, am a testament to that.
