          His conclusion is that both literal faster aging and superficial presentational factors contribute to the perception.

          He even specifically mentions sunscreen as one of the most significant individual factors.

          So does sunscreen have a significant effect after all? reddit has a hate boner for sunscreen, saying it either does nothing or "It just makes you look like a healthier version of your age, it doesn't make you look younger"

              Sunscreen doesn't de-age you, it prevents the sun from aging you as much. Mind you, it isn't as good as just not going out in the sun. You might be surprised just how much of apparent age is simply a measure of skin quality (especially tightness/elasticity). That's how come people in vietnam who work outside their whole life can look 160 at 80.

              There's a video does the rounds now and then showing a young-ish pilot experiencing high g force and sagging all her facial features. She literally appears to age a few decades in seconds. The sun fricks up your skin, causing it to wrinkle and sag. More sunscreen = less of that.

                Skin damage is cumulative. Any time spent with unhealthy skin is damage that is going to age you. Basically to "agemaxx" or whatever you need to maximize the health of your skin on a day to day basis, minimize time outside, & use sunscreen whenever you do go out.

                moronic. Sunlight "filtered through" glass obviously doesn't "lack red". Which you would realise if you thought about it for a femtosecond as when looking through glass you can - you know - see red.

                Even if it did (or more reasonably, filtered infra-red). That would be subtractive - fewer photons of a given energy level are getting through, be they red, blue, UV, whatever. So how would this filtered light have more "blue light" toxicity than normal sunlight, which contains all the same wavelengths and more. Answer is: this is a load of bollocks.

                To the extent that blue light is harmful, it is to eyes not skin (hence why your computing devices now come with a nifty built-in blue light filter, which you should try if you haven't). UV is the light that damages skin, which just so happens to be the light which sunscreen is opaque to.

                Oh how little you know. The blue spectrum of light is not harmful to eyes. The blue wavelength is loosely correlated with wakefulness, and thus some people use blue light filters from help trick their minds into letting them get tired enough at night to sleep despite continuing to use devices late at night.
                Personally, I hate the filters and find them to be stressful on my eyeballs. Less light via lower brightness with good contrast, or even partially translucent black filters, is orders of magnitude better. Negative 46% brightness ftw.

            sunscreen is for the beach or when it's literally high noon sun beating down on you.
            problem is people started wearing sunscreen for even mild days - coz obviously why wouldn't you?
            well reality is putting chemicals on your body in situations they weren't designed for instead leads to nasty side effects.
            tl;dr - wear sunscreen at the beach and when playing sports. don't wear it otherwise.

          Why did people used to look older?

          I think this is an underappreciated answer. When we were kids we were outside from the morning until it got dark almost all summer. There wasn’t much to do inside the house besides watch tv. I’m sure being in the sun is part of it. I still think the average guy had more masculine faces back then. And while we’re at it, temperament too. Not in a modern ‘masculine’ means being an aggressive dickhead with a bad attitude kind of way but just more mature and serious

    Psychologists usually suggest its mostly due to older fashion sense being associated with being old combined with people often being deceived by a cherry picked example and confirmation bias.

      Psychologists are moronic and so is anyone who thinks this. It's not a tiny or cherry-picked sample, there's countless fricking examples and it applies to all ages; the average 70 year old of today doesn't look much like the hunched-over, white-haired, wrinkly archetypal image.

      But yeah, the cherry-picked thing is bullshit. There's millions of people who have been preserved through video. Watch random videos from the 80s and 90s and most adults of any given age will look older than today. There's several reasons for it. Pinning it all on fashion is just so depressingly, exhaustingly, thuddingly stupid.
