If you’re an avid Tiktok user, then you’ve probably come across this “Aged” AI filter that has recently taken over the platform. This effect, which has been used in over 8 million videos, shows you what you will look like when you’re older.
Many popular influencers and celebrities hopped on the trend, including Kylie Jenner, Courtney Cox, Kim Kardashian and her daughter North West as well as Hailey Bieber. Several dermatologists and skin experts even vouched for the filter, saying that it is mostly an accurate representation of what a lot of people will look like after a few years.
This trend served as a “wake-up call” to many. More and more people are now realizing the importance of anti-aging skincare, and how starting early will be key to having youthful looking skin even as you grow older.
So, is there really a secret to achieving timeless beauty? You’re about to find out now!
Factors that Affect Skin Aging
Before we dive into the world of Anti-Aging skincare, let’s first discuss the factors that affect or speed up the process of skin aging.
Exposure to UV rays
We all love sunny days. Good weather is an opportunity for us to enjoy the outdoors whether it’s going to the beach, taking a hike, or simply having a stroll in the park. In reality, sun is the number one enemy when it comes to aging. Too much UV exposure can lead to wrinkles, age spots and discoloration. Fortunately, you can protect your skin by wearing sunscreen with SPF of 30 or higher and avoid spending time outside during the middle of the day when UVB rays are most intense.
Smoking
Smoking is not only harmful to your health but also to your skin. It depletes skin of oxygen and nutrients, damaging the collagen and elastin. It also accelerates skin aging and causes wrinkles. In just one year of quitting smoking, you will notice that your skin will be firmer and smoother.
Drinking alcohol
Another bad habit that can affect the quality of your skin is drinking alcohol. Our skin gets thinner and drier as we age, but liquor can speed up the process. As the body metabolizes alcohol, it emits a byproduct called “acetaldehyde” a toxin which damages the tissue and skin and causes it to lose moisture. That’s why your skin can feel dry and rough the morning after drinking.
Stress
Stress is an inevitable part of life, whether you’re a student loaded with school works or an employee swarmed with many tasks. This factor also causes your skin to age, as stress produce hormones called “cortisol.” Cortisol is responsible for breaking down collagen, the protein that keeps the skin elastic and young looking. When your cortisol is high, the collagen is low, and wrinkles can form.
