I understand genetics, and also facial features like having high collagen regenerative qualities with soft skin when this is supposed to noticeably slow down compared to peers of your similar age. Some true outliers having great natural complexion where people truly just look youthful because of how their face and body is structured, them literally having genetic differences that makes them age more healthy than others, even regardless of how careless they choose their lifestyles to be lived. I'm not being contrarian, I do understand these outliers and social expectations of your age bracket.
But being slightly healthy and making sure to shave regularly as a male about to be 30, it's funny when relatives think I'm still in my early or mid 20s, and find it surprising. I always chuckle inside whenever people comment on me looking young when revealing my age, like no I just do the bare minimum and take care of myself, having a grooming routine, which instantly stands out when you are consistent about it and typically look your age. People don't realize how much a difference it makes, I notice this in my appearance, especially as a male whenever I dont shave, or exercise, or dress in a flattering way that accentuates or compliments my look and I look in the mirror and, wow, neglecting yourself with what you're supposed to do anyways makes you more older from looking a bit worn out!
Really had noticed this when I grew my hair very long just a year ago(and happen to be very fit athletically in that period and in the best shape and diet in more than a decade up to that point), people not only treated me differently with having this softer appearance but I was treated much more charitably and was deemed as more approachable so others were very much more friendly when I would go out, regardless if I knew them or not because I assume they thought I still appeared as a freshly turned 20 year old adult barely able to drink. I didn't realize until looking back on it, as about half year ago, had buzzed my hair very short, so I'm not even just trying to act like I'm obsessed with looking young or dwelling on this concept.
Don't treat your body like shit and try to be sharp mentally, and you will age healthy and it will look that way.. Wow, such a damn concept!
