Sun Damage & Anti-Aging #shorts

Her makeup and lighting are both a thousand times more flattering too

[kevroyce]

Let’s also keep in mind the vast difference in lighting

[amarug]

People here mentioning the difference in lighting are of course correct, but still, the skintone difference is very well infereable! Great result for sure..

Y’all are focusing on the wrong things. Her fine lines and sun damage are clearly greatly improved, as well as her facial fullness and skin brightness and texture. Of course there are lighting differences, the practice probably had a different technology set up and camera to track patient progress 10 whole years ago.

What I’ve noticing isn’t freckles, but wrinkles and no fat under eyes, loosen skin on cheeks, and on the write the absence of that, which doesn’t happened to people 8 years later. You don’t get fat on your cheeks and under eyes- you loose it.

Before and after issues: makeup (and remember folks-foundation is makeup), flash, CLARITY (after picture looks like it has a blurring effect, it is not as clear), Biiig smile versus completely flat expression. I get lines out the wazoo from smiling that big.

No matter what, before and after pics should be makeup free, same lighting, same expression, for maximum belief of the claim.

*An "avoiding sub damage" testimonial, here.* Ppl really don't understand just how much difference sun damage makes; like, everyone knows it causes premature aging, but most have no concept of just _how much_ of the "normal" aging we take for granted is actually premature.
I was born with what my Bubbe used to call "an English rose" complexion, so from the time I could toddle, I wasn't even allowed into the back garden without sunscreen & a hat; I burn _so_ easily. By the time of my teens, it was just part of my daily routine; shower, brush teeth, apply sunscreen. Bc it was habit, I've kept it up as an adult. And the result?

Well, this is going to sound like a humblebrag, but I figured it was a relevant + I should post a comment; I'm 40 in 4 months, & I've really only started visibly aging in the last couple of years - ppl still consistently pick me as like 7 years younger than I am (even long-term friends [I'm in a mixed-ages friend group, so specific numbers don't actually come up that often] get all Surprised Pikachu when I happen to mention my age) & I had like a decade of "being" 25 + having to correct ppl.

It was tough being a teenager in the late 90s + early 2000s when tanning + bronzer were the big ideal (I did try self-tan a few times, but even with the expensive stuff, it just didn't look right on me), but staying the course & protecting my "glimmering moontan" to quote my (still! 🥰)bestie has really paid off; now former classmates who've friended me on social media refuse to believe I don't filter my selfies (it's not a principle thing, I'm just too lazy to learn new tech).
I'm sure _some_ of it is probs not having had children + never being a smoker. I do not doubt that.
But I'm pretty sure the majority is down to my ritual application of sunscreen that I still practice everyday, even if I'm not leaving the house + just as part of my morning toilette, & my routine donning of a wide-brimmed hat (& sometimes, on particularly bright days, a big black golf umbrella, too) before I step out of the door - even just to walk the 9m down the driveway to check the letterbox, lol.

Her thicker and way higher brows make her eyes look three times bigger. Not to talk about the subtle lip flip.

Before and after pictures should be taken in the same lightning, both with neutral expressions.

[amargacanica]

Picture on the left she looks beautiful and natural, picture on the right she had some major work done and she is unrecognizable

[SoundofSilence]

Also, her hair color is toned down from a brassy blond to a beautiful natural blond, her eyebrows are fuller and more natural looking, the excessive false eyelashes snd black mascara are gone, lips look fuller. Skin tone is an important part of the new look, but only one part. Makeup also appears more matte rather than shiny.

I’m just going to embrace aging and love myself the way I am. I’m sick of feeling like I need to look 20 for forever. Aging is beautiful.

[marliokono]

Wow!! She looks so much happier in her earlier life. 😮
I hope she has joy now. ❤️‍🩹

Last year I started treating my rosacea with prescription topical medication and wearing a separate sunscreen under my makeup. I never intentionally tanned and always wore tinted moisturizer with SPF daily but didn’t realize that wasn’t enough until I started following you and some other dermatologists on YouTube. I’ve been feeling frustrated that my skin looks so pale lately, but I just looked back at some old photos, and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t realize how much hyperpigmentation and how many age spots I had before. I’ve always had some freckles and thought my age spots were freckles too but now I can see I was wrong. At age 40 my skin is more even and clear than it was 5 years ago. I still have some permanent redness on my cheeks and around my nose from rosacea that I may seek out some laser treatments to address, but my rosacea has much improved, and my age spots have faded a lot. I can say that daily sunscreen really does make a big difference in helping to reduce hyperpigmentation and redness.

Edited to add: I don’t use anything in my skincare routine specifically to target hyperpigmentation. I use metronidazole gel for my rosacea. I double cleanse with micellar water/makeup removing balm and a gentle cleanser, I wear a mineral sunscreen during the day and moisturizer at night, and a few days a week I use a gentle Retinol around my eyes and on my forehead.

This doctors skin and personality is beautiful. She honestly seems so easy to talk to and I feel like she’s my friend when I watch these videos.

[alicec.]

7 months taking my skincare routine seriously every day and my skin is amazing. I struggled with acne even at the age of 34 and it was leaving dark spots of hyperpigmentation on my face. Your advice helped me together with a dermatologist in person.

[stellamaxwell]

She looks like she went from 40 to 25! Although the brow lift, lip lift, and revision rhinoplasty have helped a great deal too. Regardless, excellent progress!

[michellegosnell]

That's amazing that evening out your skin tone, can give you full lips and a totally differant nose, and reversed aging

This is why skin specialists annoy me sometimes. The lighting in one photo is particularly horrible, the lighting in the other is actually pretty decent, the facial expression in one photo is a big smile with wide eyes, the other photo has no facial expression, the editing in one photo is high on saturation which will sharpen any lines and make uneven skin tones more obvious, the editing in the other photo is pretty minimal but likely has a built in softener within the camera used.

[PearlM]

Let’s start with the obvious. Better lighting, makeup, hair coloring. I see some surgical enhancements, possible Botox, filler, other laser or derm grade skincare. Lips look fuller and her nose and eyebrows look possibly surgically enhanced. She’s also not smiling so everything looks more still on her face.
