We are both millennials. Aka ageless women. None of us even look our age anyway.
Is this a thing?? I’m a millennial and don’t look my age and have noticed the same for plenty of other women around my age. I’ve always wondered about it, but hadn’t heard of it in a broad sense.
Having children takes a huge toll on the body. Millennials tend to have none or a lot fewer children than previous generations.
Also, millennials eat way healthier and smoke less than their parents and grandparents.
Yeah it’s kind of a running joke but true. I suspect it’s because of sunscreen and a lot of us never smoked.
Idk. Our generation just seems to look younger.
People can’t believe I’m in my 40s now. I also have a baby-face so that just adds to it. And I’ve always been good about wearing face sunscreen because im pasty and burn easy.
Never smoked.
Also no kids.
I see the generations after us looking older than us.
I don’t know what changed.
I’m the same but with moisturizer (I typically make my own out of cocoa butter, coconut oil, and olive oil) and sunscreen. Also I don’t wear foundation and only wear makeup for nights out and other occasions. I get the occasional zit, but my face is aging gracefully for now.
My hair on the other hand, I do very little for and is a disaster.
But yeah I think that it’s really possible to overdo skincare, especially if you buy into all the propaganda that the beauty industry puts out.
Heavy makeup is a thing for the older generations and the younger generations.
I think I’ve only worn full face makeup 3x in my life. If/when I ever do put on makeup, it’s typically mascara. Every now and then eyeliner and eyeshadow. That’s literally it.
That could also be a factor. I too wear no makeup most days. And even when I do it’s a little macara or something. Haven’t worn full face makeup since a few times as a teenager for like homecoming or something

And even though we grew up without it, we now wear sunscreen.

edit: plus maybe clean air laws.

I suspect many of them overdo skincare, diet, etc.
Ive been washing my face with bar soap since I was a teen. That’s my skincare routine. And I grew up eating junk food. Though I do eat better now. 🤷
