    TLDR Changing habits can make you look younger and improve your overall health.
    The paper from 2019 discussed the significant factors affecting perceived age, a modifiable psychosocial factor. It emphasized that while aging is unavoidable and irreversible, perceived age can be altered through aesthetic medicine. Factors influencing perceived age include hair color, skin color, general appearance, and environmental factors. Although many of these factors can't be avoided, lifestyle changes can be made to appear younger and more well-groomed. The paper suggested that changing habits can benefit not only the skin but the whole body.
