He (Preda) does look really different in the video vs the thumbnail though I was kind of jarred by it when I clicked on the video.

Dr. Mike, so disappointing. I mean I knew he had has his scrubs tailored to almost skin tight, but shit, that hair, it was sticking a bad rug on a bald man. (Bald men out there, embrace it, we (I at least) find it sexy). If someone judges you on that you don’t need them in your life! Damn! Dr. Mike 😢

@@nolsova1140 Yes.I’m not sure why James is saying that Preda doesn’t look that different. He looks dramatically different in the thumbnail.

@@magpiesneedle2575 Dr. Mike is incredibly vain so I don’t think he’ll embrace his receding hair.

I don't think Observe changed anything in the video. That's definitely the thumbnail and an image from the same video it's just not from the same channel. In the video image you can see Logan (Observe) in the top left hand corner.

Right?? Once I started learning how to see through filters and edits, I’m realizing that my skin is actually in pretty good shape!

exactly!! I feel that!

I didn’t realize that people use filters as much as they do either. Now when I see photos, I immediately think filtered. 🛎👛

I completely agree. It’s amazing what you see (and don’t see) now that James and Robert have pointed these things out.

I have a friend who also didn't know that even face filters existed that she believed everything she saw online. So, I think it's important to educate people, like what James is doing, that they know to not compare themselves to the unattainable perfectionism they see online. Even for those of us who know about it is easy to forget sometimes.

Fr they expect ppl to look like prince philip when they're 30🌚

white women kinda do though. our skin is more prone to a lifetime of sun damage so we get wrinkles fast. i'm only 21 and i've noticed some crow's feet coming up 😂 looking forward to becoming a walking raisin

@@sodense3402 that’s true, but some white people have good genetics too and age well. It depends if you drink or smoke or both and if you put on spf

oh no I’m 26 I’m gonna expire 🥺😔 lol

@@sodense3402 Thank you for your honesty. I'm sure you're still beautiful.

Omg this is so true 😂

@@pippetandpossum Genetics aren't fair! :(

I'm 30 and no I don't look young because I discovered fountain of youth, it's just meticulous skincare and tons of good lucks in genetic lottery 😬

RIGHT

Haha wait till you see my skin. 😂 Just a friendly reminder that you can have imperfect/impaired skin at ANY age. I’m kind of tired of people focusing on age. I’m in my early twenties but my skin is shit and has never been clear for 10 years since I got my period. I have eye wrinkles and deep nasolabial folds, etc. that are typically categorized as “mature” skin. It has never looked “young” or like a “20 year-old’s perfect skin”. My grand aunts, however, have clear plump skin. 🙃

I completely agree with how you decide what should be retouched. Really intelligent answer.

Exactly, I went to school for photography and other digital and traditional arts. I love editing to do restoration or just touching up photos. Enhanced is good, I never erase or move features. That's when things go into uncanny valley too. Like the preda thumbnail.

Just realised that I naturally do this, whoop!

lol I know right? Let me know how you're doing when you're in your 60s/70s. Plus aging is mostly genetics anyway. My mom is terrible with taking care of her skin, sleeps on her side, eats salty food all the time etc. She is in her 70s and has very little wrinkles if at all. A lot of her siblings are the same way. It doesn't look like I got her magic genes unfortunately 😆

Not true, I've noticed a huge difference in my skin just from my early 20's to late 20's and I stayed out of the sun and didn't live "a hard life". It looked way better at 20-22 than it does now at 28. It just got worse and worse along with lots of other things and I'm not even 30 yet, lol. You just have to accept that you'll age and things will change and you just gotta do the best with what you have.

@@RachelScalfani see I am the opposite, because in my early 20s I had severe acne and dehydrated/shit skin along with stress from University and work. Now I am 30 and "more settled", without acne, and I understand the importance of taking care of my skin way more.... and I feel I look better and younger now than I did 10 years ago.

@@hannahvivi7042 wrinkles itself dont really determine "oldness". My mom doesnt have much wrinkles in her 60s rn. However she would look a lot younger if she lost some weight. Being overweight or obese ages you and that extra fat on the face drags the skin down . THATS what really shows oldness, GRAVITY. Saggy cheeks, jowls, bags, and lower hanging lips are what makes someone looks old. Not always necessarily wrinkles

Dude can be awkward better not assume, my co-worker looked 30 turn out she was 17 (nobody believe her 😬)

Right?! 30 is when your collagen really starts to diminish, she hasn’t even begun to “age.” Her tips are good, and I hope she also uses sunscreen. Otherwise all her other “anti aging” effort will be somewhat wasted

Righttt LOLLL!! Thirty years old and your thirties in general, is far from old! I’m not being a stupid twat or whatever, but I’m 39 and my skin is basically what it was at thirty! It’s not a drastic decade if that makes sense! Now when I’m 49, I won’t be surprised if my skin looks different than when I was forty. That decade has more signs of maturity. Aaand there really isn’t a whole lot we can do about it but accept and embrace it.

I'm 19 and even I know 30 is still pretty young, especially where skin is concerned. The only people I know who think 30 is old are kids and younger teenagers, and I really hope they're not looking for anti-ageing tips that young apart from wearing sunscreen.

What a karen comment. People can know alot about aging and be only 30?… You can read on it and do preventive skincare for aging..

@@milliepominville567 She presents herself as somehow miraculously well preserved for her age. And, no, a 30 yo is too young to have proof of concept for their anti-aging regimen, no matter how well informed they are,

I have never used filters. I guess I'm just old like that. Anyway I tried Snow the other day and it cam be dangerous! It looked like me but just a slightly better version of me. And I can see how easy it would be to judge and forget how you normally look. So I like this idea that you're doing!!

I don't know why people hate aging... I think it's sexy. I mean, you grow old and well and improve and change for the better. So what if you grow old? So what if you have bits of wrinkles? At least you don't spend a fortune to be a fake... nothing is uglier than being fake af

@@katlady8552 I never liked filters myself. If I feel ugly, I don't take pics. If I feel pretty I took 20 × of it.

You look younger than your age, you are the one that need to make that tiktok,not that 30 year old young lady.

"shes aged so well!" means "she doesnt have wrinkles" bitches can take several seats. just cos you get wrinkles doesnt mean youre "aging badly". honestly, the one way to age "wrong" is all those hollywood people who add more and more plastic to stave off the signs of their age, but in the process they dont actually look younger, just like an old person in denial

You’re relieved until you see most korean idols’ skin. Some of them were born with great genetics. Even without makeups, their skin look so smooth.

Omg is that what that is! I thought I was going nuts 😂 I have perfect vision but some things look really ’fake’ since I bought a new 4K tv. Glad I know what it is now, I didn’t know whether it was me or the tv 🤣 thank you

American football is like this for me. The cameras they use to record the field are just too high res for me. The textures of the people vs the astroturf (especially) - it weirds me out. I can handle it with studio productions, but outdoor events with so much depth to the background and the textures and the extreme zoom of the suspended cameras…aaaaack. I can’t watch it. 😂

@@jodiegage4093 you will get used to it. at first, it is weird, but your brain/eyes will adjust and it won't look so "off" after awhile

He looked gorgeous either way tbh!

Exactly what I thought. I think he even mentioned this in a video and said that he pretty much just changed the lighting or something like that. That man doesn't need any filters or retouching, he's so damn handsome! And yeah, he seems like a lovely person and he's insanely talented and creative.

And if by chance I do fall asleep on my back, I'll snore myself awake anyways. It's a no for me too.

Yep, if I get sleep paralysis it's always when I've ended up asleep on my back somehow

I get sleep paralysis or nightmares when I sleep on my back

Me too!

Hope things improve for you soon. I work in heritage. I don’t wear makeup at work. Pretty much none of my colleagues do either. The requirements are basically that you are clean, (as in don’t smell, we get dirty at work) and dressed appropriately for the days tasks, hair brushed if you have some and tied back if you are doing something practical . Even in public facing rolls. Possibly some choose to wear a bit of mascara or lipgloss, but it’s genuinely rare to see someone doing more than foundation or concealer, and even then, that’s not common it’self. Perhaps the problem is not you, not all industries are the same. If you want to wear makeup for your self, it’s a shame you’re not able to do so right now, but do think (when you have mental space) about if there is something you can transfer into that actually doesn’t require it. At the very least think about if there is one thing you can do that will make you feel and therefore act like you are more put together. Perhaps that is a good moisturiser or lip balm, and just try to find the energy for that daily.

@@noahbarbosa Yea, their brother Marcus! He has his own channel as well!!

My mother is 64 and I don't know HOW but she has barely any wrinkles. Only wrinkles she has are around her mouth (used to smoke) but no crows feet and no forehead wrinkles. She also has a lot of freckles from sun. Thats it. How!? I kinda hope I have her aging genetics but we'll see when I'm over 40.

Yes! My mom is 60 and has always looked quite young for her age (at least compared to my colleagues and friends' parents), and has done a bit of skincare here and there but nothing specific. She eats ok, doesn't exercise much, doesn't sleep much, and has always been stressed. I think the issue is that people expect the "worst" for certain ages. So, typically folks who've smoked or dealt with alcohol abuse. They don't think of the typical 60. Though it's a whole weird thing with Botox and fillers now.

Both my parents look young for their ages and I naturally take after them. I need to look after myself better, because genetics won't be enough forever.

Wow you do look very young

And having the audacity to give advice when her video had a filter and amazing light!

It’s still an incredible retouched thumbnail. I like him but he doesn’t look like that.

@@BbGun-lw5vi it definitely is but he's not selling anything either so I think it's fine.

Lol are you ok? That photo is heavily retouched, he smoothed his skin, lighted it, removed stable and probably a lot more. Think he was going through a crisis as his other photos are not like that.

@@xandykkaudy8252 No, I'm not ok. But thanks for asking! 🖤

The photos looks like two different people. The nose is different, the eyes are a different color....

Same! I will have nightmares or paralysis experience one I lie on my back

Influencers need to stop with the filtering when doing makeup and skin care videos, too.

to quote connie and carla: "let your eyes crinkle, let your skin wrinkle - if he dont love you when you look like a map, tell him to hit the road"

It's not, it's because he has sleep paralysis. I've had it a few times and it's scary 😬

I really thought I was just bad at makeup and that it hated my skin until I finally started seeing unfiltered and unretouched photos and realized oh, no, that's just how skin works and mine actually looks pretty good.

Me too!!

Nice smile 😀

Especially since living and laughibg will train your face muscles and keep them from drooping... sadness ages a face a lot. I hope you're better now - living with depression isn't easy.

In your mid-30s the aging ride hasn't even really started. Just wait until you hit the late 40s. That's when it accelerates big time.

I can't get over the fact that a doctor lied to us. I have high expectations from him. Doctor? Faux-pas ni ciest liar liar pants on fire arrgghhh

I don't think he did it himself. His KZfaq videos aren't like that.

Nice throwback to that amazing video 😂

But perfection doesn't exist. You got to hang out with REAL people to see that perfection doesnt exist. Even the richest guy in the world isn't perfect. They may have dermatologists, surgeon, dietician, but it allllll ends up in hard work. Positive thinking, healthy habits (no alcohol, drugs, fast food) then you are all set. What makes you amazing is your intelligence, actually.

@@adafihj6439 Right?!? I watch when he first posts, then later when I can have some real me time, locked in the bathroom ☺It feels so therapeutic and relaxing!!🖤💜🤗🤗🖤💙

Yeah exactly. Which is why it’s just the sponsored ads that truly bother me. Nothing wrong with having fun with filters!

I’m not sure about this. So many young people are growing up filtering their photos that it’s making them look negatively at their face and skin. If you get used to seeing your face smooth and “corrected,” of course you’re going to not like the real version. It’s one thing to do it once in a while. But always correcting photos, I think it’s harmful and it’s okay to call it out.

I think it's about balance, general colour and lighting adjustments and patching blemishes aren't that concerning because those factors vary in real life anyway. I do struggle with filters that blur all the texture from the face and change the structure, because those are what make a photo unrealistic and lead to comparisons and feelings of disappointment in real life. I used to filter photos of myself, but it made me feel worse about how I looked in the mirror and photos from friends, family, and other photographers that weren't filtered to the point that I wouldn't show them to anyone.

Right? 3-4 hours & I'm happy. And never on my back.

@@amycortez3289 seriously. I'll sleep for an hour, then be up for 2 hours. It's a constant struggle. And give me my side or I am not sleeping at all.

You should look young at 30 because you are. I mean damn you havent even been an adult for long. IMO you don't notice aging till 40 or 50's.

She looks late 20s anyway, to me. Before I heard she was 29, I thought she was about 27 because your facial features change as well as your skin as you get older. She doesn’t look 21 or anything, I don’t think.

@@Ashethetics I’m with ya!

@@lorimoore5589 true, sadly many young women are aging in their early 20s from sun damage, so I think thats why suddenly looking normal at 30 is suddenly younger looking than expected

@@royalgrimoire yeah I guess. I just know that I worshipped the sun starting in my teen year's an at 22 I used a tanning bed 6 days a week. I even took a extra job at the tanning salon so I could not only tan for free but could exceed the 30 mins by turning it back on because after we closed I was only one there. And after I stopped working there I stilled tanned into my 40's an aging never even occurred to me. I think the first time I started seeing things on skin when I looked in the mirror that were concerning but nothing I was insecure about was 40. I would say 45 was when I was starting to look a see things that really bothered me but at 50 I feel like I started to age 5 yrs for every year. I believe that the damage we do when we are young doesn't show till many years later. If it had I might have stopped but i looked so much better tan that it seemed like a good thing. But boy am I paying the price now. Just like our diets an smoking. My grandmother smoked since she was 13 but she had no health problems until she was 40 but died of emphysema at 79. These days there are so many great self tanning products being in the sun isn't necessary but we won't know the long term effects of those for years to come. Maybe the Amish are onto something 😂
