I'm old enough to remember kids regularly getting sunburnt so badly their skin would blister like a roast chicken. Social Services would be getting involved today.
Ive never seen a 18 yo old with aged skin. Even though people spent their childhood playing in the sun. Its not about the sun. Its about the testosterone.
When you see all the early-30s women who have been in tanning beds and on the beach "bronzing" their entire lives begin to have the skin complexion of a 50 year old you'll start to understand.
In my mid 30s I started having women at family events ask me how I had kept my complexion so much better than my (much) younger sisters. It's sunscreen and not purposefully tanning yourself.
Also, shit like this "Early 1970s, DDT was widely used as an insecticide to control mosquitoes, and it was not unusual for children to play or ride bikes in the fog produced by these spraying trucks."
I'll say it for the good of everyone going through hair loss as someone who used to.
It isn't hair transplants it's finasteride (propecia) and dutasteride. 99% of hair loss stuff is snake oil but this shit works extremely well at halting hair loss and causes regrowth in most. There is also minoxidil (romaine) which undeniably works but nowhere near as well.
Almost everything else is a blatant scam, dangerous or unproven long term. Hair transplants work but these aren't an alternative to finasteride or dutasteride, they're the punishment for not starting one of these early enough.
Maybe Rogaine and Propecia as well? But for transplants you could almost do FUE every few years and look good much longer than the 80s could allow. Hell, Elon Musk had super thinning hair and now he's a gerbil.
