Here are the reasons why they and I look different compared to old pictures:
▪️Lighting : if you notice, all the “before” pictures are taken in bad lighting from unflattering angles or taken from far away and cropped. The “after”is always a selfie or a well lit shot which high light the best features.
▪️camera : quality of camera and pictures have improved drastically in last 10 years. Few phones have an inbuilt filter which automatically makes you look lighter without turning on any settings
▪️make up : we all have learned better make up techniques and use better products than we did before. Usually the before pictures have no make up while the after pictures have a “no makeup “ makeup look.
▪️reduced sun exposure: this reduces tanning especially in people who are prone to get darker even with minimal sun exposure. We all have that one school friend who looks 10 shades lighter than she did before. The reason is desk job with minimal sun exposure
▪️using a suncreen regularly and consistently can help in making skin tone light uf darkening was due to tanning.
▪️skin care : following a consistent skin care routine improves skin quality which reflects light better making you appear brighter than before.
