I am specifically talking about individuals in their 20s and 30s who possess such radiant complexions and lustrous hair. While DNA is certainly a factor, they still look stunning even without relying on things like fillers or botox.
Wealth translates to the ability to hire experts and purchase premium products.
It takes both money and the free time to frequent salons and maintain a rigorous home routine. Their professional lives aren’t as demanding as ours.
My dermatologist noted that affluent patients often spend a full hour every morning and evening applying topical treatments. Many also use multivitamins regularly, and they are incredibly consistent with daily Vitamin C supplements. These costs are prohibitive for most, and you won’t see a difference if you only try it for a month.
They have very little contact with environmental pollution since they don’t use public transportation for work. They live without financial stress, use elite salons, and usually wear a lot of makeup. You will rarely see a wealthy person in public without a full face of products.
Dietary habits and personal upkeep play a huge role. When you can afford help like a personal chef, you can focus entirely on your nutritional strategy and self-care.
They use the most expensive skincare available; a single bottle of moisturizer can exceed a normal family’s yearly budget for personal care. They have access to the latest cosmetic tech and top-tier specialists. Because they stay in climate-controlled environments, they avoid sweat and grime. They don’t do manual labor like cleaning, and they spend thousands on high-end supplements.
My perspective: 1) Diet—what you eat shows on your face and hair. 2) Exercise—sweating helps clear out impurities. 3) Hydration—water is essential for flushing the system. 4) Products—they help to an extent. 5) Genetics—this is a major factor as well.
My looks improved significantly as my wealth increased. This is mostly due to: less time in the sun and smog because I’m always in a car or plane; better food quality; regular spa and salon visits; daily vitamins; seeing a doctor for even small concerns; gym memberships; and actually having the time to do all of it.
I look better now than ever before. Here is a breakdown of my spending: 15-20k monthly on fitness and trainers, 2k on hair maintenance, 50k this year on dermatologists, and 15-20k on monthly wardrobe updates. I am very picky about food for my skin health, spent 60k on my teeth, and get regular blood work. Advice for others: get your blood tested for deficiencies, consult a dermatologist but buy affordable pharmacy versions of their recommendations (like Tretinoin), ignore expensive social media trends, and be consistent with SPF. Also, focus on your intelligence; confidence makes you look better. I’m 33 but regularly get mistaken for 26.
I consider myself wealthy, but I honestly don’t have the time for elaborate skincare or salon visits because my business takes up my whole life. I regret not starting a routine when I was younger despite having the money. While I don’t do it, my sister-in-law spends over 3 lakhs a month on her beauty treatments and spas, and my sister does the same.
