The last decade has seen a spike in cosmetic procedures including lip filler, cheek filler, botox and more. However, despite these procedures being used to enhance beauty and reduce the appearance of ageing, many are beginning to wonder if they're having the opposite effect. Social media users have been speculating why some of the cast members of the latest Love Island series are looking a little older than thirty when in reality they are in their early to mid-twenties. Let's get into it.

It's once again that time of year when we all rush to our sofas at 9pm to witness the drama erupting on Love Island each night, but this year viewers can't help but notice a difference in the islanders.

Social media users can't seem to wrap their heads around how the Love Island cast members, specifically Nicole Samuel, Samantha Kenny, and Jess White, are only in their twenties, sparking a discussion on whether cosmetic fillers should be banned in the UK.

The tweet even caught the attention of those across the pond, with a Canadian TikTokker chiming in on the discussion and comparing British women to their Canadian counterparts, stating that the beauty standards in Canada are entirely different.

Nicole, 24, Samantha, 27, and Jess, 25, have evidently dabbled in receiving cosmetic procedures in their lifetime, however, could this really be making them appear older?

‍

Another theory is that Gen Z is simply ageing "like milk".

‍

This discussion has been in talks for months on social media, with users expressing concerns that Zoomers are looking much older than Millenials did in their twenties.

Although there is no science behind the older appearance of Gen Z, some speculate it may be related to stress, wheras others have suggested that vaping may contribute to to rapid ageing of Gen Z. What do you think?
