From expensive chemical peels to Botox injections, some people will do almost anything to look younger.
But according to a new survey, no matter what cosmetic procedures you try, Gen Z will consider you ‘old’ from the age of just 35.
For the survey, experts at EduBirdie asked 2,000 Gen Z and young millennials when they think old age really starts.
The results revealed that more than a fifth (22 per cent) of Gen Z say age 35 is already over the hill.
That will come as bad news to 35-year-old celebrities including Taylor Swift, Emma Watson, and Daniel Radcliffe.
In contrast, just over a third (35 per cent) of millennials believe 40 is the age when youth expires.
Forty-year-old celebrities include Cristiano Ronaldo, Katy Perry, and LeBron James.
‘Millennials are far from retirement, and Gen Zers are still the baby generation. Yet, many are certain that old age is fast upon them,’ EduBirdie said.

While the oldest Gen Z are turning 28-years-old this year, the survey results found that three per cent of Gen Z consider people old by just age 27.
This includes youthful celebrities like Kylie Jenner, JungKook, and Central Cee.
Six per cent think ‘old’ is from the slightly older age of 30 – including stars like Logan Paul, Megan Thee Stallion, and Post Malone.
Meanwhile, thirteen per cent think you’re ‘old’ from age 35, while 26 per cent say it’s at age 40, 21 per cent at age 50, and 31 per cent at age 60+.
In contrast, 41 per cent of millennials say that you’re still ‘young’ up until the age of 60.
As part of the survey, EduBirdie also asked the participants at what age they think people stop being ‘desirable’.
Thankfully, the results were much more promising.
Forty-four per cent of millennials and 33 per cent of Gen Z said aging doesn’t automatically make you undesirable.

‘Wrinkles and a few grays don’t bother them, but using outdated slang, dressing like a teen, and sleeping around? It’s not giving,’ EduBirdie added.
The survey comes shortly after a study suggested that people think ‘old age’ starts later in life than it used to.
Scientists from Humboldt University in Berlin discovered that older adults now believe this period of life refers to the age of 74 and upwards.
And this has increased over the years – suggesting that people who were once regarded as ‘old’ in the past may not be considered so nowadays.
Study author Markus Wettstein said: ‘Life expectancy has increased, which might contribute to a later perceived onset of old age.
‘Also, some aspects of health have improved over time, so that people of a certain age who were regarded as old in the past may no longer be considered old nowadays.’
