Default Re: Youthful Appearance

And so, following that, is Hard of Hearing. Yet we don't consider it necessary to have a perk "Youthful Hearing" for those with good hearing at age 40+. We just don't apply disads that reduce their hearing.

Likewise, with appearance if someone losses it with age, we reduce it, and if they don't, we don't. There's no need for special perks, etc.

Now, looking youthful without looking more or less attractive, might in some situations be worth something. However, in my opinion, any minor advantages will be balanced by minor disadvantages. Today youthful people are often considered more attractive, but at the same time they are also taken less seriously. The small appearance bump is balanced by the small stigma, and it's a +0 feature.
