It feels it is more just temporary and you get restored to the normal condition with a good night of sleep. Especially skin ageing.
If you see pictures of people from around 100 years ago, they seem to be about the age they were. And they had much healthier lifestyle.
I feel that ageing your skin is something more to each persons genome. The scientific researches are very insipient and inconclusive.

A massive chunk of how you visibly age is absolutely [dependent on genetics](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3583889/). Lifestyle choices do matter, but you drew the card you drew and to some extent, you’re stuck with it.
But sleep is the time when the [body repairs itself](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6777699/) (and your [brain](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4651462/) goes through all manner of reorganization and jettisons waste byproducts through the different stages of sleep). So sleep deprivation means that you’re not getting the optimum regenerative time that you could be.
As far as photos from 100 years ago, it’s worth mentioning that cameras from that time aren’t anywhere close to what we’ve got today in terms of their ability to capture clear images. So those photos are essentially “filtered” because of the limitations of early technology – you won’t see fine details like wrinkles, enlarged pores, and other visual indicators that we associate with aging. Then add in the degradation of the actual photo itself (these were all printed on some kind of paper, which doesn’t age well).
