Does Tsunade's vanity bother anybody else?

Ever since reading that Jiriaya didn't like going into Hermit Mode because it made him ugly

I thought Tsunade would have an "old lady mode" where she DGAF'd about her appearance and focused on power.

But Kishimoto's too afraid to let us see her real face, it seems.

Tsk.

It could be that the usage of sozo saise has aged her so much that her body is like 80, so it can't function as well as a young body. That could explain why she has to keep herself young when fighting, because the youthfull appearance transformation is not a genjutsu, but actually makes her body young inside out.

Exactly lmao. She looks way older than Jiraiya and Oro. I'd guess she was like 85 if I didn't know her.

Her cell regeneration makes her look like that probably.

Why does she look so old at 50?

Cell-regeneration shortens lifespan.

It essentially speeds up "growth" and with growth, comes age.

Hence all those times she regenerated she was actually aging her body at an accelerated rate.

I think it's because she's a symbol!
As long as she's the Hokage, she can't look that old and weak - It would break the illusion the Manga have created: That the hokage is the strongest of all (I know that isn't true anymore..)..

I agree with the theory of cell regeneration and ageing. She didn't do this bcos she was hokage, she used the jutsu b4 she became hokage that naruto never knew she's an old hag until he was told.

because of byakygou, it shortens her lifespan. Apparently she has had to use it enough, that her body has aged much more than the other sannin.

No it doesn't bother me at all. If you had the ability to keep your body in your prime effortlessly when who wouldn't do it?

So does it mean, Sakura will suffer the same fate?

Yes. But don't worry. Sakura hasn't even used sozo saise or byakugo jutsu yet. We don't even know if she is capable of using the jutsu.
