Old age is a biopsychosocial and cultural phenomenon and presents a strong transformation in level of exteriority. With the changes of the body, the external one reflects the old age of the individual, who, in turn, can experience this reflection in different ways. Thus, this article refers to a theoretical and reflexive survey on old age, with the objective of presenting an existential understanding, based on the existentialism of Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre, about the influence of the other's gaze on the aging process and in the experience of old age.
