Dude my gorgeous friend 38 getting filler. Now looks like she's ate some shellfish she's allergic to.
Keeps getting it every 6 months or so.
Just awful.
I can't tell her cause that will make her feel even worse.
God I hope she stops. I'm angry at the advertisement and grifters that convinced her she needed it.
We are both millennials. Aka ageless women. None of us even look our age anyway. And she's thinking she needs to fix her perfect face.
Idk. I just reject all that nonsense. I'm ready to experience this whole life. I want to be an older woman when I'm older. I don't want to be one way forever. Boring.
But culture tells women they are worthless when they are less fuckable. I hate it.
My wife, 38, objectively gorgeous, is fully on the botox train and it breaks my heart. Feels like its so prevalent a sizeable chunk of the population must have full on body dysmorphia.
Is this a thing?? I'm a millennial and don't look my age and have noticed the same for plenty of other women around my age. I've always wondered about it, but hadn't heard of it in a broad sense.
Yeah it's kind of a running joke but true. I suspect it's because of sunscreen and a lot of us never smoked. Idk. Our generation just seems to look younger.
People can't believe I'm in my 40s now. I also have a baby-face so that just adds to it. And I've always been good about wearing face sunscreen because im pasty and burn easy.
Never smoked.
Also no kids.
I see the generations after us looking older than us. I don't know what changed.
I suspect many of them overdo skincare, diet, etc.
Ive been washing my face with bar soap since I was a teen. That's my skincare routine. And I grew up eating junk food. Though I do eat better now. 🤷
I'm the same but with moisturizer (I typically make my own out of cocoa butter, coconut oil, and olive oil) and sunscreen. Also I don't wear foundation and only wear makeup for nights out and other occasions. I get the occasional zit, but my face is aging gracefully for now.
My hair on the other hand, I do very little for and is a disaster.
But yeah I think that it's really possible to overdo skincare, especially if you buy into all the propaganda that the beauty industry puts out.
Having children takes a huge toll on the body. Millennials tend to have none or a lot fewer children than previous generations. Also, millennials eat way healthier and smoke less than their parents and grandparents.
and sunscreen
edit: plus maybe clean air laws.
And even though we grew up without it, we now wear sunscreen.
