I feel like "Aging gracefully" is about, like, leaning into your aging and developing your style alongside it, not about desperately trying to prevent it
that's the original meaning but of course these tiktok dermatologists and ps surgeons have twisted it into a concept that will give them the most customers
The TikTok’s about skincare are just ads. They get paid to shill products.
That's what I thought too
YES! YES, OH MY GOD THANK YOU???
Yes. It's about not doing crap like this and desperately clinging to your youth like the evil queen from Snow White.
I think the stress of trying to not sleep on your face, doing a 281-step skin care routine, trying not to smile, frown or move your face at all… will probably age you way faster than just enjoying your life
this400,000,000 times!
The way that this anti aging movement on TikTok looks-like the addiction and obsession aspect of it-makes me think that this is a slippery slope to basically ending up mentally where people with EDs are at. It may be substantially less harmful physically, but the mental toll will probably be just as bad.
Literally...like imagine you get shot and you're laying on your back about to die, will you be satisfied that you spent 75% of your energy on trying to avoid aging??? Its good to take care of yourself but jeez this is insane
A face wrinkled in laughter is way more beautiful than a spotless, flat and emotionless face.
A lot of these people look a lot older than they probably are, ironically.
As an older millennial, who has taken pretty good care of himself, I can attest that these people will have a rude wake up call when they realize that no matter what they do, aging does in fact happen.
Especially when you’re stressed!
Aging will catch up with them fast because they didn't take the time to get used to their natural aging process year by year.
Also I'm 27 and I'm already getting grey hairs, it's gonna happen a lot faster than you expect 😂
Honestly, the one that's like "we know" with the eye roll deserves the reality check. In the end, we'll be old and wrinkly and happy, they'll just be old and wrinkly.
They are prolonging their youthfulness (slightly).
Esthetician here: Reminder that emotionless girl has no proof that not showing emotions will prevent wrinkles. She won't know until she gets much older, which she will inevitably get wrinkles anyway because everyone's collagen and elastin dies and there's nothing you can do about it 😊 also a large portion of good skin is genetics.
In your opinion, do you think she has botox? I don't intend to shame her and she denied it but it really looks like she has had a few injections and I'm basing that on seeing people that have had it.
@@the_local_bigamist it really looks like it, imo.
As an aside: I do think the line "and there's nothing you can do about it 😊" is darkly funny, like,e in general.
if anything,she doesn't have any proof that she's actually over 30 years old either
These people think skin is a sheet of paper wrapped around your muscles.
I feel like that "anti-wrinkle" straw was actually invented for people who are medically unable to purse their lips. I feel like physical limitations is something none of these "clean girls" have ever had to really think about. It's hard to have a biggest fear be getting wrinkles or losing some elasticity when real aging problems - like losing mobility or mental function - exist.
Such a good point! I wonder how the suction works too - right after I had my wisdom teeth out, I wasn't supposed to use straws because of the stitches in my mouth. These straws might cause the same problems that typical straws do, but it would be great to have a design that helps people after oral surgery. And any issues with pursing lips, either chronic or acute, would definitely mean assistive devices like this would be important
Oh my god this hit me so hard, so so true.
you're probably right; but it was also marketed as an anti wrinkle straw because many ability aids have to be also sold to the general public to make any kind of proffit since the ability aid market is usually handled at a much lower profit margin (and even getting into mass production is hard without some kind of proffits to feed back into the machine) It does look like its designed for someone with real issues though, no one is going to go through the engineering designed to get a straw with one closed end to function properly without either having a guaranteed profit involved, or genuinely wanting to solve a real problem.
I guess you don’t have to worry about losing mental function when you are a Girl like them. When becoming older and getting wrinkles is your biggest worry in life I truly think that there is not very much mental function to begin with. So why worry about losing it? 😂
thank you for bringing this up! im a young adult that doesnt have grate mobility in my mouth or with my fine motor skills and i hate that ppl will tell me something like 'at least your not getting wrinkles!'...i hate that a lot of the daily aids i use for things in my life have to be marketed as something like anti aging or whatever when i need it to not make a mess or choke everytime i want a sip of water. i dont need people to bring beauty standards into my entire life and they certainly shouldnt be appling it to theirs either
“i want to age awkwardly and clumsily” is genuinely such a good and important line and i really appreciate it
I know right!? Just embrace the chaos and enjoy life a bit!
same bro, I look forwards to silver hair!
This line was the definition of me in middle school
Let me live ffs
🎶I’m aging like a wreeecking baaall🎵
The saddest thing about that anti-wrinkle straw is that it's actually supposed to be like, a disability aid. It was not invented with anti-aging in mind. But of course tiktok girlies co-opted it 🙄
Thats actually interesting, what disability are they originally for?
Every single thing meant to assist disabilities gets taken over by those who don't need it and either becomes incredibly expensive, goes out of stock, or ends up banned in places like school and its absolutely infuriating. These aids are not toys.
Source? I googled straws for disabilities and nothing that resembled the one from tiktok came up. Then i googled anti aging straw and dozens of them came up..
Oh my lord

Right! Waiting for a black mirror episode about it

@@lawlietedit5744Its absolutely stupid and ridiculous, not using a muscle makes them atrophy over time and guess what do paper thin muscles do? Not hold the skin tightly for sure. Its amazing to me people could think this was a good idea, do they think we have muscles just for fun and that we don't really need them? Its literally like saying I never want to sprain my ankles so I just stopped using my leg muscles when I walk
Wait, so to avoid aging it is best to become Gollum - live in a dark cave where nothing happens (which means you don't have to emote), eat raw meat and eggs, sleep on the ground, get possessed by a piece of jewellery created by a fallen angel solely to do evil
and eat tons of fish. RAW, of COURSE, with cream on TOP
Not the last part, it's why Gollum got so many wrinkles. He didn't even do the 4781 skincare routine /j
im afraid of aging, but its not the physical appearance. im afraid of losing those i love, and maybe even regretting things ive done in the past, losing my agility, etc. so, i enjoy life to the fullest, enjoy the moment. aging is natural, and we should embrace it.

Aging gracefully really should mean “allowing myself to age in a natural manner and not trying to desperately cling to every shred of ‘youth I have left’ by dying my roots every other day so no one can tell I’m greying like a normal person does”
Right? That's what I thought aging gracefully meant. Like that one old woman who became a model despite all her wrinkles. Apparently, aging gracefully is not trying to age at all??? HUH???
fr!
I thought aging gracefully literally meant having natural wrinkles and grey hair but wearing them with grace...
@@EvilCreampuff same, aging gracefully is about accepting your age and still being able to wear a smile everyday without constantly griping about the much hotter young people
Fr fr. If my hair goes grey at 60, man I'll go right ahead and flaunt that cloud of smoke
Honestly the one twitter user was right, aging is infinitely less worrisome than whatever in the world is going on with the people who are terrified of aging.
It is extreme body dysmorphia. They have likely been picked on by family members and/or grew up with a parent who had the same mental issue. It’s a real shame that body dysmorphia is treated differently than other mental illnesses. Depression, anxiety and eating disorders are taken seriously by the majority. Body dysmorphia is apparently just something for brands to take advantage of.
@@fart63 agreed, it's very concerning and pretty widespread from what I can tell. All beauty and diet corporations perish challenge
@@fart63 I think people should do whatever it is best for their mental health so they can feel comfortable in their own body. They're not harming anyone if they're trying their best to prevent themselves from aging. I think they should even get surgery so they can feel younger.
@@fart63 one correction, brands take advantage of other mental illnesses too. From pharmaceutical brands jacking up the price of medicines to the alcohol industry preying on the vulnerable
@@commonsense4361 Surgery usually doesn't 'solve' the dysmorphia so people will continue to chip away at themselves for years trying to become 'perfect' without ever finding full satisfaction with their appearance.
"What causes laugh lines and how to avoid them. 1. Laughing causes them. 2. Don't laugh. Ever.
Imagine getting older and seeing the signs that you've been happy and experienced joy throughout your life, and imagine being upset about that and trying to stop it. What a tragedy.
The fear of aging is called Gerascophobia, from the Greek root gerasko meaning “I grow old”
the fact that people would rather sacrifice smiling, sleeping and laughing to fit into a beauty standard is so horrifying. I hope these people are okay. :(
They aren't. My aunts are that way and they're all miserable and have something missing in their hearts.

Seriously, how much do these people hate themselves? Happy, mentally healthy people don't obsess over their appearance. It makes me wonder if these people's lives are so tightly controlled by others that their appearance is the only thing they have control over, so they're going overboard.

I wrote a whole ass essay about this in school lmao. Aging isnt bad, its a testament to the experiences and wisdom you've gathered during your life. Sure it doesn't help that the media demonizes aging but still, it sucks.
If to be loved is to be changed, then to love life is to let it change you.
aw
I can't imagine being so terrified of having wrinkles that you would refuse to show emotion. It just sounds like a really miserable existence . . .
Absolutly dystopian!
That’s literally my mom 😭
Yes, it does sound miserable and then when they get to 40 or 50 years old and I have wrinkles anyway, they’re gonna be a little bit disappointed. Wrinkles don’t come from stretching out skin, wrinkles come from your facial muscles relaxing over time.
"Oh honey, of course I was happy about your proposal? but I can not smile or laugh for happyness I get wrinkels"
It is tragic. Nothing in life is more meaningful to me than expressing and sharing true emotion. My face is the medium by which I sculpt my thoughts and feelings. To inhibit that expression is akin to self-castration.
the segment showing how much money the products cost is underrated... if tiktok is making you feel insecure about how you care for your skin, please just remember that there's a whole industry that stands to profit from you feeling that way.
Yes, it's blatant consumerism
The more insecure we feel the more money they make. Capitalism baybeeee!
Some people do need more skincare products like if you have acne, excema, hyperpigmentation etc as certain products do different things with different things/ingredients but yes a lot of these are excessive and a bit of a waste if you have clear skin already as there more basic options and cheaper products that are effective for different skin. Just a thought.
@@cherxii4781 I have atopic dermatitis and I buy one moisturiser and one ointment that I get in litre-tubs (epaderm if anyone was wondering!), there really is no need to be a tiktok clean girl just because you have a skin condition.
@@4n0mie im not saying be a clean girl, im saying some people need more than one product for their skin. If you have more than one problem, like I did, then one or two products isn't that helpful. Am I saying you need an entire closet of skincare? No, but sometimes you need a couple of products. Imagining having all of the conditions that I listed before all at once. They need different ingredients to treat because they come from different things.
The fact that sneako made a reaction video to this and insulted you means you're definitely doing something right
Any time anyone brings up wrinkles to me, a 19 year old, i just show them my hands and say I'm native. There's no way I'm not wrinkling and frankly age is a wonderful thing, you have so many more stories and lessons to tell. My family has always given the most status and power to the oldest women, and it's a birthright i couldn't imagine being upset about. Perks of a matrilineal society I guess
You know what ages you faster than all those things? Stress and anxiety. Constantly thinking about how everything is causing wrinkles is going to age all these people lmao
Yes!!
THIS^^^ they're likely gonna age more than people who smile every so often lmaooo

Someone said I don’t know how worried this girl is about aging and ranted at me. Dude, she was literally the “I trained my face not to move” girl. I get preventative skin care. I get using sunscreen, because skin cancer is no joke. I also do some of these things, but jesus christ. Aging is a gift not everyone gets. Not to be too dark, but I was so depressed once I didn’t think I’d see 16! I’m about to turn 25, an age I couldn’t even envision. I’m seeing the lines that have come from smiling, laughing, and days in the sun because I’ve lived. I’m blessed to age, and to get to see the physical traits I gained from loving my life!

I remember a time when I thought I wouldn't be here past the age of 16, I'm 24 now and finally feel like I'm able to live my life on my terms. Laugh lines, wrinkles and more are signs that my body is living, of enjoyment and happiness, I want all of that and more.
“aging gracefully” is supposed to mean aging naturally and NOT going out of your way to try to prevent your physical appearance from changing (i.e. “fighting”aging) lol I can’t believe they appropriated a phrase to mean the exact opposite of what it actually means
I want to age however I want
I mean all you need to keep your skin to look young is drink water and moisturize/sunscreen, you don't need all of that extra stuff

@@crimson.1172 yeah, someone needs to tell these influencers that sun damage is one of the primary causes of the face looking aged. Get out of the tanning salon and put on some sunscreen ladies. Your skin will thank you. Really all you need to do is take care of your skin. No need to fuss about botox or laughing or any of that crap
@@crimson.1172 a lot of it is based on genetics and just general life problems.

Haha as someone in the medical field I relate. fr the increased risk of morbidity is what truly terrifies me Tbh i can't point the finger at the tiktok girls much, because I too am psyching myself for something that's going to happen 20-30 yrs from now. I feel like i need to do more yoga, more strength training, eat better. I'm so worried abt the ways my body and mind can get weaker.

@@kaepiper the fear of laugh lines is so strange. Oh no, you’ll have wrinkles that indicate you’ve spent a lifetime laughing and smiling?
I'm a teenager with faint lines of forehead wrinkles due to my over exaggerated facial expressions, yet not once has it crossed my mind that people would go this far to prevent the inevitable or put down others for simply living by their own preferences. smh
To clarify: sleeping on your side or face doesn’t actually necessarily cause wrinkles. It can make them more prominent when you get older but it isn’t important to make them not be there. They don’t cause any significant or even any health problems and your face looks more beautiful when it shows the smiles you’ve had and how good of a life you’ve lived.
a few of the people in these tiktoks mention working in plastic surgery clinics. i'm sure there's no connection between that and their dedication to making young women deeply insecure about their appearance though, must just be a funny coincidence
exactly! I mean why would a plastic surgeon tell the internet ”secrets to avoid aging” ? 😂
My mother-in-law works for a dermatologist. My partner never cared so she never tried. But her youngest boy is so insecure about his face and she is constantly buying products for him to use. He's 14. He shouldn't have to worry about his appearance or how he will look in his 40s. It's wild

Goes to show how awfully those things affect your mind.
i can relate to that, not only my face but especially my hands look way "older" than of people my age. and i already have a lot of wrinkles all over my body because of my skin disease. it's really burdensome most of the time tbh...

Unaware my eyes were hurt, I took them for granted. When they were really ill, I knew it-what could I do? Dusk coming on: like a lamp going black; Morning so dark: like an unpolished mirror. A thousand medicines, myriad formulas, can’t cure it. All that is left is to close my eyes and learn to shake off the dust. Here's a poem for you, maybe it will make you feel better :)
I'm so sorry you had to go through that :( I also have a skin condition, it's weird how it's not something that is talked about and how people treat having smooth, clear skin with no texture or imperfections as something that is your fault somehow.
I saw this quote once and it’s always helped me keep things in perspective when it comes to aging: “growing old is a privilege denied to many” I don’t know who said it, but I think about it often. This world has tried to take me out of it a few times, so I think it’s an honor I’m old enough to get wrinkles in the first place. I wish society didn’t make women hate something that should honestly be seen as an accomplishment.
your quote reminded me of last week when i almost perished in a motorcycle crash i was incredibly lucky because not only did i not fall thus was completely unharmed the damage on both my bike and the other car were also extremely minor (so its not too terribly expensive to fix) anyway value your life because it can be over so quickly and it is so very very precious ^__^ (also i consider wrinkles and scars and so on as BATTLE DAMAGE which makes it sound cooler)

Anti-aging routine - buy products $$$$, no pillow at night, no straws (alternatively, carry anti-wrinkle straw in your purse just in case), limit smiling, always hold phone at face level, wear gloves and face shield in car (if you must go out) Pro-aging routine - watch a funny movie/video every day, have some belly laughs, smile at strangers, enjoy a day at the beach, sleep peacefully
That is actually going to get you high as a kite. I like to say that smiling is my drug of choice - if you smile for 20 minutes str8 it released a chemical in your brain that is akin to a opiate / when you start the smile you don't even have to mean it - but, by the time 20 minutes go by, sure enough you do mean it. By the way, the word 'giddy' is a neurological term... HAVE A GORGEOUS DAY ! 😊

i am absolutely dying at the "skin scare" part. those pictures caught me so off guard.
this scares me bc what are they going to do when they inevitably do show a sign of aging? when you build your whole life around something that WILL happen, you surround yourself with people whose love for you hinges on it and you lose everything when it does.
not to sound corny but my dad died very young. I may get frustrated with wrinkles one day but aging is a privilege he was never afforded. This culure of antiaging can be toxic and I'm so happy you're speaking about it❤
🥰🥰🥰
Many of my partner's family members died before reaching the age of 40, and as a result its hard for them to picture reaching the age of 40. I've had to assure them that we are capable of reaching higher ages and that we will live longer
♡. Aging is natural, I'm glad that you except it! Rip to your dad...
Same, my dad died when he was 42 and it affected my attitude about aging forever
I cried a lot in my 30's, so I value my wrinkles, because every time I see them they remind me of how far I've come. I've earned every single wrinkle and no one can take that from me. Also, grey hair is punk. At this point, considering the messages we're constantly bombarded with, aging openly feels like an act of rebellion. 🤘
the hatred of ageing is genuinely so sad. it is such a beautiful privilege to grow old! every wrinkle is a sign you have emoted, every change is you evolving as a person! not everyone gets the chance to grow old, we should cherish it. we should also not spend our lives punishing ourselves for an unattainable level of ‘health’ that is more based on luck and genetics anyway. eat what you want, do what you want, and enjoy the short time you have on this beautiful planet!
A friend at one point said the wrinkles they hate the most are smile lines. I remember thinking about how odd that was considering that they show how much you’ve smiled, that you’ve had a lot of joy in life.
I still contend we only feel this way because death sucks, and really don't know how to reconcile that.
"Live well and live broadly. You are alive and living now. Today is the envy of the dead"
this is beautiful
You said it perfectly!!!!!
Wrinkles are a reminder that the Earth is pissed that you last this long. Keep on Keeping on!
Omg Chad was giving coraline in the beginning of the video with the yellow jacket such a cutie 😩
I just turned 30 and I work at a university, primarily with freshmen, and last week when I mentioned my birthday they were all shocked at my age and saying I looked “sooooo young”. And I think that’s part of the problem is that society teaches us that 30 is old.
This. New 31 year old here, and I get the same thing.
People act like when women turn 30 they automatically look like the crypt keeper 😑 I’m 27 and there are plenty of women well over 30 who look younger than me!
im not 30 yet lol, not even near it, but I feel like thirty isn't really old, only old compared to a kids age. When I was a bit younger, my mom told me she was in her 30's and I was shocked because she looked like she was in her early 20's. So its just like comparing one age to another I think anyway I don't know how to end this comment and hwhwhsjdjdj
So true! I am 34 and when I meet 20 something at a party and talk to them, they are like 'What? But you look sooooo young'. Guys....I am still young🤣.
What's even more funny is that they say your beauty ends around 25, meanwhile the most beautiful women in the world (not to everyone but there's a reason why this women is talked about today) Marilyn Monroe, died at the age of 36. She was still considered then, and now at that age to be extremely beautiful. I just don't understand how 25 can be seen as old.
Imagine doing all that just to die at 26 after slipping in the bathroom

Those girls end up oily af I believe you.
Don’t stand up. Gravity will pull your face skin down.
When my sibling and i talk about these kinds of things, what we always come back too is, what's the point? What's the long-term goal? At 60 you still look 30, but you have no signs of a life well lived and enjoyed, and you've spent all your time making sure you don't look your age instead of making the most of life. What's the purpose?
I think we should just peel off our skin and hang it to dry, preserving it for decades to come. On special occasions we may wear it to show how little our preserved skin has aged.
I personally like to peel off my skin and pickle it in huge jars to help preserve it I always get so many compliments when I wear it at the office Christmas party 🥰
that is literally a junji ito story. the woman preserves her skin in chemicals, not to appreciate her beautiful skin but her muscles though
From the moment I understood the weakness of my skin, it disgusted me
Shh, don't give them ideas
Ok Cassandra
i don’t understand why people are so scared of ageing and wrinkles. it’s a natural thing and everyone gets it so why should we be ashamed of it?
The same reason why people are afraid of body hair, stretch marks, and fat. If you aren't a rail thin flawless Barbie doll in this world then you're not "beautiful". It's cause society has gaslit us into hating our natural normal bodies.
I srsly dont get it every single person on this earth is going to get wrinkles somewhere on their body in their life these people r just so obsessed with their faces that theyd rather give up their livelihood and be constantly anxious rather than just accept that its just skin 💀
i actually like wrinkles, they’re pretty charming. especially crows feet
they peaked in highschool
Bc it's beautiful to be youthful. Let ppl do what they want

[spongebob narrator voice] ahh...ze radicalizing power of algorithms
We need to apply sunscreen to prevent sunburn but wearing it to prevent wrinkles that are harmless is just bizarre🤣🤣
I understand sunscreen if you live somewhere sunny but.. stupid wrinkles? You know, what you get after living.
Lol, next is "I don't want wrinkles, so I've trained myself not feel emotion and become a sociopath."
I wear sunscreen because I’m super pale and don’t want skin cancer. I wear sunscreen to live longer, not smoother.
I fear the day where I will see hundreds of completely smooth grandmas roaming the streets.
Maybe hundreds of grandma's whose facial muscles got frozen by botox
Haha and trust me you won’t be seeing that egg and liver lady She’s gonna die and she doesn’t know it
That's the thing. You won't. Because you can't stop wrinkles from happening. These people are obsessed with stopping the inevitable, and frankly it's sad.

The thing about skincare is that pretty much none of it has shown any anti aging results when studied clinically. There's one (I forget the name) but it's only at a specific concentration, given by prescription, and only works slightly, on fine lines. Sunscreen and moisturise. That's all you can do
1:46 out of pure curiosity I summed up all the skincare products' prices. it's 610.90$
I am a wrinkly, fat 48 year old person, and I can tell you it's a pretty good life if you have friends and a fulfilling job or hobby. So don't fall for what they are selling you - products or views - and invest your time and money in relationships and learning. Cheers!

A face marked by the many expressions you made throughout your life is infinitly more beautiful than a smooth unmoving botox face. We're humans, no robots.

When Chad Chad rang the doorbell, my dog barked. Unfortunately, this caused premature wrinkles on her furry snout, so I started her on a strict morning, afternoon, and nighttime skincare routine. We've also been working on her face muscle training which has made her look 30 years younger! She's just sperm now because we have been so successful in her anti-aging journey. Thank you for ringing that doorbell, Chad Chad. My dog looks, sounds, and swims younger.

honestly whatever these "anti-aging" people are doing is WAY scarier than the actual process of aging. like teaching yourself to not emote just to avoid wrinkles... they're like one step removed from just putting their brain into a robot shell or something
Right?? That one girl who ate literally only raw foods was extra terrifying, we process and cook things for a mf REASON. Everything she ate is an extreme danger to us when raw and she’s going to get sick eventually
Idk if the TikTok filters/overlays were making it worse or not, but all those women practically looked like robots as it is. They're so obsessive, it's terrifying.
@@froggy5748 you don’t have to worry about her, in america the eggs are treated before they’re sold so that no salmonella can accumulate in them. europe and other places leave them be bc just cooking them does the trick and nobody would think to eat raw eggs anyways. it does bug me tho that she advertises eating raw eggs cause a lot of ppl don’t know it depends on where you live if you can eat them or not
yeah honestly to me it’s treading the line of a mental illness. obsessions like these are cutting way too far into your day to day life and trying to reduce your emotions?? seems very unhealthy

Wrinkles from smiling make people more likable change my mind
If the reason for smiling is fapping to children
the one where she judged a supposed commenter saying that her skincare routine is too hard for them just makes me SO MAD. like istg not everyone is a rich white girl who can afford to "stay young forever". theyre playing right into the beauty industry's hands. all this does is make people afraid of aging.
The kicker is that even after all she puts herself through -- sacrificing her ability to just exist and be human, investing enormous amounts of time and money and mental space -- she's still gonna be a fully old looking lady someday. All of that just to look a _little bit_ younger for a _portion_ of time.
White people age the fastest though. LOL. Jokes on them.
I hated her face tbh
absolutely hate that girl
she definitely has botox though!! she can't not, her lips scream filler. yet she acts like it's all muscle techniques and weird shit lol. it's disturbing actually
Kind of long story about my face wrinkles- I was in my late 20s and I was feeling pretty crappy about all the frown and smile lines I was noticing on my face. I work with disabled adults, and I had a client who was deaf and couldn't speak, but he signed and read lips a little bit. He didn't really take to anyone, but he always seemed to like me most even though I didn't really do anything different than anyone else. I can't sign, but he seemed to understand me when I spoke to him. We had a meeting with him and his mom, and he was signing to her and pointing at me smiling the whole time. Afterwards, she pulled me aside and told me that he was saying that he loved working with me and that I always made his day, because even though he couldn't hear me, my face was so expressive and "loud" that he felt like he could. And that I was the easiest to "talk" to. I had been told my whole life to "fix your face" because I've always been so dramatic with my expressions, and I knew that's why I had the wrinkles I did so young. It made me feel really good that my wrinkles had meant something more, that they meant that I had spent my life expressing my true feelings in every way possible, and that it made life a little more enjoyable for someone else. I love my wrinkles now and every emotion they represent
I needed this comment so much… Thank you for sharing your story. I was also told I was “too expressive” but like you said, I rather be aware I’m being as authentic as possible.
Thats so beautiful
i needed this so much dude, im still young but i have so many wrinkles since im overly expressive but this made my day
This made me feel so much better about how expressive my face is. Thank you so much :)
That is so beautiful. I have been insecure about aging but I realized that it’s scarier for me not being able to emote (whether it’s a preventative measure to avoid wrinkles, or getting Botox).
every time i rewatch this it strengthens my resolve to take care of myself so i can grow old and become what all these people hate. beating my depression and anxiety with pettiness
it’s so sad that so many women find it necessary to go to such extreme lengths. i hate that in our society a woman’s worth is strongly tied to if men find her attractive. i’ve never seen a man post this kind of content and i probably never will
I distinctly remember this being my final nail in the tiktok coffin before I had to put it to rest. There was a video of a woman doing a little dance or something of that nature, and I believe she mentioned her age offhandedly, because it was immediately stitched by a woman of that same age with visibly smoother skin holding up a bottle of sunscreen and not saying anything. It was incredibly condescending. When someone possesses wrinkles and sun damaged skin, it’s just something you have to live with; it must not feel great to have someone go on tangents on how to NOT look like you. I had to challenge my personal grievances about vanity. I enjoy skincare and I wear sunscreen, but it had subtly transformed into a fear of looking “aged”; I don’t even remember when I started believing it was a bad thing or what pushed me to do so. But the flippant nature of the comments on that video made me feel sick with myself.
This is the classic "i would definitely rather be ugly on the outside than ugly on the inside".
I deleted tik tok about a month and a half ago just as this trend was starting I think. Not just because of this trend, but because of it + all the other toxicity on the app. It was also just extremely addicting and I wasn't getting anything done
I just removed it. Saw a woman attacking Jessica Simpson for being too thin, when a what 10, 12 years ago there were headlines of "Jumbo Jessica". I'm exhausted.
@Trinity M thank you for sharing your perspective, this is a great point! This absolutely does need to be spoken about and awareness should be raised. For example, even my melanated ladies can get skin cancer. I’m black myself and have had people shocked that I can get a tan let alone skin cancer. It’s definitely not spoken about within the community. Ngl I was almost happy to get a burn when I went to the Dominican Republic, so I finally understood what the hell my friends were talking about when they got burned after 10mins in the UK summer sun
Holy shit imagine getting to a point in your life where you could be so un self aware to post something that rude
i’m 43, and I absolutely love TikTok and KZhead. I’m a stay at home mom so I am on either platform pretty much all day. Being 43, I can tell you that the amount of emphasis placed on the horrors of aging hurts my heart almost every day. It’s media telling teenagers and 20 somethings “you don’t wanna end up like this!”. Arrow pointing at me. I’ve aged gracefully, but I do have laugh lines on my face, I do have a tummy, I do have stretch marks from my pregnancy with my daughter. And I’ve never really had a problem with them, but the amount of contents that’s been drilling negativity into my head daily is really just telling me that I am a picture of what not to become. And I’m 43! I think I’m pretty.
You are gorgeous !
"Old" is just a mindset. You're 43 years young and beautiful. Your laugh lines are proof of a happy life lived. Imagine how many thousands of times you must have laughed to create those lines. And stretch marks? Who cares! What's some little marks when you think about the miracle of creating a little perfect human? It seems like such a small trade off for creating a whole other wonderful human life rich with all their experiences, thoughts, and emotions. Why should any of those things be demonized? They're proof of a full and joyous life.
You are so right! Just yesterday I read an article about toxic videos on TikTok regarding skincare and dieting/health videos.
You are pretty
Just delete tiktok. I did as well and it's been no loss. It's shocking, the way tiktok sucks one in, mindlessly scrolling while completely forgetting time. I actually feel my mental health improved after no longer using that mind rotting app.
YOU ARE HILARIOUS!!! You're my current favorite commentary youtuber. (Also, I had to mention this and I'm sorry if it sounds weird but your outfit in this video is SO CUTE!)
I feel like the stress and anxiety that they provoke from telling you to have a 2483832 step skincare, sleeping in certain ways, not going out, not laughing or having emotions is worse than aging
As a physics major I love the implication that gravity just stops affecting your face when you lay on your back.
It's like a bear, the gravity won't see you if you lie flat?! ...(I might be wrong about bears)
Quick, tell all your friends. That TikTok person just figured out how to defy gravity, and the solution was so simple it was overlooked. I hope someone has sent it to the Nobel committee.
As a normal person without a physics degree i find it equally amusing
No, no, you have to pull your sheets over your face so it can’t see you. That’s how it works.
FUN FACT: The raw egg thing is NOT meant to be eaten raw in the US. In places where eating raw eggs is a common thing , for example, Japan, they have to go through extensive cleaning and bacteria checks to make sure they are safe to consume raw. The US does not eat raw eggs as a common thing so they do not go through this
Also, not cooking your eggs actually makes it harder for your body to absorb the nutrients in them bc the proteins aren’t broken down- you absorb 90% of the protein of cooked eggs, and only 50% of the protein of raw eggs.
Conversely in the UK eggs go through basically absolutely no cleaning at all, to the point where I'd routinely get eggs with little feathers still stuck to them; this is because they come with a waxy coating that seals the egg and almost entirely stops bacteria getting in, wash the egg and you wash this coating off letting bacteria in. The idea is to ensure the chickens are free from disease before the eggs are laid and regular testing of chickens and eggs makes sure of this; in general a healthy chicken lays disease free eggs. The other upside of this is it means conditions for chickens are generally better since battery farming is perfect for breeding disease and it becomes cheaper to just treat the chickens better than to constantly deal with disease.
@@jon2922wdym are there special wax producing uk chickens
@@fighterflight when an egg is laid it has a wax-like coating on the shell, it's semi-permiable which means it doesn't completely seal the egg but it does significantly stop bacteria getting through the shell. In the US it's standard practice to wash eggs before sale which removes this coating and lets the bacteria in; in places like the UK they aren't washed so they never lose that natural protection and can be stored without refrigeration.
@@fighterflight All eggs have this layer, the US just washes it off. Also, something they missed was that eggs last longer when they haven’t had the protective layer washed off and can be kept in the larder instead of the fridge
Not smiling will actually tell your brain (even unconsciously) to not be happy, after some time you’ll find yourself into issues like depression - suicidal thoughts - weak social relationships …etc
Oh, I might have issues then
so does that mean smiling more in general will tell my brain to be happier? 👀

Just in case anyone here is worried about their own skin: No one notices what you notice. No one notices your wrinkles, or your pores, or your blackheads. I sincerely promise. When you look into the mirror, you see all the tiny flaws of yourself that you don't like. When others see you, they see you as a total and complete person. They're not picking you apart like you do to yourself-- they notice your features, not your flaws!
Thank you
Yep! And if they are the type to notice & point it out, they aren't worth your time 💖🙂
I mean, I notice. But I sure as hell ain't gonna go pointing it out because it isn't any of my business and if someone is happy with the way they look, then great. I'm not going to try to ruin it for them. And I don't think any less of them for having an "imperfect" face. That's just their face. I judge people by who they are, not what they look like.
