Beauty Tips For Body Care
I am turning 24 at the end of the year, and tbh it is kinda freaking me out (cuz I will be in my "mid 20s" instead of my "early 20s", and with that comes all these expectations from society and family such as marriage, career stability, acting mature, etc. even though I still feel 19).And I am not gonna lie...I think coming on this sub has made me feel worse about getting older (regarding my looks). Before coming on here, I thought people looked pretty much the same throughout the entire decade (seriously...none of the people I know between the ages of 27-29 look any "older" or "less fresh" than the 21-23 year olds I know, assuming they took care of themselves).But then I come on here and see people saying things like, "Oh you are 26? Yep you are at the perfect age to get botox/fillers for your wrinkles from aging!!!" I mean wtf??? 26 is so young!!! And it really makes me sad when I see these comments in response to young women who are noticing slight lines in their mid-20s. To be fair, I have had slight smile wrinkles since I was a teen. I have a friend who just turned 21 and has slight crow's feet. Why are such lines treated as "expression lines" in that age, but age "aging lines" only 3 or so years later? Like a 21 year old complaining about wrinkles will get very different advice than a 24 year old will, even though both are so young. I mean I know there is all this scientific research about collagen levels dropping in your 20s or whatever, but for some reason it still makes me sad to see this stuff...I know none of us are gonna look 20 forever, but it is just so...off-putting to see women in their mid-late 20s getting advice to treat their "aging" skin. And I...really do not want to have to worry about getting botox and fillers and all these expensive anti-aging derm treatments while I am only in my mid-20s, because I feel like that is so young (although I know there are many that do wanna do this, in that case more power to you!)! Idk where I am going with this; maybe my post makes me sound like a naive 10 year old, but I just wanted to get this off my chest. I think I just wanted to post this too cuz I wanted to see if anyone else feels like this? I have no clue if I am making sense lol.
