So I hit 40 last year and I feel like my face is ageing rapidly- and not in the way I’d assumed. I’d had some lines around the eyes which I was fine with (not thrilled that it’s only on one eye but I can live with that). What I’m struggling to accept (and I know I need to accept this) is the sag around my lower face. I would say my jaw line is ok it’s more like a sag on either side of my mouth. I’d be ok with laughter lines- I’ve earned them- I’ve laughed my way through life. But the sag is just getting me down. I know this is pathetic but I’m struggling with it. I know I need to get a grip because let’s face it it’s only going to get worse. But I just wasn’t expecting to feel this way. I want to embrace it. I’m not particularly vain so am surprised to be feeling this.
So I guess what I’m asking is... do you ever learn to accept your face ageing?
