Youre young.

Don't give into societal pressures.

Do something that makes you feel beautiful.

Do something that makes you feel proud.

We ALL get old. We are ALL worth more than our looks and youth.

Nah, you can continue to look good with age if you make the effort. Not even having stuff done, just hair and makeup and clothing. Loads of foxes in their 50s and above!

It is a bit of a shock to the system when you start seeing wrinkles and lines but if you look around you'll probably know people your age that look much older too.

I just feel lucky to have made it this far tbh (thirties), lots of people don't have the privilege. Looking a bit different and ageing is a gift not given to everyone.

OP, you are still so young!! Smile

Remember that ageing is a privilege. And if the new additions to your face bother you so much, there is always tretonin and botox.

I am 31 and am more attractive now than I was in my 20s. My bottom and hips are slightly bigger, but you can't have everything Grin

Look after your skin, spf 50. I’m in my forties and don’t have lines - yet! But I feel them coming lol. Lots of water, eat well, exercise, dress well.

Getting older is a privilege! Embrace it or if you are unhappy there are other things you can consider- fillers etc. Gosh at 31 I still looked fresh as a daisy! You are so young!

It's really tough isn't it op?! I felt young still in my early 30's and no different to in my 20s! Then dc's came along (still felt young after dc1 but after dc2 I felt ancient, and like id been ran over by a truck! With sleep deprivation, high needs babies, covid etc, years of my 30's just blasted by in what felt like an instant. I literally have little memory of where they went!

I'm now slowly emerging from the fog on the wrong side of 35 with a 5yr old and a toddler and thinking what happened to this time?! i sprouted my first white hair followed by another couple which I'm putting down to stress (and subsequent pigment loss rather than old age 🤣)Bi'm convinced the colour will come back and turning to root spray in the mean time 😂! Both of my parents didnt go gray until well into their 50s. I can only think they had an easier life back then with a lot less stress!

There is one thing for sure I'm going to breath in the rest of this decade and enjoy the age I'm at as it'll only get harder in 40's, 50's etc! We will look back at photos of now andthink how young we looked! You'll never be as young as you are right now, embrace it and remember that!
