I'm 35 this year and starting to see aging...

[Mintoi]

Anyone else around 35 and want to commiserate I'm the noticeable signs of aging you're experiencing..

For me it's crows feet beginning to form round my eyes, grey hairs poking through and feeling tired (probably doesn't help I have a 5 year old and 1 year old)

Anyone else?

35 is the age it starts happening i’m afraid. By 50 you can’t see the lines as your eyesight left five years ago and you no longer care about the lines as your worried about your teeth.

sorry. Ageing is shit.

For me it’s when I get injured in any way, it takes what feels like forever to get back to normal.

Aging is a privilege, the alternative is death.

I’m 34 and feel a bit self conscious that I’m slowly starting to age a bit.

I don’t have any crows feet, no major wrinkles - a couple on my forehead that I’m considering having Botox to get rid of before they get any worse - but I’m convinced my face has started to change shape a bit.

There’s no grey hairs and my body is the same but I’m making a conscious effort to look after myself to keep any ageing as slow as possible.

I'm 54 and this post made me laugh! Sorry OP, it's a gradual change from here on.
On the plus side I'm much happier in my 50's 😁

yeah when I look in the mirror now with my glasses on, I scare myself! Massive pores, sagging jowls, hairy chin🙄

One benefit is the black hair that's been growing from my chin since I was 20 has now turned white so you can't see it!

Im 35, have had grey hairs since I had my eldest 10 years ago. You get used to it 😆 I’ve already decided to embrace the grey because I think dyeing can be more ageing than grey. For me it’s the texture of the greys! Wiry grey frizz isn’t great.

My skin only looks good (texture wise - still got spots and under the skin bumps like a teen, great!) if I cut out sugar. I think if you have grey hair but great skin then it’s not ageing. But part of my ageing process seems to be accepting that life I short and maybe I should just not cut out sugar because what is that life. And not really giving a shit how I look 😆

I love a bit of face yoga if I remember before I fall asleep in the evening though!

This is true!

This made me laugh because, at sixty, I still have very little grey hair in general and the hairs (plural) that seem to multiply on my chin are nearly all dark with the occasional white whisker to add to the fun. My tweezers have to work overtime to keep up. The one advantage is that unwanted hair from other parts of the body seem to vanish. I very rarely need to shave my legs or under my arms these days.

oh god I hate putting my glasses on to have a ‘proper look’. I honestly would rather stick a pin in my eye than do that.

That’s true. My legs used to be really hairy. Nowadays I might shave them once every two weeks.

I’m 32. The grey hairs don’t bother me so much as I have been going grey since my mid 20s but I am starting to feel that I look a bit haggard, particularly if I haven’t slept well. What helps me is a proper skincare routine and making sure you continue to dress fashionably in an age appropriate way. I have work colleagues a year or two older than me who look much older because their clothes are middle aged and they don’t wear any make up etc.

This 💔
Lost too many friends in their 40's.
I'm not going to obsess over looking 20 something in my middle age!

I'm 38 and have dark hair so increasing greys (whites) are very noticeable!

I feel and see the difference myself wrinkle-wise, but no one else is noticing yet.

Hi, I'm 34 and can see the wrinkles slowly creeping in. I've started making more effort with skincare, using tretinoin cream and wearing spf every day. I do feel it has made a difference.

I've always suffered with facial hair but have definitely noticed more rapid growth. Instead of irregular threading I bought myself a really good epilator with an extension particularly for facial hair - total life saver and way cheaper overall than going to beautician.

It's possible its partly down to the 2 kids not just the age- my partner has gone grey since having our 2 and he's only 32! We've both aged a million years since having our babies but wouldn't change it or us for the world.

I get the feeling this thread is no doubt going to be the funniest of the day.

"Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not
understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded.
But trust me, in 20 years you'll look back at photos of yourself and
recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before
you and how fabulous you really looked….You're not as fat as you
imagine."

What matters is your health.

Have lost friends too soon, one from from breast cancer and one from ovarian cancer.

I’m 51. During my 40s I ran a half marathon & now I’m weightlifting 3 times a week. I’m stronger, healthier & far happier than I was in my 30s.

Drink a lot of water, eat healthily & take up weightlifting & cardio if you haven’t already. Bollocks to Botox & that stuff.

This 100%.

OP, when you've been diagnosed with your 4th cancer, starting at aged 38, you will not give a shit about any lines or wrinkles. Instead, you will consider the ageing process to be an absolute privilege.

Lost too many people, hear about too many people dying too early.
Each year is a privilege, they are lying under the ground cold, some far too young.
We are just lucky to be here. Anyway 35 is very young still. And remember.. we're all going through it together!

Looking outwards towards others makes you young; looking inwards and examining small flaws makes you boring!!

We all just have to take the effects of aging on the chin - or be miserable.

Brilliant responses on this thread 🤣
