How old do you think I look?

CostaBlancaChica · 01/09/2021 20:11

I live abroad and have aged a bit over the last two/three years. Always looked really young for my age when I lived in the U.K., but have started to notice how I'm ageing a lot more around my eyes and 11 lines. DP thinks I have dysmorphia and it's all in my mind. I feel like I'm ready for a bit of Botox, as I've been feeling a lot less confident about my appearance. To settle the argument, please tell me how old you think I am. Both pics are without filter and one with just mascara, a bit of concealer to hide the dark shadows and eyebrow pencil. The bathroom one is before I had a shower, with just eyebrow pencil.

I thought 43 and I was right! But, I don't know what you're worried about! You have such clear skin, sparkly eyes, amazing jaw line! I think you can tell in the pictures that you're not smiling fully, and maybe if you did or someone got a candid of you laughing you'd still look amazing! !maybe even more so. If you don't mind me asking, who is in the first picture (cropped out) with you?

I've seen your age before I could guess and think you look like your age. Your have lovely skin and personally I wouldn't have botox if I were you. I say the same age because my Friends are all slightly older but look good too.

Oblahdeeoblahdoe · 01/09/2021 22:34

I was going to say 40 to 42. I can't see where you would have botox and your skin is gorgeous!

feelingfree17 · 01/09/2021 22:34

I was going to say 37, but have just read your age. You have a beautiful face with lovely skin.

Egghead68 · 01/09/2021 22:34

Oh - I said that without rtt and I see it was right too!

RubySlippers123 · 01/09/2021 22:35

Early 40's
Don't beed botox.

PlateSpinnerJuggler · 01/09/2021 22:35

I've read the posts so I know your age - but you look fab - I don't see any need for Botox - you really look great - I'm similar age - try get your confidence back another way - you don't need cosmetic procedures - your skin is amazing - and yes we all get older but try embrace it

Redsquirrel5 · 01/09/2021 22:35

I thought 40 perhaps. Please don’t go for Botox it looks awful and you don’t need it.

My niece gave me some Liz Earle products I love them the wash is the best I have ever used and you could feel it lift the grime of an inner city school day and leave you feeling fresh and rejuvenated so I recommend the cleansing routine to you. A little goes a long way.

beeloubee · 01/09/2021 22:35

38 but your skin looks glowing and wrinkle free. You look great x

TatianaBis · 01/09/2021 22:36

Old enough to know better.

Maskless · 01/09/2021 22:39

You look 44.

And you are absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I would swap bodies/faces with you any day.

Don't have Botox. Be your lovely self, be proud.

teaandcrumpets35 · 01/09/2021 22:39

I would have said 37 but I see from your update that you are 43. You look bloody fabulous. The issue with these sort of threads is that some people are just mean for the sake of being mean and will come here with ridiculous and disparaging remarks/guesses just to try and make you feel bad.

You are very beautiful IMO and don't need any work.

thegreylady · 01/09/2021 22:40

My dd is 47 and you look a similar age.

Guessing you look a bit pinched, Tatiana.

Why the need to be nasty to a (beautiful) stranger with self-confidence issues?

PyongyangKipperbang · 01/09/2021 22:43

I guessed early 40's from your first pic and I am about right it seems.

Dont bother with Botox. My sister is two years older than you and (by her own admission) looked worse after Botox than she did before it.

Ageing naturally is the new Cosmetic Surgery, so get on trend and accept how you look. I am 48 btw and wasted waaay too much time caring how I looked. I have a belly that looks like a bowl of porridge, saggy legs, no bum and pink hair. Take it or leave it!

I wouldnt say that your DP is right in his diagnosis but I do think that you are focussing on your own percieved negatives. You have good skin, very few wrinkles and are very attractive. Focus on that instead.

thecatsabsentcojones · 01/09/2021 22:46

So you’re 43, you look lovely, absolutely no need for any work at all. Enjoy what you have.

Christ us women are so bloody hard on ourselves.

Naillig222 · 01/09/2021 22:46

I was going to say 42 and would have thought you'd had botox already.

Ellarain · 01/09/2021 22:47

47

Eh? Nothing nasty about that. It was a wry comment.

Rather ironic coming from someone insulting my appearance.

Anyone over 17 should know better than to ask the internet for comments on their appearance.

Explosivefarts · 01/09/2021 22:52

I guessed a few years older than you are. Either way you look fab and don’t need to change .

jozipozi31 · 01/09/2021 22:52

43? You should be happy and feel lucky. You look v good for that.

Beautiful3 · 01/09/2021 22:56

44

spaceghetto · 01/09/2021 23:00

You look great!
