Another How Old Do I Look?

Jumping on this bandwagon because I’ve been considering botox for my forehead. I feel like the last 5 years have added about 15 years to my face - thanks kids!

Genuinely don’t mind if you say 20 or 80, just need some perspective before I start really looking into it.

Early 30s. If it helps, I don't like the lines on my forehead either and considering botox but because of this, I've noticed them on pretty much everyone my age that i speak to. It's not 'ugly,' it's just normal.

Why would anyone put their photo on Mumsnet? Cringe.

I agree. It’s most odd. Is it fishing for (disingenuous) compliments?

AllOfThemWitches · 10/08/2023 11:27

If you were fishing for compliments, you would not come to mumsnet 😆😆

Sometimes it’s a photo of someone they know and they post it up hoping to get nasty comments - that’s what I’ve read anyway

That’s awful 😢

We should do it like Reddit where posters must hold a piece of paper with their username written on it

ChristmasCrumpet · 10/08/2023 12:58

@WrinklyOldCow are you actually going to state your age, after 7 pages now?

Mutabiliss · 10/08/2023 13:09

I reckon 32-ish. You have very slight lines on your forehead, that's because you have human skin which moves. Botoxing them away doesn't make you look younger, it just makes your skin flat and your face a bit odd-looking (especially when you've been having it a while and it's started to change your eyebrows).

If you can see the lines when you use foundation, use less foundation or change to something lighter. I used to use a matte foundation in my 20s because I was very oily, now my skin is drier and I look better with something a bit more dewy. Try applying using a damp beauty blender or a good quality brush rather than fingers, if you're not already.

A lot of the aging process that shows isn't in lines - it's in skin texture, jowls developing, fat loss, thinning lips. Once you start trying to 'fix' aging, you start thinking you need more and more tweaks.

  1. You have some lines around your eyes but generally look bouncy and young still.

Hahaha! Was just thinking if I've got any contacts at NASA...

@Backstreets

ssk if they'll let you bring a friend?! Pleeeease!!

mealdeal20 · 10/08/2023 18:44

You look early 30's.
Botox will smooth any forehead wrinkles if you wish. But I don't think you need it yet. Use a tinted moisturiser all over your face and then the matching foundation just across the nose /cheeks where you want more coverage and you'll notice a huge difference . You look great.

How old are you?

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 10/08/2023 19:02

27 ish but you don't have lines so no need for Botox.

mrssanchez · 10/08/2023 10:54

You look about the same age as me and a lot of my friends, so I'd say mid 40s. You don't need Botox imo.

Really? I'm 37 and she looks younger than all my friends. Maybe we've not aged well! I'd guess 31, 32. Is the OP coming back?

peoplearepeople · 10/08/2023 19:19

I think early to mid 30's. In 2 of the pictures you are doing that thing where you are biting your tongue slightly when smiling. I've only ever noticed this being a thing with people around that age. 😁
You really don't need botox on your forehead or anywhere else. You look just lovely as you are.

Not a visible line on your face so not sure why you see the need for Botox.
What do you think your face should look like?

24?! Be serious right now

MansfieldLark · 10/08/2023 20:26
