Help...I suddenly look so old

Hi ..mid 50s here and always proud to look many years younger.
Since lockdown though I feel like my face has aged massively and is getting worse, to the point where i feel like i look ancient overnight.
I feel so sad, I'm used to being considered younger than I am but now I'm mistaken for being much older..a colleague recently thought I was 60!!!
I know many may feel like I'm being shallow but this does affect me.
No wrinkles as such but major jowls and marionettes...saggy eyes too.
What can I do?

Oh p.s gp won't give me hrt as I don't get hot flushes

I've started doing a bit of face yoga, via Youtube, as I seem to have developed a bit of turkey neck.
Do you drink much water? I don't drink enough, but it's meant to be good for skin, etc.
I have CACI facials focussed on the eye area, which I think has helped. I also do facial massage in the shower when using facewash, which seems to do some drainage of fluid.
I still catch sight of myself sometimes, and think, bleddy hell, when did I get old?! I sympathise.
