Benefit erase paste works wonders (touche eclat is for whipper snappers)

Fullmoonfiend · 01/05/2008 18:33

SEA - why does that happen? Just started to notice i have huge pores and I'm quite upset.

zippitippitoes · 01/05/2008 18:35

well ages ago but now i realise i was wrong as it just gewts worse

i cant bear to look in the mirror now i look awful

Pavlovthecat · 01/05/2008 18:37

It happened quite recently actually, about 3 weeks ago, I realised for the first time I was no longer looking youthful.

Fullmoonfiend · 01/05/2008 18:38

zippi, you know that's not true...you are a fine-lookin' woman - with a toy boy to boot!

Pavlovthecat · 01/05/2008 18:38

am 30, almost 31.

Also had a rough year.

Was hideously smug at 40 that I was fit and felt better than I had in years, then suddenly in the last year everything has just flopped, sagged, and given up the ghost. I eat half what I used to, yet have doubled in size, and am knackered.

DontCallMeBaby · 01/05/2008 18:44

In the last year or two, I guess - I'll be 36 a week today (argh, don't want to be, ). I always thought it'd be okay, that ageing would just be a case of superficial lines appearing on the face I'd always had. I didn't know about the sagging.

FrannyandZooey · 01/05/2008 18:46

about 31
it just happened again though this year - (36) - like "shit now i REALLY look old"
ah who cares

Mercy · 01/05/2008 18:48

For me it was 39/40 (when I was expecting and then had ds)

I have aged even more noticeably in the last year and a half. A combination of the menopause, a sudden outbreak of grey hair and my unhealthy lifestyle taking its toll I believe.

And to think that even in my 30s I was slightly embarrased about how young I looked (if I could post photos you'd see what I mean)

ahundredtimes · 01/05/2008 18:48

Oh well I think I must have stood in dark rooms to look in the mirror for ages because it's only happened recently. Well over the last year I suppose, so 38 probably.

PrincessPeaHead · 01/05/2008 18:50

38

VanillaPumpkin · 01/05/2008 18:54

31 . I don't have wrinkles but def know I need make up every day now.

geekgirl · 01/05/2008 18:57

31

Titter · 01/05/2008 18:57

35

a few months after having ds1

no coincidence

Fullmoonfiend · 01/05/2008 18:57

erm, a ''friend'' told me that she's stopped going on top as, never mind the boobs, she could feel her face sagging when she leaned forward

FrannyandZooey · 01/05/2008 19:03

don't lean forward
lean back
marvellous
(a friend told me)

zippitippitoes · 01/05/2008 19:06

fmf thats right that is my problem

TsarChasm · 01/05/2008 20:43

Go everywhere with a torch shining under you chin and stand with your back to windows.

Remotew · 01/05/2008 20:51

45 honestly. It all started sagging, body and face. Its not the wrinkles that bother me its the sagging. Still I suppose I had a reasonable run

berolina · 01/05/2008 20:52

Recently. I am 31.

quickdrawmcgraw · 01/05/2008 20:54

33
I was pretty smug about having no wrinkles and no grey hair when I caught sight of myself in a car mirror and I got an awful fright. Maybe I thought i'd no grey hairs becuase I'd never looked. Now it's obsession to go and tug the little fekkers out.

Oliveoil · 01/05/2008 20:54

I have noticed wrinkles recently but I am not too arsed tbh about looks, I refuse to pander to this youth obsession (anyway dh says I look like Liz Hurley
