My fears about old age 1) having teath pulled for dentures 2) Chronic pain 3) Abusive nursing home 4) Lack of mobility 5) Adult diapers My face doesn't make the list.
Yes, all the fillers & plastic surgery in the world cannot stop internal aging of joints, muscles, & connective tissue. Only healthy lifestyle (good food, exercise) can stave off symptoms of aging, & it gets us all, regardless of how our outer shell looks.
And the risk for many of these things can be diminished with a healthy lifestyle, and having good muscle mass throughout your life (weight lifting!). It keeps you functional at an old age.
I get lip fillers for some asymmetry because I ripped half my top lip off wrecking my bike when I was a kid. It's definitely tempting to get more but seeing women get carried away like that keeps me soooo grounded. And my injector was very conservative about it. I'd asked him about filler for hollowness/circles under my eyes and he told me "fillers and topicals wont fix the dark circles. You have large eye sockets and the darkness is the shadow from inside your skull". HE BLEW MY MIND. I'd spent years on eye creams thinking i was tired and it was my anatomy. Props to that doctor for actually being honest and not filling my head with bullsht.
Yes! Definitely if you get injections, go to the right place that you trust! I have a missing front tooth so I got some lip filled for asymmetry, and they were so focused on natural and minimal. They refuse requests constantly apparently
I think yours is the one very reasonable and understandable exception regarding getting fillers. For accident victims, fillers can be life changing and I’m glad you have that available to you. But barring an accident, I’m so against fillers. All these people getting fillers to look younger is tragic.
Filler is correctly used for medical purposes such as yours or folks whose muscle tends to jerk unwantedly. Although adults are free to do what they want I do think excessive Botox for non medical reasons are a little eh, they do age you 😅
@@xdani_thethinkingneko I feel that tho! I've even seen some makeup trends leaning towards the dark circle look 🤣 after the doctor explained to me why I had the circles I just did a full 180 and watched some Tim Burton movies and me and the raccoon eyes are homies now
@@A---BMaitriSarkarI know right how sad is that but I think it’s because we live in such a sick degenerate materialistic society obsessed with looks and I’m so sick of it. I’m glad I’ve never been sucked in by any of it and have always stayed grounded and natural. Even with makeup which I wear and have no problem with but if you look like a completely different person with it off than you are doing way too much. It’s supposed to just enhance your natural features. It’s insane today
@@ninairish763 my mom is 54 and she still gets mistaken for a 30 year old she is SUPER against plastic surgery the thought of botox scares her which honestly scares me to. I dont want my face PARALYZED thats terrifying
@@Crabernacker I’m exactly the same way. I’m 39 and people always tell me I don’t look my age or don’t believe me ha! I wear a little make up but that’s it I’ve never dyed my hair nothing.
I used to think I wanted a nose job, but now that I am 26 and my brain is more developed, I'm really having a different perspective on appreciating my looks.
I’m 31 and I used to want a boob job because I was “flat chested” but I started lifting weights and now I have the size I wanted and got there at like 29. Everyone grows into their bodies and everyone should love what they’re born with. I’m glad you love your nose now.
Same! I’m about to turn 26 next week. I’ve been struggling with body image/insecurities about my looks+aging but I’ve started to appreciate my unique features lately! Same with aging, I’m starting to appreciate that I’m becoming a woman and not a young teen/adult anymore.
That woman promoting Botox at 19 looks horrible. She’s only promoting it yes because of money but also she knows she’ll have longer customers most doctors do this.😊
I agree all the above ages people. But also the majority of white British people are type 1 on the Fitzpatrick scale so not wearing sunscreen and purposefully trying to tan is going to age them faster as well. In fact it think sun exposure is the no.1 cause of premature skin aging.
@@FP65 young people yet to understand that plastic surgery is not a cure all for accumulated lifestyle caused damage. Actually with health conscious lifestyle you can stay good looking longer and not needing plastic surgery at all... maybe above 50/60...if you really want to...
A child getting Botox! Call cps And these dating show contestants all look like they’re my age or older and I’m 34. I’m always shocked they’re still in their early 20s. The pressure to look like handsome Squidward is sad.
I'm over 50 and there's no way I'm wasting money on that crap. I'd rather spend my money on fun stuff. I don't care if I look old. I'm on this planet to have fun. Great video, btw.
It's all about budgeting & priorities. I'd much rather spend money on skincare & injectables. Traveling doesn't interest me at all anymore because flying isn't fun & most people are a$sholes.
I want to push back on one of your points: women and girls that have had nothing done are absolutely NOT the minority. We are the overwhelming majority. It's just that those with money and influence can afford these procedures and they are often the people that step into the limelight.
I am so glad you didn't shave your jaw. Your face shape is so rare and unique it makes you look ethereal in my opinion. Those previous pics of you with colored hair you look so otherworldly. Photographers opinion those pics were beautiful. Everyone has opinion but kind people don't make people feel badly about themselves.
I wanted to come on here to say the same things! The way your nose, your jaw, your lips, your brow sits are a beautiful show of your genetic heritage !
Ethereal? She's a pretty woman,but she has strong features. Which based on the definition of the word, is inaccurate. Someone with ethereal beauty, typically has light and delicate features, which she has the opposite of. I feel like statuesque, is a better way to describe her. She reminds me of Greco-Roman statues.
I was told since I was eight years old that I would get a nose job for my 16th birthday from my mother and then she never got it for me. She, I always grew up with such a toxic sense of beauty and now at 29 She admitted to me that she was always jealous and she wanted to be me. Be careful ladies don’t want anyone tell you you’re not beautiful just the way you are, I would’ve spent money on all the procedures had it. I’m grateful I didn’t.
oh my god that is so terrible. so good you realised it before having things done, but no one should have a parent say such things to them... all power and strength to you
Narcissist mothers. The term might be overused but so many women have gone through it. It can be healing to share experiences with others who have been through it
Oof, I'm so sorry. The beauty industry has impacted so many people. I remember that my mom was always on some diet. I wish all bodies were celebrated at a younger age. At least I get to live this today and hopefully inspire others to be proud of who you are no matter the beauty standard of the time.
I heard a plastic surgeon say you should wait until you are 60 to get fillers and honestly makes sense. All the 50 year olds that I know look so young. They could easily pass for being in their 40s. You should absolutely wait until you actually need fillers.
So true, most of the 50 year olds I know really look young as well. Though I disagree with fillers and plastic surgery for cosmetic purposes I get why they said 60 instead. Lord Jesus is coming to judge this world. Please remember that Remarriage while your first spouse is still alive is adultery and one must repent from it. Either remain single or reconcile. Be careful not to use God's Name in vain, Holy ****, Jesus Christ, jeez/sheesh, OMG, oml are also blasphemous uses of God's Name! Exodus 20:7 forbids it. Lord Jesus Christ is coming back everyone, please don’t worship celebrities and entertainment, focus on Him alone. I promise there’s more to life than money, partying, homosexuality and music. Hell is real, repent from sinning confess your sins and ask God to forgive you, I know He will if you’re sincere. Hell is very hot, people please repent! In the mighty name of Lord Jesus Christ, Amen 🙏💪✝️💜❤️✝️! Idolatry such as, Islam, Catholicism, Sangomaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Racism, Santa Clausism, Confucianism, New Age, Science, Evolution, halloweenism, Harry Potterism, Politics, Donald Trumpism, Easter Bunnyism and other religions/faiths that are outside Biblical Christianity lead to hell! Don’t believe them, believe the Almighty God the Father of Lord Jesus Christ, who begot Him. Our Creator, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is mighty, He doesn’t need a woman to beget a son, He is God. I choose to put my faith in a God who can do anything and everything, a God who has unlimited and infinite power to beget! So, it’s time to confess that Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord and to believe that He died and rose from the grave after three days and you shall be saved if you only obey Him by praying, worshipping, praising, reading the Bible and living holy and righteously according to the Bible. You have to endure until the end, carry your cross daily and build your relationship with God by following Lord Jesus daily until the end. You must never renounce your faith in The Lord Jesus Christ, there’s hell awaiting those who reject/deny Lord Jesus Christ and those who continue living sinfully, even the Christians who don’t want to repent will face the same fate, so please repent beloved people, in Lord Jesus Christ’s mighty and precious Name, Amen.
yes it's the excessive lip filler giving them deepened nasolabial folds, but it's DEFINITELY also the makeup. Those eyebrows are not doing any favours for them, the heavy lash extensions too. Their faces become too severe.
Putting Botox into an 8-year-old’s face should be considered child abuse. Who does this woman think she is? Is she even a doctor to be doing this herself? How the hell did they do a whole news piece on it instead of locking her up and remove that child from her “care”?
*Really, child pageants should be considered child abuse. It's insane that this little girl thinks she's looking old because of the child pageant situation*
Absolutely insane that people would mock your jawline, there are models who are famous for having stronger jaws!! It's a notoriously beautiful and unique feature.
When I was in middle school, there was a boy who would bully me because I was pretty tomboyish. I also have a strong jawline and I gotta be honest, I didn’t have the best hairstyle to flatter it. He would constantly tell me that I looked like a boy and that I was ugly. At the time I believed him because I wanted to look like a girl. I’m 25 now and I have a better hairstyle and have found a comfortable style of clothes. When I was 20, during the pandemic, the same guy DMed me on IG and flirted with me. I went ahead and asked him how he was doing and he was confused because he didn’t recognize me. I told him who I was and he immediately stopped DMing me 😂
Laugh lines are such a gift and I’m glad she said that💕💕 I’m only 28 and I just got my first gray hair! As someone who was suicidal when I was younger, I never thought i would get to see myself with them so I was so excited! I named her Martha~
Glad you’re here with us, bestie. :’) I’m 29 and have a few grey hairs already. I get excited when I spot them while brushing my hair. Now I guess I just gotta name them. 😂🖤
that's a great way of thinking about them, i've had a few gray hairs since i was 14 (i'm 16 now) and it's always bothered me. i should start naming them now!
I have struggled with suicidal thoughts and actions for half of my life now (I’m 24) and I can’t wait to get wrinkles and gray hair - because it means that I am (hopefully) happier and I’ve survived my mental illnesses
@@IL-cd6qs I have had pimples since I was 12 now I am 38 and hate it, but as dr pimple popper said "be greatful that your body still has those hormones" 😂😂😂 kinda changed my perspective
I'm 42 and it's almost offensive if people say these women look my age. I'm sorry- they don't look like they are 40- they look like someone who got their face botched. BTW it also doesn't look good if you're older. Use sunscreen, moisturizer and don't drink or smoke and you will look way younger without having to blow-up or freeze your face.
I think people confuse botched with older because before older people use to get botox and fillers more often and get botched, but now 20 yesrs old with botox looks the same strange face that 40 years old with botox
@@TheCata21 exactly- that's what I meant. They don't have the signs of a natural aging face like wrinkles, age-spots, or sagging. They look older because we connect filler and botox with someone older who gets these procedures because they have sign of aging. If you do them on a young face it ages you. It's sad that these young women felt the need to do this to themselves. But nowadays people get hate no matter what they do.
@@PaulaOx nah. Her face just looks off. I think part of it is her nose job. The bridge of her nose is too high and narrow. The rest of her facial features are more soft. It looks really mismatched.
I remember about seven years ago, i was 26. I went with my friend to keep her company for her breast augmentation and the doctor tried to twll me i needed filler under my eyes 🙂. I dont know if people know this but its normal to lose a little volume under your eyes in your twenties and 30's. Youre supposed to. We're not supposed to have our 16 year old baby faces forever. We're supposed to transition into a more mature looking face at some point. Also some people just naturally dont have a lot of volume under their eyes, some people have naturally nore hollow under eyes, thats just our face and we shouldn't be made to feel like something is wrong with us. Anyway im all for agung naturally, my health and mobility is more important and who knows if all those fillers could be making people sick long term. If someone thinks im ugly oh well. Id rather be ugly and healthy.
Ugh. So rude to tell you that you should get a procedure when you weren't there to be a patient to begin with. Who asked??! Also, I've seen videos posted by plastic surgeons, explaining why they no longer give anyone under eye fillers. I thought about getting it for myself until I watched those. Like you said: it's better to be healthy.
@@stephstevens2 oh yeah! I saw those videos too of some surgeons refusing to do them now because of the risk of eye damage. And I don't like that some of these surgeons just see people as a money grab and they prey on young insecure people who don't know any better.
@@loryndabenson2118 Yeah! Even if you avoid eye damage, the filler could stay there for goodness knows how long and also move from where it was originally placed over time. No thanks😅
The same goes with drastic plastic surgery on your body, most women’s bodies go change a lot once they hit 25 and sometimes again at 30. So to get drastic body surgeries at 21 is not going to look right later on because your body is going to keep changing. Of course I don’t want to tell anyone what they should or should not do but at least they need to wait and not rush to do such drastic and evasive things to their body.
Most women’s bodies DO NOT change at 25 or 30!! Who told you that? Nothing happens that that age, that’s still way too young for anything to happen to!
I call 🐂 💩 25? 30? Any changes would be due to being a lazy slob, that's not the norm. After menopause is when the body changes.....did a 12 y/o come up with this idea?
@@winxclubstellamusa Ikr Idk what supposedly happens at 25 cuz I'm 25 and still have the same naturally thin body I had at 20. People just keep saying stuff online acting like you suddenly are supposed to look mid-30s in your mid-20s and it's concerning, it's like a terminally online and worrying about aging way to think but it's just not reality unless you have a really bad lifestyle like eat mostly junk and smoke/vape and get not enough sleep which is a good chunk of people too so maybe that's also skewing people's perspectives.. but I haven't even had the healthiest lifestyle (I do wanna get better about that) and I still haven't suddenly gained weight mid-20s cuz your metabolism doesn't slow down until like 60 according to medical experts.
Some do though. When I hit 25, it was like I went through 2nd puberty, physically and internally 😂. Thing is, even if not all women's bodies will change, you're never sure you won't be part of the "some" that could change. Why not wait till a more stable time? That's if you insist though, I generally don't endorse getting unnecessary stuff done.
my heart breaks for these young women who felt pressured to look younger when they are still so young. the fear of aging pressured them into actions that only accelerated it. seriously praying for all of their emotional wellbeing. they are beautiful with so much life ahead of them... i hope they know it ♡♡
So I wanted to get my boobs done for my 30th birthday, so I sent a message to the plastic surgery office to get the process going. After I sent the message, I had a dream that night that I was touring the plastic surgeons office. At the end of the tour a lady turned and looked at me and said “and why are you here?” And I felt a little silly, like I needed to justify my choices, and so I told her that I felt like my lower body was disproportionate to my upper body and I wanted to even it out. She just said “ok” in a nonjudgmental voice. When I woke up, I thought about my dream and was like yeah I don’t really need that. I feel good about my decision. I feel like that was my higher self checking in on me or something.
i kind of love that for you. i try to not judge people for procedures they want, but the self acceptance is really the best and most lovely choice to see
Wow that's definitely amazing, ur higher self got ur back. I'm not judging others who had these procedures too however I knew a youtuber who had them done and removed them bc they were uncomfortable. So I'm glad u decided not to go forward.
I’m mid 20 with the smallest of wrinkles forming and I am a tutor who teaches small children who have natural wrinkles on their foreheads.. some peoples skin is just different
Don’t confuse wrinkles with dehydration lines and expression lines!! I’m positive that you are actually talking about the latter two. As both you and your students are WAY TOO YOUNG to even begin to develop have any wrinkles.
@@winxclubstellamusaKids can have wrinkles from over expression. Cause their kids who make stupid face all the time. Drinking water may reduce the appearance, but it won't magically get rid of them.
@@winxclubstellamusamid twenties is not too young to start to develop wrinkles unfortunately. Everyone's skin is different, there are so many factors that contribute to our skins appearance from hydration, food, sun, sleep, smoking, genetics etc. While hydration is extremely important, genetics also plays a huge role, some people could take the best care of their skin but unfortunately if the skin lacks elasticity they just aren't as lucky and won't be blessed in the skin department
I was so insecure a few years ago and at 19 I got filler for the first time. I tried to get a top up a few weeks after and thank GOD my injector said no! Now it's dissolved (as much as it can be) and I would never have it done again! Learning to love myself has been hard but worth it for no more filler!
I believe its because we associate that 'look' with women 40+ so now the younger ones also getting those procedures look similar to the older ones, and so look older than their age. 🤷♀️
Fillers can also make new wrinkles in other places, for example if you get them in your cheeks they might push the skin around your eyes and lip fillers can make the lines around your mouth more pronounced
I hope i will never get any plastic surgery bcs i dont want to “erase” the look of my ancestors and my parents, especially my dad. I look like my dad a lot and he already passed away, so i want to save what he left for me forever
I'm a bit the opposite. I'm scared of looking like my mom and dad as I get older, because I don't want to be reminded of them all the time. I feel good at imagining looking 60 until I use a filter and realize I might look like my mom.
@ZZ-qy5mv That's okay, your feelings are valid ❤️ some parents didn't deserve children and as their kid, you have the right to heal from what they did to you. Everyone have their own ways to heal, so as long as it's not hurt yourself or hurt other people, don't be ashamed of it. You deserve a peaceful and good life, I hope you have the strength to stay kind and patient. Trust me, keep searching the good side from the bad experiences, then, hopefully, you will find peace and strength to keep going. We're strangers and don't even know each other's name 😂 but I already believe you will be someone everyone love, miss, and respect ❤️ I'm sorry if I sound too much 😭 js wanted you to know that your feelings are valid and it's okay to have different opinion and experience. Wish you all the best, love 🙌❤️
This is one of the, if not, the most warm, big hearted comment I ever have read online. ⚘🐞🍀 you are such a supportive individual with so much strength that you want to share that with others. People around you are lucky to have you in their lives. If they don't acknowledge that, you just have to invest all the love you have inside you, into yourself. You'll be suprised what amazing good Divine events and situations and success and abundance will happen to you. Thank you for speaking your truth 💞
Sticking fillers in your face stretches your skin, by the time they do reach 30 it’s time for a facelift, by the time they reach 50 the bride of wildenstein springs to mind!
This makes me feel a little better because I have been so depressed at not being able to afford to keep up with beauty procedures. I am 36 and want to get Botox when I can afford it, for my forehead lines. I am noticing overfilled faces everywhere on social media and it is not attractive.
I'm about to be 35 this year and I've been feeling the same. It's so frustrating, I feel like a teenager again in the early 00s- wanting to be ED thin like the celebrities. Unfortunately, I did end up with an ED and permanent damage to my body. I try to remember that when I want to do things to my face as well. Hugs ❤
Start faceyoga every day and deep massages. Use pure castor oil, helichrysum and rose oil. And watch how young you will look after a few weeks. Also no processed foods and sugar will take years of your face and body.
You look after your health first. You don't need those procedures. Your in your prime. If you have a good beauty regimen you should be fine. I'd get frequency therapy in your 40s. Don't get injections ever.
I’m 39…you don’t need to Botox your forehead lines. It only ever gives you a ridiculous shiny egg head. It doesn’t make you look younger or fresher. Good skincare, SPF, resistance training, eat well, don’t a smoke or drink alcohol. If you can afford it get some really good skin treatments such as laser treatments or microneedling. Sleep on your back if you can. Getting rid of your forehead wrinkles won’t back you look better. It’ll make you look weird.
I'm a 51 athlete who trains 4 days/week. People regularly think I'm in my early to mid 30s. Here's the truth: exercise, healthy food and good sleep patterns will keep much of the aging process at bay. Stay healthy inside and your skin will look younger outside. ❤
@@chankero4776 I don't like gyms because men there are so creepy, but I cycle and/or swim regularly. Now that I'm in my 50s I found that it is more difficult to maintain muscle so recently I began weight lifting. As well, I also do a small warm-up routine which takes 8 minutes every morning, and while it's very easy and gentle, just getting my moving straight out of bed boosts my metabolism. I'm two years menopausal and most women dp gain weight during menopause, but I am proof that anyone can keep a healthy body if they do the work. And lastly, it's important that whatever exercise program you use, it has to be fun. If you're dreading going to the gym, then you're going to the wrong gym. Have fun! Also, eating well, drinking plenty of water, and getting enough sleep will give you the energy to make your workouts the most effective. ❤ Love from Ireland
Personally I got undereye filler for my hollow undereyes and it made me look so much less tired / less insecure about the dark circles. I appreciate that I can feel better about how I look now. Some filler can be positive in moderation if you have a situation like that.
I definitely agree with you. If I was able to afford it, I would try to get fillers for some of the damage I have to my face from severe acne scarring. I forget what it's called, but there's also this thing you can get done where they cut around the scar underneath the skin, to basically release it, and it ends up getting rid of the scar. I'm thinking about getting something like that done in the future, because of how severe my scarring is. I think a lot of the time these RUclipsrs just sensationalize these things, without giving proper context. If I was able to do that, maybe I wouldn't feel so uncomfortable about my scarring, and would have less severe agoraphobia.
@@xdani_thethinkingneko I think you're talking about subcision! I'm considering it too, but I've heard about some scary side effect from it, like premature facial laxity
i would get it if i could afford it. i have very visible hollowness and look so tired all the time despite having slept well and hydrating enough, getting so many comments so often on how i look tired or sad or if im doing alright lmao. it is genetic and ive always had them like it's just my eyesockets are shaped this way, but they are getting more noticeable the older i get. concealers do nothing to hide it. i dont want to go crazy with fillers, i just want to look like myself but less tired. i have looked at others girls who have very similar structure around the eyes as me and have gotten undereye fillers, and just a small amount does wonders to look more generally awake and healthier happier
I feel crazy in my office because the woman around me get way way too excited about filler. This video made me feel normal and more in love with myself 🎉
I think that people look best when they look like people. Nothing is as attractive as a person who looks unique and human. Wrinkles, dimples, hooked or aquiline noses, over defined/underdefined jawlines and cheekbones, freckles, beauty spots, moles, healthy fat, so on and so forth. People are so incredibly beautiful, aging is so incredibly beautiful. Please don't feel that you need to change the way you look to fit into ever-changing beauty standards. You look like *you* and that is the most important, beautiful, attractive thing in the world.
Also, when people come with the "you're old" or "you're getting old", my thought has always been "why is that a problem? Getting old is a privilege many don't get to have (because they died young)". I think a shift in perspective of what getting/looking old is, is necessary. Enjoy yourself, your body and your looks at every age. Focus on being graceful as your evolve across all. 😊
I have a funny story. I’m 23. And have such a baby face. I’ve accepted that I’m always going to get ID. So the story is, I went to buy some alcohol and behind me was these two women. I honestly thought they were 30s with how they looked. The employee asked for ID and I bought my stuff. Then he didn’t ID the women behind me and they were so offended. Turns out they were the same age as me….
Treat your body like a rare gem. Put on that sunscreen, eat well and balanced (yes chocolate and junk food but in moderation) Repay yourself with self care, stay hydrated and get some sleep. It took me a while to realize that I have to live within this body, no one else…❤😊
The best thing you can do for your looks is a good attitude. Hate, anger , envy , greed etc all have a look . Experience in life can give you bad attitude but work on improving it , it's never too late. There is no hack
I completely agree! A positive mindset is everything 😍 I always feel my happiest when I'm positive about all circumstances, instead of sitting and being sour all the time!
12:17 omg she looks so scary. She looks like this Korean horror movie I watched about how literally everyone got horrible plastic surgery to be “normal” and the protagonist was a “ugly” young girl without any surgery and her whole family was encouraging her to get “the surgery”
I think fillers or any enhancements are unnecessary until a person grows into themself and I'd argue that's about our mid 30s. I'm all for doing what you want to your own face but we can't deny that societal pressure paired with insurgence of commercializing plastic surgery (like hyaluronic pen 'techs' and veneer 'techs') and profitting off of unethical marketing of it, has been the biggest issue. At least before, fillers and surgery were limited accessibility, reserved only for the famous and wealthy but now anyone can get it done, especially underground through these various 'techs'. And it's sad that people feel so pressured to maintain a certain look and get bashed if they get cosmetic enhancements but get bashed even if they don't get anything done. It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. I'd like to say the root of the problem is plastic surgery but it's really how people have gotten too comfortable voicing their "opinions" on the internet along with this bizarre tiktokified commercialisation of the practice.
You have a beautiful face. Dont let them think you are not perfect the way god made you. I am 46 and I don't do anything unnatural. I embrace all my imperfections. Taught my daughter to be the same way. It's refreshing to see young people like you staying strong and loving your natural self.
I love this vid. it is so important to accept natural beauty, and stop these crazy plastic surgery looks that have become so standard where everyone wants to look the same. I'm soooo happy I stopped wanting a nose job, I LOVE my big nose now, and I make a point to no longer ever use those silly face altering snapchat filters or anything like that anymore when I decide to post the rare selfie online. I don't even have a following but I refuse to contribute to an issue im so passionate about fixing
i’m a 17 year old girl, and have felt pretty bad about my own chin for the last few months but hearing your story really helped, you truly are beautiful and if you could be told something like that and get through it and come out looking as pretty as you do today, so can i
Awe my angel you absolutely can 😭❤️ I’m happy that could help you in some way. It’s so upsetting to hear from strangers that the natural features that we have aren’t pretty but I think if you can learn to love every part of yourself nothing AND no one’s opinions can ever bring you down ❤️ your chin is amazing as it is!
This is so so inspiring to me because you know what it was this girl that I let my friend add to my birthday instagram group chat and my friend mentioned her grandmother passing and i felt it so deeply and I said something related to what she said and then her friend just started being so rude to me she was like not everything is about you and I cried about it :( and my friend recently told me that her friend asked why I was black and she said cuz that’s how god created her and she also made a point she was like why does she have this Christian stuff in her bio if she judges gods creations so yes thank you lael I really needed that boost of confidence 🥺🥺🦋
the funny thing is that I'm honestly yearning to get botox... for my chronic migraines. but the wait list is several years long in my region, and you can't get it privately here. Otherwise I would do it in a heartbeat. I wish it was more accesible.
Idk if its cause I'm neurodivergent or maybe its the over exposure to these never ending beauty standards but never in my life have I ever wanted to get work done in my life. The closest I ever came was liposection and that's cause my folks almost paid for it. But I recognised my negativity towards my weight was because of larger pressure, and that was reflected in my disordered eating. So i went to therapy and worked out more and im not a "healthy weight" but im a hell of a lot healthier.
We need to stop the normalization of plastic surgery/procedures like filler for cosmetic purposes that don't provide any health benefits or even put your health at risk. Of course, we shouldn't shame those who have gotten work done, but we shouldn't encourage it unless it's for health purposes. The plastic surgery industry primarily targets POC and women due to Eurocentric and unrealistic misogynistic beauty standards. If we put more effort into dismantling these standards (or at least acknowledge them and put effort into not paying them any mind for our mental health), then we likely wouldn't feel the need to go under the knife/syringe. If you want to change something about your face or body so badly that you feel the need to get work done, you have body dysmorphia and need to get ACTUAL treatment in the form of therapy.
It's funny you mention your jawline, because I was just looking at it, thinking it looks a bit like mine, and feeling better about my own because I think yours looks gorgeous! Thank you for this video! Such a good message.
I have always have a big tush ever since I was a teen. Everyone teased and called me names. Felt insecure until the kardashian BBL trend came out. Then realized humans are fickle and i cant change who I am. Trends and tastes will always evolve. Just make sure you wont regret it as some procedures cannot be undone!
I was at a college campus dropping off some food for my brother. A group of girls in their early 20’s maybe even 19 had clear signs of filler in their face. It genuinely made me a little sad because, they were all so beautiful!! They didn’t need it by no means. It made their face look odd you could see where the filler had been placed.
Girl we got the same nose! Makes me feel sooo good that someone with my nose shape still has the bump on their bridge. You are stunning (literally look like Jennifer Garner’s younger sister) and I loved this video. Agree with everything you said, everyone looks the same!
Haven’t been here since 2018, Lael looking fine 😍❤️I’m 28 and I refuse to do anything to my face, I’ve always looked younger than I am & I’ll just stick to drinking water & taking care of my skin.
Im in my late 20s and work with some people in early 20s. Lol, everyone thinks im their age or younger. It's actually insane that these women look like they have gotten divoiced twice with 3+ kids.
This is literally so true!!! And btw I love your videos so much leal!!! I love your music and your podcast videos🤍🎶 I never been so happy to just listen to someone talk and express themselves and be so relatable!💓 we all love you so much leal!🤍 stay safe, happy, and healthy✨
Thank you for your message of positivity and self acceptance. We need more voices like you out there. I also love that you mentioned not changing the nose of your ancestors. For years I wished I could afford a nose job and hated my nose. By age 30 I had totally embraced accepting myself the way I am. This nose was passed down from my Father and it is perfect the way it is.
I’m almost 27 have not gotten anything done to my face and still get confused for a 19 or 20 y/o. It’s crazy seeing people younger than me looking way older.
As someone from New York I will say that many of the Latin women I’ve seen tend to have everything done such as nose, lip & face fillers, bbl and/or boob jobs. Often times their families will gift them these surgeries or their men will fund it. I know of many Hispanic boxers who most times come with their botched fiancés or wives looking older than their men. 😂😂😂
I just finished watching the entire video and I must have missed where the “scientifically proven” part is. Sorry if I missed the reference to the study. Thank you!
I'm a gen z and i'm just so sick of everyone comparing and judging my age as younger or older cause of my age. I'm already so insecure of my age for not catching up to the expected life milestones that I feel like I can't just exist or catch up to my age. I grew up both very infantilized and treated like an adult and older that I am so tired of trying to catch up to my age. Aging is not a gift at all cause everyone will make you aware of it as you get older.
People only point out other people's age because they are insecure about their own age. They are projecting. Best advice I wish someone told me when I was younger is 99% of people's opinions are useless noise. Only listen to people who inspire you or that you want to be like.
The 8 yr old thing broke me I have a 8 year old I think how soft her skin is when I look at her this is sick. Also im 30 and this botox shit gets me too because i have faint smile lines and forehead lines I still look my age but its horrible that's society trying to say you cant have a single line or expression or youre "not pretty "
It is certainly not just in the UK, I've seen it a lot in shows particularly the US and Australia and quite a few actors, reality TV people, models and influencers get it too. I don't think we should hate on people for their looks though, it's their choice to get fillers or not and if it makes them feel happier and more confident then do it just try not to go overboard
Good for you for not letting the internet trolls make you feel like you need to modify (I don't agree with the term "augment") your face. No matter how you look, people online will always give you shit. Just do you
You definitely don’t “need” any work, you’re absolutely stunning. I think you have the natural version of the features that these people with filler are trying to achieve.
My fears about old age
1) having teath pulled for dentures
2) Chronic pain
3) Abusive nursing home
4) Lack of mobility
5) Adult diapers
My face doesn't make the list.
Yes, all the fillers & plastic surgery in the world cannot stop internal aging of joints, muscles, & connective tissue. Only healthy lifestyle (good food, exercise) can stave off symptoms of aging, & it gets us all, regardless of how our outer shell looks.
And the risk for many of these things can be diminished with a healthy lifestyle, and having good muscle mass throughout your life (weight lifting!). It keeps you functional at an old age.
Get ready
LOL good for you!
Add Alzheimer’s to my list 🤦🏽♀️
I get lip fillers for some asymmetry because I ripped half my top lip off wrecking my bike when I was a kid. It's definitely tempting to get more but seeing women get carried away like that keeps me soooo grounded. And my injector was very conservative about it. I'd asked him about filler for hollowness/circles under my eyes and he told me "fillers and topicals wont fix the dark circles. You have large eye sockets and the darkness is the shadow from inside your skull". HE BLEW MY MIND. I'd spent years on eye creams thinking i was tired and it was my anatomy. Props to that doctor for actually being honest and not filling my head with bullsht.
Yes! Definitely if you get injections, go to the right place that you trust! I have a missing front tooth so I got some lip filled for asymmetry, and they were so focused on natural and minimal. They refuse requests constantly apparently
I think yours is the one very reasonable and understandable exception regarding getting fillers. For accident victims, fillers can be life changing and I’m glad you have that available to you. But barring an accident, I’m so against fillers. All these people getting fillers to look younger is tragic.
Filler is correctly used for medical purposes such as yours or folks whose muscle tends to jerk unwantedly. Although adults are free to do what they want I do think excessive Botox for non medical reasons are a little eh, they do age you 😅
Tbh I think this is an unpopular opinion,but I like dark eye circles. On men and women, since I'm pansexual. I just think it's so cute 🥺
@@xdani_thethinkingneko I feel that tho! I've even seen some makeup trends leaning towards the dark circle look 🤣 after the doctor explained to me why I had the circles I just did a full 180 and watched some Tim Burton movies and me and the raccoon eyes are homies now
botox used to be for older women already showing signs of aging. plastic surgeons just wanted to double their customer base.
More like triple. Think about it. Used to be 50+.Now they have 40, 30, 20s. 😮
Absolutely 💯 correct. It's all about making money. 😢
Facts
It actually wasn't... early 20s used to get it..
Well said. And because now people are getting it younger and younger, they don't really know how well it will age.

Even with makeup which I wear and have no problem with but if you look like a completely different person with it off than you are doing way too much. It’s supposed to just enhance your natural features. It’s insane today

I used to think I wanted a nose job, but now that I am 26 and my brain is more developed, I'm really having a different perspective on appreciating my looks.
I’m 31 and I used to want a boob job because I was “flat chested” but I started lifting weights and now I have the size I wanted and got there at like 29. Everyone grows into their bodies and everyone should love what they’re born with. I’m glad you love your nose now.
Some of the most gorgeous women have striking noses 👃
fr ill be 27 later this year and basically everything i was once insecure about, i dont mind anymore, im just me
Me too. I always thought my nose was too big, but now that I'm older, my nose is the least of my worries.
Same! I’m about to turn 26 next week. I’ve been struggling with body image/insecurities about my looks+aging but I’ve started to appreciate my unique features lately! Same with aging, I’m starting to appreciate that I’m becoming a woman and not a young teen/adult anymore.
That woman promoting Botox at 19 looks horrible. She’s only promoting it yes because of money but also she knows she’ll have longer customers most doctors do this.😊
Her head was like a boiled egg covered in Vaseline🥚
Her face looks so stiff and stuffed.
Omg this is such an accurate comparison 😭😭@@latristessdurera8763
"if everyone f*cks their face like I did, I'll look young again by comparison- QUICK EVERYONE GET BOTOX, I'M NOT THE PROBLEM"
They do...if you use it later, you will look younger
Too early, ages
I think it's not only the plastic surgery. It's the tanning addiction, drinking, drugs, partying, junk food AND PLASTIC SURGERY.
Millennials drank, partied, and did drugs, too. And so did the ones before them. It's the injects cmon
I agree all the above ages people. But also the majority of white British people are type 1 on the Fitzpatrick scale so not wearing sunscreen and purposefully trying to tan is going to age them faster as well. In fact it think sun exposure is the no.1 cause of premature skin aging.
and vaping/ smoking!!!!
@understone86 - You are 100% correct. It is primarily poor lifestyle habits that age young women. It pains me to see it. It’s so unnecessary.

You're doing it right, lady. 👍
@@vanessaa7602i would never care abt men enough to waste money for them bc u know they are the only ones who benefit
I want to push back on one of your points: women and girls that have had nothing done are absolutely NOT the minority. We are the overwhelming majority. It's just that those with money and influence can afford these procedures and they are often the people that step into the limelight.
I agree with your statement
Yes, they are the loudest and they’re also influencing so many people so that number goes higher
💯
Arguable at this point but yeah 😅
Absolutely. This is just the echo chamber this person is. The majority of women simply cannot afford such procedures.
I am so glad you didn't shave your jaw. Your face shape is so rare and unique it makes you look ethereal in my opinion. Those previous pics of you with colored hair you look so otherworldly. Photographers opinion those pics were beautiful. Everyone has opinion but kind people don't make people feel badly about themselves.
I used to get made fun of for having a strong jaw but now I'm so glad I just decided to live with it because now it's my favorite feature
Right! I love her face shape
I wanted to come on here to say the same things! The way your nose, your jaw, your lips, your brow sits are a beautiful show of your genetic heritage !
And to add her facial thirds are equal and perfect, shaving the jaw would throw off proportion.
Ethereal? She's a pretty woman,but she has strong features. Which based on the definition of the word, is inaccurate. Someone with ethereal beauty, typically has light and delicate features, which she has the opposite of.
I feel like statuesque, is a better way to describe her. She reminds me of Greco-Roman statues.
I was told since I was eight years old that I would get a nose job for my 16th birthday from my mother and then she never got it for me. She, I always grew up with such a toxic sense of beauty and now at 29 She admitted to me that she was always jealous and she wanted to be me. Be careful ladies don’t want anyone tell you you’re not beautiful just the way you are, I would’ve spent money on all the procedures had it. I’m grateful I didn’t.
oh my god that is so terrible. so good you realised it before having things done, but no one should have a parent say such things to them... all power and strength to you
Narcissist mothers. The term might be overused but so many women have gone through it. It can be healing to share experiences with others who have been through it
Same. ❤
Oof, I'm so sorry. The beauty industry has impacted so many people. I remember that my mom was always on some diet. I wish all bodies were celebrated at a younger age. At least I get to live this today and hopefully inspire others to be proud of who you are no matter the beauty standard of the time.
What?! Why would your mom say that?! Horrible
I heard a plastic surgeon say you should wait until you are 60 to get fillers and honestly makes sense. All the 50 year olds that I know look so young. They could easily pass for being in their 40s. You should absolutely wait until you actually need fillers.
So true, most of the 50 year olds I know really look young as well. Though I disagree with fillers and plastic surgery for cosmetic purposes I get why they said 60 instead. Lord Jesus is coming to judge this world. Please remember that Remarriage while your first spouse is still alive is adultery and one must repent from it. Either remain single or reconcile. Be careful not to use God's Name in vain, Holy ****, Jesus Christ, jeez/sheesh, OMG, oml are also blasphemous uses of God's Name! Exodus 20:7 forbids it. Lord Jesus Christ is coming back everyone, please don’t worship celebrities and entertainment, focus on Him alone. I promise there’s more to life than money, partying, homosexuality and music. Hell is real, repent from sinning confess your sins and ask God to forgive you, I know He will if you’re sincere. Hell is very hot, people please repent! In the mighty name of Lord Jesus Christ, Amen 🙏💪✝️💜❤️✝️!
Idolatry such as, Islam, Catholicism, Sangomaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Racism, Santa Clausism, Confucianism, New Age, Science, Evolution, halloweenism, Harry Potterism, Politics, Donald Trumpism, Easter Bunnyism and other religions/faiths that are outside Biblical Christianity lead to hell! Don’t believe them, believe the Almighty God the Father of Lord Jesus Christ, who begot Him. Our Creator, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is mighty, He doesn’t need a woman to beget a son, He is God. I choose to put my faith in a God who can do anything and everything, a God who has unlimited and infinite power to beget!
So, it’s time to confess that Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord and to believe that He died and rose from the grave after three days and you shall be saved if you only obey Him by praying, worshipping, praising, reading the Bible and living holy and righteously according to the Bible. You have to endure until the end, carry your cross daily and build your relationship with God by following Lord Jesus daily until the end. You must never renounce your faith in The Lord Jesus Christ, there’s hell awaiting those who reject/deny Lord Jesus Christ and those who continue living sinfully, even the Christians who don’t want to repent will face the same fate, so please repent beloved people, in Lord Jesus Christ’s mighty and precious Name, Amen.
Makes sense, get fillers to puff up sagging when your skin is older and loses elasticity.
Exactly. Why fill already filled skin
Well, nobody "needs" fillers, just sayin'.
@@missj794 That is so true!
yes it's the excessive lip filler giving them deepened nasolabial folds, but it's DEFINITELY also the makeup. Those eyebrows are not doing any favours for them, the heavy lash extensions too. Their faces become too severe.
Cheek filler!
@@kookootrix1978 sure, it could definitely be a combination of migrating cheek filler and lip filler!

13:12 the story of the little girl getting botox... is this not literal child abuse?
Yes. Yes, it is.
Hello, CPS?
yeah exactly!!!!! how is that mom not in jail?!
Yes 100%
Putting Botox into an 8-year-old’s face should be considered child abuse. Who does this woman think she is? Is she even a doctor to be doing this herself? How the hell did they do a whole news piece on it instead of locking her up and remove that child from her “care”?
*Really, child pageants should be considered child abuse. It's insane that this little girl thinks she's looking old because of the child pageant situation*
Absolutely insane that people would mock your jawline, there are models who are famous for having stronger jaws!! It's a notoriously beautiful and unique feature.
When I was in middle school, there was a boy who would bully me because I was pretty tomboyish. I also have a strong jawline and I gotta be honest, I didn’t have the best hairstyle to flatter it. He would constantly tell me that I looked like a boy and that I was ugly. At the time I believed him because I wanted to look like a girl. I’m 25 now and I have a better hairstyle and have found a comfortable style of clothes. When I was 20, during the pandemic, the same guy DMed me on IG and flirted with me. I went ahead and asked him how he was doing and he was confused because he didn’t recognize me. I told him who I was and he immediately stopped DMing me 😂

I'm 42 and it's almost offensive if people say these women look my age. I'm sorry- they don't look like they are 40- they look like someone who got their face botched. BTW it also doesn't look good if you're older. Use sunscreen, moisturizer and don't drink or smoke and you will look way younger without having to blow-up or freeze your face.
They do look above 35!
Just facts.
I think people confuse botched with older because before older people use to get botox and fillers more often and get botched, but now 20 yesrs old with botox looks the same strange face that 40 years old with botox
@@TheCata21 exactly- that's what I meant. They don't have the signs of a natural aging face like wrinkles, age-spots, or sagging. They look older because we connect filler and botox with someone older who gets these procedures because they have sign of aging. If you do them on a young face it ages you. It's sad that these young women felt the need to do this to themselves. But nowadays people get hate no matter what they do.

I remember about seven years ago, i was 26. I went with my friend to keep her company for her breast augmentation and the doctor tried to twll me i needed filler under my eyes 🙂. I dont know if people know this but its normal to lose a little volume under your eyes in your twenties and 30's. Youre supposed to. We're not supposed to have our 16 year old baby faces forever. We're supposed to transition into a more mature looking face at some point. Also some people just naturally dont have a lot of volume under their eyes, some people have naturally nore hollow under eyes, thats just our face and we shouldn't be made to feel like something is wrong with us. Anyway im all for agung naturally, my health and mobility is more important and who knows if all those fillers could be making people sick long term. If someone thinks im ugly oh well. Id rather be ugly and healthy.
Ugh. So rude to tell you that you should get a procedure when you weren't there to be a patient to begin with. Who asked??! Also, I've seen videos posted by plastic surgeons, explaining why they no longer give anyone under eye fillers. I thought about getting it for myself until I watched those. Like you said: it's better to be healthy.
@@stephstevens2 oh yeah! I saw those videos too of some surgeons refusing to do them now because of the risk of eye damage. And I don't like that some of these surgeons just see people as a money grab and they prey on young insecure people who don't know any better.

The same goes with drastic plastic surgery on your body, most women’s bodies go change a lot once they hit 25 and sometimes again at 30. So to get drastic body surgeries at 21 is not going to look right later on because your body is going to keep changing. Of course I don’t want to tell anyone what they should or should not do but at least they need to wait and not rush to do such drastic and evasive things to their body.
Most women’s bodies DO NOT change at 25 or 30!! Who told you that? Nothing happens that that age, that’s still way too young for anything to happen to!
@@winxclubstellamusa woman bodies do change around those ages, look it up

@@winxclubstellamusa Ikr Idk what supposedly happens at 25 cuz I'm 25 and still have the same naturally thin body I had at 20. People just keep saying stuff online acting like you suddenly are supposed to look mid-30s in your mid-20s and it's concerning, it's like a terminally online and worrying about aging way to think but it's just not reality unless you have a really bad lifestyle like eat mostly junk and smoke/vape and get not enough sleep which is a good chunk of people too so maybe that's also skewing people's perspectives.. but I haven't even had the healthiest lifestyle (I do wanna get better about that) and I still haven't suddenly gained weight mid-20s cuz your metabolism doesn't slow down until like 60 according to medical experts.
Some do though. When I hit 25, it was like I went through 2nd puberty, physically and internally 😂. Thing is, even if not all women's bodies will change, you're never sure you won't be part of the "some" that could change. Why not wait till a more stable time? That's if you insist though, I generally don't endorse getting unnecessary stuff done.
my heart breaks for these young women who felt pressured to look younger when they are still so young. the fear of aging pressured them into actions that only accelerated it. seriously praying for all of their emotional wellbeing. they are beautiful with so much life ahead of them... i hope they know it ♡♡
So I wanted to get my boobs done for my 30th birthday, so I sent a message to the plastic surgery office to get the process going. After I sent the message, I had a dream that night that I was touring the plastic surgeons office. At the end of the tour a lady turned and looked at me and said “and why are you here?” And I felt a little silly, like I needed to justify my choices, and so I told her that I felt like my lower body was disproportionate to my upper body and I wanted to even it out. She just said “ok” in a nonjudgmental voice. When I woke up, I thought about my dream and was like yeah I don’t really need that. I feel good about my decision. I feel like that was my higher self checking in on me or something.
i kind of love that for you. i try to not judge people for procedures they want, but the self acceptance is really the best and most lovely choice to see
@@helixxia9320 totally, the nonjudgmental part stuck with me the most. Like the lady in my dream was completely nonjudgmental of my choice either way.

It is the emotions that cause wrinkles. There is no shame in that. It is impossible to stay wrinkleless.

@@winxclubstellamusahow would you know the difference?
@@winxclubstellamusamid twenties is not too young to start to develop wrinkles unfortunately. Everyone's skin is different, there are so many factors that contribute to our skins appearance from hydration, food, sun, sleep, smoking, genetics etc. While hydration is extremely important, genetics also plays a huge role, some people could take the best care of their skin but unfortunately if the skin lacks elasticity they just aren't as lucky and won't be blessed in the skin department
mothers who are injecting their children with botox and fillers should be brought up on child abuse charges
I was so insecure a few years ago and at 19 I got filler for the first time. I tried to get a top up a few weeks after and thank GOD my injector said no! Now it's dissolved (as much as it can be) and I would never have it done again! Learning to love myself has been hard but worth it for no more filler!
I believe its because we associate that 'look' with women 40+ so now the younger ones also getting those procedures look similar to the older ones, and so look older than their age. 🤷♀️
That’s exactly it
Fillers can also make new wrinkles in other places, for example if you get them in your cheeks they might push the skin around your eyes and lip fillers can make the lines around your mouth more pronounced
Makeup and most hygiene products are directly toxi leading to oxidative stress, one of the main causes of aging.
I hope i will never get any plastic surgery bcs i dont want to “erase” the look of my ancestors and my parents, especially my dad. I look like my dad a lot and he already passed away, so i want to save what he left for me forever
I'm a bit the opposite. I'm scared of looking like my mom and dad as I get older, because I don't want to be reminded of them all the time. I feel good at imagining looking 60 until I use a filter and realize I might look like my mom.
@ZZ-qy5mv That's okay, your feelings are valid ❤️ some parents didn't deserve children and as their kid, you have the right to heal from what they did to you. Everyone have their own ways to heal, so as long as it's not hurt yourself or hurt other people, don't be ashamed of it. You deserve a peaceful and good life, I hope you have the strength to stay kind and patient. Trust me, keep searching the good side from the bad experiences, then, hopefully, you will find peace and strength to keep going. We're strangers and don't even know each other's name 😂 but I already believe you will be someone everyone love, miss, and respect ❤️ I'm sorry if I sound too much 😭 js wanted you to know that your feelings are valid and it's okay to have different opinion and experience. Wish you all the best, love 🙌❤️
This is one of the, if not, the most warm, big hearted comment I ever have read online. ⚘🐞🍀 you are such a supportive individual with so much strength that you want to share that with others. People around you are lucky to have you in their lives. If they don't acknowledge that, you just have to invest all the love you have inside you, into yourself. You'll be suprised what amazing good Divine events and situations and success and abundance will happen to you. Thank you for speaking your truth 💞
I'm a nurse. Most 70-80 year olds look the same. You can't cheat time
Sticking fillers in your face stretches your skin, by the time they do reach 30 it’s time for a facelift, by the time they reach 50 the bride of wildenstein springs to mind!
*Plastic surgeons love that! It keeps them in business, making money. The plastic surgery industry exists to prey on people's insecurities*
This makes me feel a little better because I have been so depressed at not being able to afford to keep up with beauty procedures. I am 36 and want to get Botox when I can afford it, for my forehead lines. I am noticing overfilled faces everywhere on social media and it is not attractive.
Yeah don't do it. With excessive fillers and botox people look their age AND deformed. Look at Madonna 😭
I'm about to be 35 this year and I've been feeling the same. It's so frustrating, I feel like a teenager again in the early 00s- wanting to be ED thin like the celebrities. Unfortunately, I did end up with an ED and permanent damage to my body. I try to remember that when I want to do things to my face as well. Hugs ❤
Start faceyoga every day and deep massages. Use pure castor oil, helichrysum and rose oil.
And watch how young you will look after a few weeks.
Also no processed foods and sugar will take years of your face and body.
You look after your health first. You don't need those procedures. Your in your prime. If you have a good beauty regimen you should be fine. I'd get frequency therapy in your 40s. Don't get injections ever.
I’m 39…you don’t need to Botox your forehead lines. It only ever gives you a ridiculous shiny egg head. It doesn’t make you look younger or fresher. Good skincare, SPF, resistance training, eat well, don’t a smoke or drink alcohol. If you can afford it get some really good skin treatments such as laser treatments or microneedling. Sleep on your back if you can. Getting rid of your forehead wrinkles won’t back you look better. It’ll make you look weird.
I'm a 51 athlete who trains 4 days/week. People regularly think I'm in my early to mid 30s. Here's the truth: exercise, healthy food and good sleep patterns will keep much of the aging process at bay. Stay healthy inside and your skin will look younger outside. ❤
What kind of exercise do you recommend? Running or going to the gym? Or at home workout are sufficient enough? Thanks in advance! 😇
Wow, you are beautiful! I wish to look like that at 45 😮😮😮!!!
@@chankero4776 I don't like gyms because men there are so creepy, but I cycle and/or swim regularly. Now that I'm in my 50s I found that it is more difficult to maintain muscle so recently I began weight lifting. As well, I also do a small warm-up routine which takes 8 minutes every morning, and while it's very easy and gentle, just getting my moving straight out of bed boosts my metabolism. I'm two years menopausal and most women dp gain weight during menopause, but I am proof that anyone can keep a healthy body if they do the work.
And lastly, it's important that whatever exercise program you use, it has to be fun. If you're dreading going to the gym, then you're going to the wrong gym. Have fun!
Also, eating well, drinking plenty of water, and getting enough sleep will give you the energy to make your workouts the most effective. ❤
Love from Ireland
Videos like this are so necessary!! Keep speaking up! Bodies and faces being trends is just ridiculous.
Personally I got undereye filler for my hollow undereyes and it made me look so much less tired / less insecure about the dark circles. I appreciate that I can feel better about how I look now. Some filler can be positive in moderation if you have a situation like that.
i agree, i feel we satanize it too much when in some situations it can help to improve a person's self steem
I want undereye fillers too.
I definitely agree with you. If I was able to afford it, I would try to get fillers for some of the damage I have to my face from severe acne scarring.
I forget what it's called, but there's also this thing you can get done where they cut around the scar underneath the skin, to basically release it, and it ends up getting rid of the scar. I'm thinking about getting something like that done in the future, because of how severe my scarring is.
I think a lot of the time these RUclipsrs just sensationalize these things, without giving proper context.
If I was able to do that, maybe I wouldn't feel so uncomfortable about my scarring, and would have less severe agoraphobia.
@@xdani_thethinkingneko I think you're talking about subcision! I'm considering it too, but I've heard about some scary side effect from it, like premature facial laxity
i would get it if i could afford it. i have very visible hollowness and look so tired all the time despite having slept well and hydrating enough, getting so many comments so often on how i look tired or sad or if im doing alright lmao. it is genetic and ive always had them like it's just my eyesockets are shaped this way, but they are getting more noticeable the older i get. concealers do nothing to hide it. i dont want to go crazy with fillers, i just want to look like myself but less tired. i have looked at others girls who have very similar structure around the eyes as me and have gotten undereye fillers, and just a small amount does wonders to look more generally awake and healthier happier
YOUR NOSE IS SO PRETTY GIRL - YOU LOOK LIKE A MYTH GODDESS
i agree her nose is very cute and fits her face so well
JLO is queen of filters and edits AND surgery/botox 😭
But she looks way older than her age without make up and the filters. 😂😂
My friends and i have nothing done and look waaaaay younger.
And the kar-jenners too 😂😂😂
She still looks great though
Olive oil, don't be jelly, she is all natural😂😂😂
Far from the queen of it, if anything it's kylie jenner or any kardashian really that do nothing but filler, and photoshop
When you are older, if you can afford it, fillers are filling up a defated balloon. When you are young you are destroying the already perfect balloon.
😂 good analogy, you are just overinflating
I feel crazy in my office because the woman around me get way way too excited about filler. This video made me feel normal and more in love with myself 🎉
I think that people look best when they look like people. Nothing is as attractive as a person who looks unique and human. Wrinkles, dimples, hooked or aquiline noses, over defined/underdefined jawlines and cheekbones, freckles, beauty spots, moles, healthy fat, so on and so forth. People are so incredibly beautiful, aging is so incredibly beautiful. Please don't feel that you need to change the way you look to fit into ever-changing beauty standards. You look like *you* and that is the most important, beautiful, attractive thing in the world.
Also, when people come with the "you're old" or "you're getting old", my thought has always been "why is that a problem? Getting old is a privilege many don't get to have (because they died young)". I think a shift in perspective of what getting/looking old is, is necessary. Enjoy yourself, your body and your looks at every age. Focus on being graceful as your evolve across all. 😊
My biggest fear is dementia not wrinkles. I’m going age gracefully rather in fact naturally.
im so excited to watch but isn’t that what lip plumper is for like the gloss that’s spicy LMFAO 😭
How about don't get them ever. Waiting until your 30s? Please. Just don't. Full stop.
I have a funny story. I’m 23. And have such a baby face. I’ve accepted that I’m always going to get ID. So the story is, I went to buy some alcohol and behind me was these two women. I honestly thought they were 30s with how they looked. The employee asked for ID and I bought my stuff. Then he didn’t ID the women behind me and they were so offended. Turns out they were the same age as me….
Honey am 38.5yrs and i still get ID-ed. While i have found it annoying all my adult life now that i am approaching 40 i don’t mind so much 😅
Treat your body like a rare gem. Put on that sunscreen, eat well and balanced (yes chocolate and junk food but in moderation)
Repay yourself with self care, stay hydrated and get some sleep.
It took me a while to realize that I have to live within this body, no one else…❤😊
They do not look 35 closer to 48 or 50
So many young women look the same now.
Lael I am loving your hair! The brown looks amazing on you and it looks so healthy✨
The best thing you can do for your looks is a good attitude. Hate, anger , envy , greed etc all have a look . Experience in life can give you bad attitude but work on improving it , it's never too late. There is no hack
I completely agree! A positive mindset is everything 😍 I always feel my happiest when I'm positive about all circumstances, instead of sitting and being sour all the time!
It is also a lot to do with skin damage from sun bed tanning
12:17 omg she looks so scary. She looks like this Korean horror movie I watched about how literally everyone got horrible plastic surgery to be “normal” and the protagonist was a “ugly” young girl without any surgery and her whole family was encouraging her to get “the surgery”
Could you tell me the name of the movie please?
@@suslauri1 I wish I could remember. I watched it at a party. It was just playing.
@@suslauri1i think the film in question may be the short film "Human Form" !!
I think fillers or any enhancements are unnecessary until a person grows into themself and I'd argue that's about our mid 30s. I'm all for doing what you want to your own face but we can't deny that societal pressure paired with insurgence of commercializing plastic surgery (like hyaluronic pen 'techs' and veneer 'techs') and profitting off of unethical marketing of it, has been the biggest issue. At least before, fillers and surgery were limited accessibility, reserved only for the famous and wealthy but now anyone can get it done, especially underground through these various 'techs'. And it's sad that people feel so pressured to maintain a certain look and get bashed if they get cosmetic enhancements but get bashed even if they don't get anything done. It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. I'd like to say the root of the problem is plastic surgery but it's really how people have gotten too comfortable voicing their "opinions" on the internet along with this bizarre tiktokified commercialisation of the practice.
You have a beautiful face. Dont let them think you are not perfect the way god made you. I am 46 and I don't do anything unnatural. I embrace all my imperfections. Taught my daughter to be the same way. It's refreshing to see young people like you staying strong and loving your natural self.
I love this vid. it is so important to accept natural beauty, and stop these crazy plastic surgery looks that have become so standard where everyone wants to look the same. I'm soooo happy I stopped wanting a nose job, I LOVE my big nose now, and I make a point to no longer ever use those silly face altering snapchat filters or anything like that anymore when I decide to post the rare selfie online. I don't even have a following but I refuse to contribute to an issue im so passionate about fixing
i’m a 17 year old girl, and have felt pretty bad about my own chin for the last few months but hearing your story really helped, you truly are beautiful and if you could be told something like that and get through it and come out looking as pretty as you do today, so can i
Awe my angel you absolutely can 😭❤️ I’m happy that could help you in some way. It’s so upsetting to hear from strangers that the natural features that we have aren’t pretty but I think if you can learn to love every part of yourself nothing AND no one’s opinions can ever bring you down ❤️ your chin is amazing as it is!
13:34 absolutely child abuse.
This is so so inspiring to me because you know what it was this girl that I let my friend add to my birthday instagram group chat and my friend mentioned her grandmother passing and i felt it so deeply and I said something related to what she said and then her friend just started being so rude to me she was like not everything is about you and I cried about it :( and my friend recently told me that her friend asked why I was black and she said cuz that’s how god created her and she also made a point she was like why does she have this Christian stuff in her bio if she judges gods creations so yes thank you lael I really needed that boost of confidence 🥺🥺🦋
the funny thing is that I'm honestly yearning to get botox... for my chronic migraines. but the wait list is several years long in my region, and you can't get it privately here. Otherwise I would do it in a heartbeat. I wish it was more accesible.
I hope you can get it soon! Migraines suck. 🙁
Idk if its cause I'm neurodivergent or maybe its the over exposure to these never ending beauty standards but never in my life have I ever wanted to get work done in my life. The closest I ever came was liposection and that's cause my folks almost paid for it. But I recognised my negativity towards my weight was because of larger pressure, and that was reflected in my disordered eating. So i went to therapy and worked out more and im not a "healthy weight" but im a hell of a lot healthier.
We need to stop the normalization of plastic surgery/procedures like filler for cosmetic purposes that don't provide any health benefits or even put your health at risk. Of course, we shouldn't shame those who have gotten work done, but we shouldn't encourage it unless it's for health purposes. The plastic surgery industry primarily targets POC and women due to Eurocentric and unrealistic misogynistic beauty standards. If we put more effort into dismantling these standards (or at least acknowledge them and put effort into not paying them any mind for our mental health), then we likely wouldn't feel the need to go under the knife/syringe. If you want to change something about your face or body so badly that you feel the need to get work done, you have body dysmorphia and need to get ACTUAL treatment in the form of therapy.
It's funny you mention your jawline, because I was just looking at it, thinking it looks a bit like mine, and feeling better about my own because I think yours looks gorgeous! Thank you for this video! Such a good message.
I have always have a big tush ever since I was a teen. Everyone teased and called me names. Felt insecure until the kardashian BBL trend came out. Then realized humans are fickle and i cant change who I am. Trends and tastes will always evolve. Just make sure you wont regret it as some procedures cannot be undone!
KIDS DONT EVER HAVE WRINKLES! That woman needs her child taken away from her and that doctor needs his license revoked
I was at a college campus dropping off some food for my brother. A group of girls in their early 20’s maybe even 19 had clear signs of filler in their face. It genuinely made me a little sad because, they were all so beautiful!! They didn’t need it by no means. It made their face look odd you could see where the filler had been placed.
Girl we got the same nose! Makes me feel sooo good that someone with my nose shape still has the bump on their bridge. You are stunning (literally look like Jennifer Garner’s younger sister) and I loved this video. Agree with everything you said, everyone looks the same!
3:40 I am flabbergasted that the US actually has stronger restrictions on this than the UK.
Wait, did you just quote Adrianna Grande ,as an example of authenticity? A woman who has completely changed her face with plastic surgery?
Haven’t been here since 2018, Lael looking fine 😍❤️I’m 28 and I refuse to do anything to my face, I’ve always looked younger than I am & I’ll just stick to drinking water & taking care of my skin.
Same I feel happy to just let myself age. There’s so much peace and freedom in that. Just turned 30.
Im in my late 20s and work with some people in early 20s. Lol, everyone thinks im their age or younger. It's actually insane that these women look like they have gotten divoiced twice with 3+ kids.
for the record it isn't £30 in the UK. the cheapest one I've seen was £120 for 0.5ml
This is literally so true!!! And btw I love your videos so much leal!!! I love your music and your podcast videos🤍🎶 I never been so happy to just listen to someone talk and express themselves and be so relatable!💓 we all love you so much leal!🤍 stay safe, happy, and healthy✨
Thank you for your message of positivity and self acceptance. We need more voices like you out there. I also love that you mentioned not changing the nose of your ancestors. For years I wished I could afford a nose job and hated my nose. By age 30 I had totally embraced accepting myself the way I am. This nose was passed down from my Father and it is perfect the way it is.
I love this Lael. It’s a breathe of fresh air🫶🏼
I’m almost 27 have not gotten anything done to my face and still get confused for a 19 or 20 y/o. It’s crazy seeing people younger than me looking way older.
ANOTHER BANGER FROM LAEL
True and get it girl and you look 22, and ur hair is so beautiful 🤍 love you Lael always
oh ur back normal
As someone from New York I will say that many of the Latin women I’ve seen tend to have everything done such as nose, lip & face fillers, bbl and/or boob jobs. Often times their families will gift them these surgeries or their men will fund it. I know of many Hispanic boxers who most times come with their botched fiancés or wives looking older than their men. 😂😂😂
0:52 you could totally go to Love Island, the accent fits perfectly 😂😂
I absolutely love my wrinkles, my lines and my stretchmarks, they all tell a story, I wish all women were just happy about the way they look ❤
I just finished watching the entire video and I must have missed where the “scientifically proven” part is. Sorry if I missed the reference to the study. Thank you!
I'm a gen z and i'm just so sick of everyone comparing and judging my age as younger or older cause of my age. I'm already so insecure of my age for not catching up to the expected life milestones that I feel like I can't just exist or catch up to my age. I grew up both very infantilized and treated like an adult and older that I am so tired of trying to catch up to my age. Aging is not a gift at all cause everyone will make you aware of it as you get older.
People only point out other people's age because they are insecure about their own age. They are projecting. Best advice I wish someone told me when I was younger is 99% of people's opinions are useless noise. Only listen to people who inspire you or that you want to be like.
“She put a face on her face!” I’m crying.😂😂
The 8 yr old thing broke me I have a 8 year old I think how soft her skin is when I look at her this is sick. Also im 30 and this botox shit gets me too because i have faint smile lines and forehead lines I still look my age but its horrible that's society trying to say you cant have a single line or expression or youre "not pretty "
i was with ya till you quoted ariana grande. hard pass lmao. she is 1000% still getting fillers and did not dissolve all of her filler.
It is certainly not just in the UK, I've seen it a lot in shows particularly the US and Australia and quite a few actors, reality TV people, models and influencers get it too. I don't think we should hate on people for their looks though, it's their choice to get fillers or not and if it makes them feel happier and more confident then do it just try not to go overboard
Good for you for not letting the internet trolls make you feel like you need to modify (I don't agree with the term "augment") your face. No matter how you look, people online will always give you shit. Just do you
She just looks beautiful every time I see her 😭love the video and you leal!❤
13:51 HOW IS THIS NOT CH¡LD @BU$£?!!!
Also, your jawline is incredible. You’re gorgeous!
You definitely don’t “need” any work, you’re absolutely stunning. I think you have the natural version of the features that these people with filler are trying to achieve.
Beauty pageants should be only for legal adults. That woman injecting her daughter with botox is vile, it's child abuse. That poor girl.
