Wrinkles- what has happened?

I’m not sure who Paw is to you but obviously someone very close. I nursed my partner and after he passed I noticed a total change in my face , it’s grief and it marks us physically as well as psychologically. I think all the crying leaves it’s mark .You loved whoever this person was , there is future and you are more than the evidence life leaves on your face as we all are xx

I feel I reached a stage when not only the lines started to appear but the power of gravity also took over my face. Nothing, just nothing stops it or camouflages it. My DH too has had health issues for past 20 years last 13 really almost palliative.

Not sure why that expression has become so popular, MissAdventure, or exactly what it means but I think it's horrible and a bit sexist.

I just buy into the dream and believe the blurb on all those face creams. Sadly the mirror tells me otherwise. ?

I need to ask what a Resting Bitch Face is, please?
The trouble is, I'm sure I have one.

I just look so tired and angry and careworn.

My mother would have simply said. "Better than the alternative!" The older she became the more she used that phrase

Don't mind the wrinkles so much but dark circles and "resting b***h face" are my horror stories. Good concealers and correctors deal with the former, and a permanent grin with the latter. Luckily I'm a fairly cheerful person so it's not so difficult - or maybe the treatment has side effects?

I'm just surprised the grandchildren don't cry when they see me

I'm a bit concerned about your nose thuberon!!

My granddaughter did this drawing of me. I heard myself asking her "what are all those lines on my face?". There was no need for an answer.

Not enough hair, but I am growing it!

You could have both!

A Croyden face lift.....tight ponytail.?

Oh!
Perhaps not.

I meant a tight pony tail
Or is that an Essex facelift?

I think that’s a black eye!

I'm glad it made someone happy !!
(But not me, I need Croydon eye job)

Callistemon ? that gave me a laugh!

I look in the mirror and see Paddy Ashdown's twin sister staring back at me.
Now, that rather craggy, crinkly eyed look may have looked great on Paddy (I think it did, anyway) but it doesn't translate at all well on a female face.

I'm mid-60's so a bit younger than some. I don't have too many wrinkles or grey hair but suddenly everything is sagging. My face is on my chest, my chest is round my nether regions and I'm not saying where my nether regions are!

Ah well, while we're still living and breathing, let's enjoy it - the alternative doesn't much appeal.

Funnily enough I found an answer to the selfie problem. What's app has a sort of magic thing that gets rid of all the wrinkles. It makes me look how I think I do! My mum was very active and never looked her age until early 70s. Suddenly she was a little old lady. Not that she ever thought so.

I was shocked when my GD drew a picture of me. She had drawn me with my mouth turned down. I looked in the mirror and saw what she saw. I do try now to smile but can't go around all the time with an inane grin on my face!

Wow that strange old woman sure gets about , I saw this her this morning briefly, scared me alright !! ?

LullyDully, when the strange woman is not at your house, she’s at mine.
She catches me unawares too ... it’s quite disconcerting.

?

I find it helpful never to look in the mirror with my glasses on. My reflection is magically so much less wrinkly!

I use the same tactic to avoid seeing dust up the stairs etc. - just have to make sure I have glasses on if having a bit of a blitz when someone's coming to stay.

I had quite a shock yesterday when I looked in the mirror with my reading glasses on. Shan’t do that again.
