“i want to age awkwardly and clumsily” is genuinely such a good and important line and i really appreciate it

I feel like "Aging gracefully" is about, like, leaning into your aging and developing your style alongside it, not about desperately trying to prevent it

As an older millennial, who has taken pretty good care of himself, I can attest that these people will have a rude wake up call when they realize that no matter what they do, aging does in fact happen.

The saddest thing about that anti-wrinkle straw is that it's actually supposed to be like, a disability aid. It was not invented with anti-aging in mind. But of course tiktok girlies co-opted it 🙄

I think the stress of trying to not sleep on your face, doing a 281-step skin care routine, trying not to smile, frown or move your face at all… will probably age you way faster than just enjoying your life

“People think I have Botox because of my flawless skin” no honey because you can’t move your face

Esthetician here: Reminder that emotionless girl has no proof that not showing emotions will prevent wrinkles. She won't know until she gets much older, which she will inevitably get wrinkles anyway because everyone's collagen and elastin dies and there's nothing you can do about it 😊 also a large portion of good skin is genetics.

as someone who’s suffered with depression and suicidal tendencies me getting older is a massive achievement i didn’t think i would get past age 15 seeing myself grow and change is so important for me

So basically just become an NPC 1. No emotions allowed 2. Stand in a T pose position at all times 3. No eating or breathing

I can't imagine being so terrified of having wrinkles that you would refuse to show emotion. It just sounds like a really miserable existence . . .

Wait, so to avoid aging it is best to become Gollum - live in a dark cave where nothing happens (which means you don't have to emote), eat raw meat and eggs, sleep on the ground, get possessed by a piece of jewellery created by a fallen angel solely to do evil

im afraid of aging, but its not the physical appearance. im afraid of losing those i love, and maybe even regretting things ive done in the past, losing my agility, etc. so, i enjoy life to the fullest, enjoy the moment. aging is natural, and we should embrace it.

the fact that people would rather sacrifice smiling, sleeping and laughing to fit into a beauty standard is so horrifying. I hope these people are okay. :(

Finding out that a tik toker stops herself from laughing, sleeping comfortably and literally going outside just to fit into a beauty standard truly is some dystopian hellscape shit. Like first I laughed at how privileged and out of touch she is, but then I thought about how many meaningful life experiences she would have missed out on despite having the time and money for it and that shit's just sad.

"What causes laugh lines and how to avoid them. 1. Laughing causes them. 2. Don't laugh. Ever.

The fear of aging is called Gerascophobia, from the Greek root gerasko meaning “I grow old”

Eating raw eggs feels like throwing up backwards

the segment showing how much money the products cost is underrated... if tiktok is making you feel insecure about how you care for your skin, please just remember that there's a whole industry that stands to profit from you feeling that way.

I wrote a whole ass essay about this in school lmao. Aging isnt bad, its a testament to the experiences and wisdom you've gathered during your life. Sure it doesn't help that the media demonizes aging but still, it sucks.

If to be loved is to be changed, then to love life is to let it change you.

You know what ages you faster than all those things? Stress and anxiety. Constantly thinking about how everything is causing wrinkles is going to age all these people lmao

"Anti-aging" tips from like a 20-something is so funny to me. You avoid wrinkles because you're a literal child not because you trained your face not to smile 🤣

"Let's talk about what causes laugh lines" joy!!! love!! positivity!!! fuck off and let me live my best life!!

The fact that sneako made a reaction video to this and insulted you means you're definitely doing something right

I feel like that "anti-wrinkle" straw was actually invented for people who are medically unable to purse their lips. I feel like physical limitations is something none of these "clean girls" have ever had to really think about. It's hard to have a biggest fear be getting wrinkles or losing some elasticity when real aging problems - like losing mobility or mental function - exist.

I watched this while sitting upright, staring down at my phone, outside, in the sun while laughing using all face muscles. I’m practically deceased at this point.

smooth lady there giving me big uncanny valley vibes unfortunately

Any time anyone brings up wrinkles to me, a 19 year old, i just show them my hands and say I'm native. There's no way I'm not wrinkling and frankly age is a wonderful thing, you have so many more stories and lessons to tell. My family has always given the most status and power to the oldest women, and it's a birthright i couldn't imagine being upset about. Perks of a matrilineal society I guess

It's so weird to me that people have this entire lifestyle involving preventing something that's inevitably going to happen and is harmless

Imagine doing all that just to die at 26 after slipping in the bathroom

It’s incredible what teaching children to hate and fear about themselves will do to their psychological well being as an adult.

Ageing is such a gift, so many in this world never get to grow old and live their life. I remember a time when I thought I wouldn't be here past the age of 16, I'm 24 now and finally feel like I'm able to live my life on my terms. Laugh lines, wrinkles and more are signs that my body is living, of enjoyment and happiness, I want all of that and more.

Honestly the one twitter user was right, aging is infinitely less worrisome than whatever in the world is going on with the people who are terrified of aging.

Clean girls, worried about aging: oh no, wrinkles me, a nurse, also worried about aging: oh no, arthritis, incontinence, sensory decline, memory loss, arteriosclerosis, low impact fractures, boredom, possibly ending up completely dependant...

I'm a teenager with faint lines of forehead wrinkles due to my over exaggerated facial expressions, yet not once has it crossed my mind that people would go this far to prevent the inevitable or put down others for simply living by their own preferences. smh

To clarify: sleeping on your side or face doesn’t actually necessarily cause wrinkles. It can make them more prominent when you get older but it isn’t important to make them not be there. They don’t cause any significant or even any health problems and your face looks more beautiful when it shows the smiles you’ve had and how good of a life you’ve lived.

Remember when it was all the rage to keep a plastic cover on your couch, and then people realized they’d rather have a slightly worn couch that was more comfortable to sit on?

Aging is a privilege many don't have. Embrace and appreciate your beauty as you grow physically and mentally.

8:07 I really appreciate this extra shot. I won't sleep for the next 3 years. At least i won't have to worry about aging unevenly 😊

Okay so I did the numbers for 1:47 In total, thats about 652.90$ Its honesty impressive that these folks have the energy/motivation to do this every time

Gonna start a pro aging routine where I just smile really hard for an hour every day

That face training one made me genuinely concerned for the young woman's wellbeing. To have this level of obsession is unhealthy.

this scares me bc what are they going to do when they inevitably do show a sign of aging? when you build your whole life around something that WILL happen, you surround yourself with people whose love for you hinges on it and you lose everything when it does.

"What are crowsss???" Had me on the floor thx chadchad

The anti wrinkle straw came up in my instagram explore page, and I commented that if you’re this concerned about aging it’s time to seek professional help. Someone said I don’t know how worried this girl is about aging and ranted at me. Dude, she was literally the “I trained my face not to move” girl. I get preventative skin care. I get using sunscreen, because skin cancer is no joke. I also do some of these things, but jesus christ. Aging is a gift not everyone gets. Not to be too dark, but I was so depressed once I didn’t think I’d see 16! I’m about to turn 25, an age I couldn’t even envision. I’m seeing the lines that have come from smiling, laughing, and days in the sun because I’ve lived. I’m blessed to age, and to get to see the physical traits I gained from loving my life!

I fear the day where I will see hundreds of completely smooth grandmas roaming the streets.

Once a girl at my school tried giving me a whole 5 step skincare routine to get rid of my under eye bags. No, I don’t want to get rid of them. Yes, these are concerning and have become half my personality! If you don’t have eye bags you scare me! what are you not tired about?

randomly remembering tge one tumblr user i saw in the wild, who claimed AGING was not a natural process. Also that anyone who claimed they were entirely wrong, was supporting genocide. Yes those were the words they used

as someone with an ACTUAL skin disease which is gonna make my skin age sooner than other people my age, this type of content affects me SO much, not to mention that I can't even use most of these products because of how sensitive my skin is. it came to a point where I had to cover my mirror just so that I don't have to see my 'ugly' face. my parents eventually did get me therapy and it's getting better each day but it definitely just became one of my many reasons for deleting TikTok

The “apply sunscreen to protect your face” to “never smile ans train your face muscles to not move” pipeline is scary

i am absolutely dying at the "skin scare" part. those pictures caught me so off guard.

Don’t stand up. Gravity will pull your face skin down.

“aging gracefully” is supposed to mean aging naturally and NOT going out of your way to try to prevent your physical appearance from changing (i.e. “fighting”aging) lol I can’t believe they appropriated a phrase to mean the exact opposite of what it actually means

Aging gracefully really should mean “allowing myself to age in a natural manner and not trying to desperately cling to every shred of ‘youth I have left’ by dying my roots every other day so no one can tell I’m greying like a normal person does”

Wrinkles are a reminder that the Earth is pissed that you last this long. Keep on Keeping on!

Omg Chad was giving coraline in the beginning of the video with the yellow jacket such a cutie 😩

I saw this quote once and it’s always helped me keep things in perspective when it comes to aging: “growing old is a privilege denied to many” I don’t know who said it, but I think about it often. This world has tried to take me out of it a few times, so I think it’s an honor I’m old enough to get wrinkles in the first place. I wish society didn’t make women hate something that should honestly be seen as an accomplishment.

a few of the people in these tiktoks mention working in plastic surgery clinics. i'm sure there's no connection between that and their dedication to making young women deeply insecure about their appearance though, must just be a funny coincidence

a lot of these is sleeping on your back but when I DO sleep on my back it gives me sleep paralysis

When my sibling and i talk about these kinds of things, what we always come back too is, what's the point? What's the long-term goal? At 60 you still look 30, but you have no signs of a life well lived and enjoyed, and you've spent all your time making sure you don't look your age instead of making the most of life. What's the purpose?

I think we should just peel off our skin and hang it to dry, preserving it for decades to come. On special occasions we may wear it to show how little our preserved skin has aged.

the hatred of ageing is genuinely so sad. it is such a beautiful privilege to grow old! every wrinkle is a sign you have emoted, every change is you evolving as a person! not everyone gets the chance to grow old, we should cherish it. we should also not spend our lives punishing ourselves for an unattainable level of ‘health’ that is more based on luck and genetics anyway. eat what you want, do what you want, and enjoy the short time you have on this beautiful planet!

1:46 out of pure curiosity I summed up all the skincare products' prices. it's 610.90$

"I want to age awkwardly and clumsily. I wanna trip and fall through time and then cannonball into my casket, then I want my casket sent through a Wipeout course" - Chad Chad (not really), 2022 Words to live by.

As a physics major I love the implication that gravity just stops affecting your face when you lay on your back.

I just turned 30 and I work at a university, primarily with freshmen, and last week when I mentioned my birthday they were all shocked at my age and saying I looked “sooooo young”. And I think that’s part of the problem is that society teaches us that 30 is old.

i’m a teenager with the beginnings of crows feet by my eyes, because when i smile i REALLY smile with my eyes. and ykw?? it makes me happy. it means i’ve been happy. i’ve been joyful, i have loved, i do love.

absolutely maddening but it's almost the kind of thing that could make me feel like there's something wrong with me. when I'm asleep, how am I supposed to control my position?

A face marked by the many expressions you made throughout your life is infinitly more beautiful than a smooth unmoving botox face. We're humans, no robots.

Fun fact! A russian man was hit by a proton beam from a particle accelerator on half of his face. He survived, but he now suffers from seizures and is deaf on one ear, but the half of his face that was hit has no wrinkles. Just don’t tell those people about that because next thing they are yeeting themselves into the CERN.

Wrinkles from smiling make people more likable change my mind

Getting into beauty tiktok and coming out the other end looking like a cenobite from Hellraiser.

honestly whatever these "anti-aging" people are doing is WAY scarier than the actual process of aging. like teaching yourself to not emote just to avoid wrinkles... they're like one step removed from just putting their brain into a robot shell or something

As an artist, getting to learn to draw faces changed my whole view on beauty. I'm gonna be honest and say that deliberately making your faces uneven to make them more natural and pleasing taught me a valuable lesson. I find beauty and intricacy in wrinkles, skin imperfections, bumps, scars and bruises; they're what adds details and tell stories without the need for words. Drawing a smooth and perfect face is boring. This view on art is what made me marvel at imperfections and love every single one of them! I am excited to age and see my body change to reflect my life experiences! True beauty, in my opinion (as beauty has always been subjective, after all), is found within the marks that life has left upon you, as each and everyone of them tells a story, a memory. It is hard to love your body all the time, and it is okay to hate it sometimes. It's the bad days that make the good days shine. But I dearly wish for each and everyone of you to find pride in yourself and the marks your stories left upon you. ❤️

The thing about skincare is that pretty much none of it has shown any anti aging results when studied clinically. There's one (I forget the name) but it's only at a specific concentration, given by prescription, and only works slightly, on fine lines. Sunscreen and moisturise. That's all you can do

Kids are learning this stuff. Kids are having this stuff shovelled down their throats and their parents aren’t parenting them enough to stop them. This is it, gen Alpha are screwed.

not to sound corny but my dad died very young. I may get frustrated with wrinkles one day but aging is a privilege he was never afforded. This culure of antiaging can be toxic and I'm so happy you're speaking about it❤

i don’t understand why people are so scared of ageing and wrinkles. it’s a natural thing and everyone gets it so why should we be ashamed of it?

“Oh no! Wrinkles are gonna kill me!” -Every non ager ever

The fact that we were both Coraline for Halloween in 2022🤪🤪😭😭💀💀

Kind of long story about my face wrinkles- I was in my late 20s and I was feeling pretty crappy about all the frown and smile lines I was noticing on my face. I work with disabled adults, and I had a client who was deaf and couldn't speak, but he signed and read lips a little bit. He didn't really take to anyone, but he always seemed to like me most even though I didn't really do anything different than anyone else. I can't sign, but he seemed to understand me when I spoke to him. We had a meeting with him and his mom, and he was signing to her and pointing at me smiling the whole time. Afterwards, she pulled me aside and told me that he was saying that he loved working with me and that I always made his day, because even though he couldn't hear me, my face was so expressive and "loud" that he felt like he could. And that I was the easiest to "talk" to. I had been told my whole life to "fix your face" because I've always been so dramatic with my expressions, and I knew that's why I had the wrinkles I did so young. It made me feel really good that my wrinkles had meant something more, that they meant that I had spent my life expressing my true feelings in every way possible, and that it made life a little more enjoyable for someone else. I love my wrinkles now and every emotion they represent

"Everyone says I had Botox. I haven't." Yes you have.

“But… do you like yourself?” Holy shit she’s fucking hilarious

I feel like the stress and anxiety that they provoke from telling you to have a 2483832 step skincare, sleeping in certain ways, not going out, not laughing or having emotions is worse than aging

tiktok kids really think 25 years old is midlife crisis

I’m autistic, my special interest is sharks, last Saturday I went to the Aquarian and my face started hurting from smiling to much before I even got to the car. It made me think about those people who don’t allow themselves to express pure joy because they’re scared of a natural unharmful process

cant believe how familiar you looked to coraline when you were wearing the yellow cardigan

Aging is a symptom of being alive

the one where she judged a supposed commenter saying that her skincare routine is too hard for them just makes me SO MAD. like istg not everyone is a rich white girl who can afford to "stay young forever". theyre playing right into the beauty industry's hands. all this does is make people afraid of aging.

I hate that aging is looked down upon so much but I think what I hate the most is that 'laugh lines' and the lines that appear when you smile a lot are treated like something to fix or be ashamed of. The fact that someone's happy enough that it shows literally all the time(for lack of words and better description) is absolutely beautiful :( these people seem like they're miserable if they structure their entire lives around keeping the same face they had when they were 18

"What are crows"... Your comedy is gold.

Sleep on my back? No. On my front, head to the side, one leg up and bent at the knee. On your back? Hah, stupid.

FUN FACT: The raw egg thing is NOT meant to be eaten raw in the US. In places where eating raw eggs is a common thing , for example, Japan, they have to go through extensive cleaning and bacteria checks to make sure they are safe to consume raw. The US does not eat raw eggs as a common thing so they do not go through this

When Chad Chad rang the doorbell, my dog barked. Unfortunately, this caused premature wrinkles on her furry snout, so I started her on a strict morning, afternoon, and nighttime skincare routine. We've also been working on her face muscle training which has made her look 30 years younger! She's just sperm now because we have been so successful in her anti-aging journey. Thank you for ringing that doorbell, Chad Chad. My dog looks, sounds, and swims younger.

I’m sliding into home base looking wrecked as hell. They will know I lived and went out with a bang.

I got my first grey hair last year at 27 and I was psyched. I love my wrinkles and scars and spots. Love being a human and showing my years on my body.

Fun fact: in the US, "nutritionist" is an unregulated title. Anyone can claim to be one. Registered Dietician is the regulated title for a medical professional.

i’m 43, and I absolutely love TikTok and KZfaq. I’m a stay at home mom so I am on either platform pretty much all day. Being 43, I can tell you that the amount of emphasis placed on the horrors of aging hurts my heart almost every day. It’s media telling teenagers and 20 somethings “you don’t wanna end up like this!”. Arrow pointing at me. I’ve aged gracefully, but I do have laugh lines on my face, I do have a tummy, I do have stretch marks from my pregnancy with my daughter. And I’ve never really had a problem with them, but the amount of contents that’s been drilling negativity into my head daily is really just telling me that I am a picture of what not to become. And I’m 43! I think I’m pretty.

every time i rewatch this it strengthens my resolve to take care of myself so i can grow old and become what all these people hate. beating my depression and anxiety with pettiness
