I read this quote from Eleanor Roosevelt and it completely changed my outlook on life "You wouldn't worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do." It has allowed me to feel comfortable with going out without make-up or not worrying when my shoes don't match my outfit, because in reality, no one is really paying attention to me, they're focusing on themselves and worrying about what others are thinking of them.

Being “an ancestor” is literally meaningless. They are just deadpeople. Being dead does not grant them virtues and magical powers. If someone’s ancestors were ugly, then it makes sense they don’t want to look like them. Someone’s ancestors are George Bush and Trump and Mitch McConnell. I guess they should be proud and want to look like them too🤡

Another side to this is the financial side. I have four kids in their 20s including two daughters. So many young people cannot afford to buy a car, a house, rent, or pay back their college loans...but they spend literally thousands of dollars on high end beauty products, botox, fillers, nose jobs, lip flips, veneers, chemical peels, BBLs, boob jobs, etc. My daughters have friends who are in huge debt because of these things. And this is all driven by social media, celebrities, and the multi-billion-dollar beauty industry. So glad I was in my 20s and 30s in the 1980s and 90s....

I really, really wanted breast implants when I was younger, but I passed for 2 reasons. 1) I was afraid they might interfere with mammograms and 2) I didn't want to borrow money for that purpose. Borrowing for a mortgage or to buy a car that's necessary to get to work is different.

⁠⁠@@user-ko5ng3lm1z Well, they’re right, take an economics course and you’ll find out the harsh reality. The older generations are undeniably responsible for the current state of our economy and are the direct cause of many of the financial issues plaguing Millenials & Gen Z. I can assure you that most young people are not in debt from getting filler/botox or investing in high end skin care/beauty treatments though. We’re in debt bc we cannot afford modern day necessities, or because we went to college, or because wages aren’t keeping up with inflation. Rent is higher than ever, healthcare costs are astronomical, & any people have to choose between keeping the lights on or getting groceries for the week. People should absolutely be able to treat themselves without getting into debt, but for most people this isn’t possible because of the state of the economy. It’s the same old “avocado toast” argument all over again. It’s unbelievable that people are still okay with making others who are struggling financially feel bad for treating themselves every now and then. When debt is an issue sweeping over most of this country, that’s a sign that the problem isn’t stemming from how individuals are using their money- it’s evidence that the systems in place are NOT working. Who do you think created those systems? Not the younger gens, that’s for sure.

It wasn't just uses by celebrities 20 yrs ago..that is more Marilyn Monroe's time. It just wasn't accepted or apooen about. But people were ABSOLUTELY getting plastic surgery done! Far and wide. I think that the lack of social media back then also impacts it dramatically (how much we knew it was being done). But plastic surgery has been around for many decades now. At this point, people treat it like taking a trip to the mall in the early 00s to buy a bunch of Abercrombie and Fitch. It's the hot thing to do, to the point young girls think they need to do skincare. It's sad that people don't realise how it affects the children, and not only that but how it actually ages them and they don't actually treat their real problems, which are internal. Now you CAN have issues that are more necessary to treat, but today it's ALL about looks and people are slowly morphig into one, "uncanny valley" image! I see so many people much younger than me (I am 35) that literally look older because of the work they've had done. It's sad to see. Aging is beautiful and it's a privledge!

Indian too and thankful I grew up in a time when no one in magazines looked like me so I had no comparison. My literal brain was like, I’m not some Swedish supermodel who is 6’. That is not what I will look like. It allowed me to focus on value that wasn’t fleeting of changing, education, athleticism, work ethic. How I look is not all I have to offer because trust me, at a certain age, it’s cheaper and faster to simply let your face do what it does. It’s harder now but one thing I can tell you is that beauty standards change and trying to change yourself to meet them is a recipe for constant dissatisfaction. Curly hair is in or out, short then long, we like hourglass, heroine chic, rectangles, ridiculous. We need to focus on what we like about ourselves. Play those features up and recognize that the thing we dislike is often never noticed by the people we meet. When people say someone is beautiful, often they are responding to the personality of that person (studies show that beautiful people with ugly attitudes are downgraded and less attractive people are upgraded). You will not be beautiful to everyone either but people will still be attracted to a genuine smile and kind person.

I’ve considered maybe a little lip filler, just a bit to get a bit more fullness as they disappear when I smile. But you can’t ever get me to lose my “Roman” nose, change my chin, eyes. I use a TheraFace for LED and sub-infrared light, and a NuFace for micro current to let my cheekbones and jawline stay the way they are. My mom has never liked our more square-ish jawline, but I love it! And I don’t want to resort to full surgery to firm things up.

As a cosmetic chemist for the last 25 years the biggest advice would be: take good care of your skin from teen until 20's (it doesn't have to be expensive, consistency is key), in your 20's go from basic skincare to add a few more specific serums and such because ageing begins, in your 30's get more precice additions to your specific skincare needs, in your 40's continue with this with more hydrating and emollient products, in your 50's and beyond always take care of your skin by adressing your specific concerns. AND ALWAYS include sunscreen every day. Having had advantages because of my carrier giving me direct knowledge of how certain products are formulated and ingredients in them work (or not), I have retained the look of my skin as if I were still in my 30's...and I am 54. I've never gotten anything done to my face/neck including peels and those such things. ALWAYS extend your skincare down your neck as this is vitally important. So, my advice for the young girls out there wondering how to maintain your youthful and natural look throughout your life (not comparing yourself to the current trend) without filler, botox and whatever else others feel they need to do, just take diligent care of your skin. ❤

@20thcenturyrelic 4 ай бұрын

The only thing I'd add to your comment is that not everybody needs more "hydrating and emollient products" starting in their 40s. Some people continue to have oily skin into old age. So don't assume you need to moisturize more as you get older. Pay attention to your skin and treat it accordingly. And sunscreen ALWAYS! In my case, I've had very dry skin since I took Accutane. Heavy moisturizers are my friend! But even I don't need to moisturize as heavily in hot, humid weather.

@TheBaumcm 4 ай бұрын

The problem with any blanket advice is that no one regimen will suit all people. Best bet is to find out what works for you, learn to read your skin, get proper nutrition and hydration(the best source of all the good skin stuff), and get moving (circulation boosts nutrient supply and it stimulates collagen, especially if you are getting enough protein). Aging is individual. Everyone has a finite quantity of stem cells to repair and renew but not all have the same quantity. Appreciate your body for what it can do and does and recognize that while your skin is the biggest organ, it isn’t the only one.

@@user-ko5ng3lm1z It depends on how the serum is formulated. Many are formulated with ingredients that cannot "penetrate " the epidermis down to the dermis. The molecules are generally too large for an active ingredient to pass. There are few that do but most don't. If the ingredient were able to penetrate deep enough to work the formula would need to undergo vigorous testing through the FDA (expensive!!!) to prove that it does indeed penetrate to effectively meet the claims the manufacturer makes and would be labeled as an OTC product. So, the company that would like to make the "penetrate " claim might indeed contain contain that active ingredient at a certain percentage but cannot use that specific wording. They would probably say something like "contains an ingredient known to blah, blah, blah..." So, the formulas may have this ingredient but cannot make any claims. Or, it may not include any ingredients that actually work and word it in such a way to make it seem as though it it does. It is very complicated and everything must go through a lawyer(s) to check the wording of the product so as not to make any drug (OTC) claim. Hope that makes sense. The most common ingredient that many companies use that does NOT work is collagen. When choosing a serum or any other form of topically applied product it is imperative that you read the wording carefully. Some products do make OTC claims but can slip throught the FDA's notice and fool the customer, unfortunately. There are always some unscrupulous companies around...even big named companies. Other ingredients may work on the surface of the skin like sodium hyaluronate (draws moisture to the skin) or an occlusive ingredient that (helps keep moisture from leaving the skin). As I said before it is very complicated. Percentages of ingredients also matter in this regard but those are not privy to the consumer. I could go on and on...but there is a reason certain professional training and experience are needed by companies that manufacture skin care/cosmetics. Also, ingredient labels that list all those botanical extracts that are "good" for the skin may be in the product but just because you see them listed doesn't mean that they do anything positive for the skin. !!! You are doing some very positive things for your skin as you mentioned such as using castor oil and sunscreen. But each individual is unique and may require a more specific regimen.

You know, i recently got IPL for my broken blood vessels and i had basically a super bruised up face. It was so interesting to observe the shift on how people behaved towards me. People thought i looked younger (acne association), many looled shocked or disgusted at me (not knowing what it was), some were reallly nice (would they have been if i hadnt been like that? Was it out of solidarity? Pitty? Genuinely they didnt care?), and some were not as nice to me (screw them!). But it was so weird because in an instant i was taken from looking nice to being in a body that caused reactions in people. It was so freaking nuanced, but the thing that came to mind was that it was extremely hard to escape that feeling of self conciousness because it was very justified. I now have so much more sympathy for those who have to deal with it on their day to day.

The neverending search of “that something” missing to get a portrait right.

When my derm was injecting it, he purposely did not fill my mental crease. He said it was an important defining feature of my face and looked better natural. I appreciated that so much.

I remember thinking, "She has acne too, and she's so gorgeous!" Being able to see another through the external lens was so helpful, and your inner beauty shone through also. It began to shift in me really quickly and I will always be grateful for that! 🥰 You are one of the e-founders of my confidence! 😂❤ I hope that you have a good year, you deserve it. You have helped so many women to feel beautiful in their skin and to take better care of themselves. There is so much social media push about being your 'genuine self' while few influencers are. It's sad to see people get complimented mainly on features that they don't have. At the end of the day, they're fake features, and the impact that has on the brain psychologically over time is very negative. As you are forced to lay in bed at night and know that. It is remniscent of never being good enough or matched up to someone as a child, but the feeling will now never leave; but this time the comparison is just a shell of who you once were instead. One botched surgery and too damn bad. You can never get that version of yourself back. All of the young people that are being lied to is heartwrenching. 💔 The world needs more genuine souls like you that aren't afraid to call out these dangerously contagious trends. People need to know that they are valuable as they are, and no surgery will truly fill any inner holes or lack of confidence. They're simply another emotional band-aid for body dysphoria or image issues; just far more expensive and damaging to the psyche long term. Thank you so much for talking about this. May it pave the wave for more creators, so that this commercial beauty trap can be stopped for the next generations. 💝🌠

As someone who celebrates differences, in everything in life, I’ve never followed trends, I’ve always dressed how I feel comfortable and confident and done my makeup etc to flatter my features rather than someone else’s or what society tells us to look like and I’m glad to be different, but still in the back of your mind you think well should I try to not be so different and we shouldn’t think like that. I don’t see anything wrong with trying to look our best selves but it worries me that so many people are now having such drastic plastic surgery so they look like someone else and people are all trying to look the same. My therapist made me realise something when I was talking about feeling that I always want to cover up my rosacea and feel that I should to be ‘accepted’, he said ‘whose standards are you judging yourself by, society’s or your own’, and until then I never realised how much society conditions in us. It’s made me glad to be different and to look different and accept that that’s not just ok, it’s good. ❤

So, I think about my deathbed quite a lot. Not in a negative way, I'm a perfectly healthy 30yo woman lol. But I use it as a "will THIS matter when I'm THERE?" kinda way. I was horrifically bullied as a teen. I had super short hair that I had to buzz cut due to my trichotillomania. Now it's thick, full and so long it's passed my bum. But I so vividly remember how insecure I was. And just like my insecurity in my appearance was temporary, I must remember that outwardly beautiful things are temporary too. God willing, I will be old and wrinkly one day. And all of what I have now will have faded. Not even my own children will remember the way I look now, but they will have the older version of me in their heart and memory. I think the true way to feel beautiful, is to not have it on that high a pedistal. Will your beauty matter on your deathbed? Will you reminisce about it to your children or your spouse? Or will you be thinking of other things? Yes, beauty is something we all want, because why not? And by all means, go for it. But when it holds such value in your life, that life passes you by, maybe you need to reconsider some things and the position of priority they hold. Memento mori. Remember your death.

Everyone is so fixated on this “If I can fix this one superficial thing and perfect it, then my life will be perfect”. When you get older, from the people I have met while visiting the nursing home, what you care about are your memories, that you made them and you can hold on to them, and your mobility. It becomes really obvious, the people who spent time, and money, wisely. I struggle with this myself but am recognizing that at the end of the day, aging happens. The only way it doesn’t is if your life is cut short. I’d rather not waste any more time worrying about how young or old I look but rather focus on making my future brighter and keeping my body feeling young.

I personally believe plastic surgery etc. should require at least 1 year of psychological evaluation for patients prior to cosmetic alterations in case there is a body dispmorphic disorder situation involved.🙏🙏🙏

If they force trans people to do it, then yeah expect the cisgender people to at least go to maybe 4 months of therapy. 😂

I'm a trans woman and I plan on getting facial feminization surgery. I'm nervous to do that though because I'm afraid of being made to look the exact same as everyone else who gets facial cosmetic surgery. I want to resist the urge to go after the "beauty standard", because that's something I would be chasing forever. All I want is to look like a more "fem-passing" version of myself. I don't want some surgeon to talk me into turning my strong jawline into a heart shaped one or my prominent nose into a tiny upturned ski-slope. Many cis women already have similar features to me and I think they're beautiful. Videos like this are really helpful for me as I work myself up to getting my surgery, because if I'm going to do it I want to do it for the right reasons, be in the right head-space, and put some serious thought into what is right for me.

If it’s a good plastic surgeon they will already have in mind what you just said and I think you will feel if it’s the right person for you. Anyway, good luck.

Hi. I just thought I’d let you know the before pic you used of the infamous ‘cat lady’ is of Katie Price not the ‘cat lady’ . Different people . Katie Price has famously had a lot of work but not like that lol 😝

I was going to comment the same thing! Unfortunately, I think Katie is heading in the same direction though.

All I want are teeth. I don’t care about pores, if I’ve got ears like my dad or my mom’s nose. I WISH I could afford a dentist. It’s kind of upsetting to see people who are already attractive umm, *change* to such extreme looks.

@@Mcherri My teeth have always been awful, even as a kid. Brushed my teeth 2 or 3 times a day but parents never mentioned a thing about flossing (it might not have been as mainstream 50/55 years ago as it is now) and my 1st dental appointment came when I was in my mid to late teens. There was a dentist who offered in office IV sedation and it cost around $100.00 for a single extraction. That was a whole paycheck back in the 80’s. I’m thinking teeth are a luxury in the state of Florida and will never understand why we need separate insurance, if you can afford it, to have our teeth repaired or replaced.

@morgenmachen2400 4 ай бұрын

@@StormSongs7right. Teeth are a part of our general health. No two ways about it. From digestion issues to the food we choose to eat (because certain foods are difficult to chew whereas other less healthy foods are easier), to the plaque in our bloodstream and heart and the infections that can affect our immune system. Our whole bodies depend on having healthy teeth and mouths. This isn't some mind blowing discovery. Thankfully, at least here in Maryland, there are a variety of options for low cost dental care, including cosmetic. But IMHO dental coverage should be synonymous with health coverage and the fact that so many struggle with these issues is maddening.

I'm in the UK and I'm absolutely ROLLING at you putting Katie Price as the before to the old lady that now looks like someone with feline protestic 😂😂😂😂. They aren't the same people. Katie Price has had TONS, but they are most definitely 2 very different humans and 2 very different ages 😂😂😂😂
