A zilennial here... It took losing my elder brother, otherwise healthy, to a rare sarcoma within 6 weeks to stop obsessing over appearances. He was only 28 and just a wonderful person. So now I can't relate to anyone frustrated about changes in their face and body.
Aging? Great, what a wonderful gift for being alive long enough.
Love the video, thank you for what you do!

I hate the narrative 'each to their own' like no sorry, we're normalising the use of fillers, botox etc to such an insane level that it's completely changed our perception of a naturally aging face. Not to mention how bad some of these treatments are for our health! Botox basically causing botulism on a small scale to your facial muscles to paralyse them 😂 how f'd up is that?Wear clothes that you love/makeup/no makeup whatever...but this shit is starting to get scary. It's hard to watch ourselves aging, especially as women, but if we all start doing this shit we've lost as society.

Whoever said mid 40s is a liar. Thats ridiculous. You look so youthful. And that doesn’t mean any certain age. Just youthful and happy.

My mom passed at the age of 32. Aging is such a privilege. This was a very thoughtful video and one more reason why I've followed you for years <3

As someone who was ""model beautiful "" in their early twenties, it has taken a while to find in me the acceptance that this is sailing away. Especially when people that have known me since I was sixteen years old (twenty years ago) mention casually how beautiful I "used to be". I almost got into the botox madness. What helped me escape that madness was indeed the mental math, how much money this would cost in the long run, and I decided if I am put in an upkeep process, I want it to be for my house and my passport, not my face. The good news is I still like what I see in the mirror, not because she is beautiful but because she's me, and every scar and sag reminds me of all the trips that brought her here.

Every time I get down about looking my age I just remind myself that I have never looked at a woman older than me and thought they looked bad because of their age. So if I don't think other women look bad because they look older, why should I think that about myself? This was a great video Melanie! We owe it to ourselves to enjoy all the stages of life to the fullest.

It’s so disappointing when YouTubers accept sponsorships from better help. I encourage you to actually research this company

I've also heard that not being able to properly emote on the face causes the brain to not feel emotion in the same way bc a lot of the way we process emotion is how we express it on our face. It can supposedly cause more apathy and lack of touch with one's self/others. I thought that was interesting

The deeper problem here is: why are we so obsessed with looking young? Why does our society put so much importance on what we look like? There are so many beautiful things about us humans that matter so much more than our appearance. Loved this video and how you made it, Melanie! 🧡

Really respect you for making this video, Melanie. We need more examples of women who are aging naturally (and killing it!) - it gives us something to aspire to rather than trying to achieve the impossible task of forever looking like we’re in our early 20s.

One of my favourite images in my head is of an old artsy woman with long grey hair, maybe a white streak in the front. With wrinkles on her face from laughing and smiling and following her bliss. And wearing coveralls everywhere. Tending to her garden, painting in her workshop. That's who I want to be! Embrace aging! It's beautiful!

Also vaping! Millennials had very low nicotine use, then Gen Z rates made it spike. So bad for skin.

Thank you for talking about this. I personally think not only is Botox damaging to society and particularly young women but also young men who have an unrealistic expectation of the aging experience for women. I also believe using filters on pictures is damaging and to a lesser extent overuse of makeup. I’m a 40 year old woman living in Orange County California where the use of Botox is commonplace. I don’t dye my hair, I don’t wear makeup or use Botox/fillers. I’m raising two young boys and I plan to show them the natural aging process of a woman🤷🏻♀️

You look younger than 35. I’ve never had anything done and I just turned 48. A good skincare routine and eating right makes a big difference. Genetics is also always part of it ❤️

Fillers make everyone look absolutely ridiculous. Whoever got the masses to believe they look good with them belongs in the con-man(or woman) hall of fame. People....YOUR LIPS ARE PERFECTLY FINE!!!!

I recently started watching Sex and the City again. I'll be 32 this year and I was soooo happy to see that Carrie from the show, who is also supposed to be 32 when the show started has wrinkles around her eyes and a frowning line. I was like waw, I thought these women were beautiful and never saw their wrinkles, but now that I'm aging I'm getting hyper fixated on these details (on myself) and it was a relief to see on others around my age too. 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Two things I do want to get done in all honestly are:
1) laser/ dermapen for my face
2) eyebrow pigment (powder version) as I've lost a lot of my eyebrows unfortunately

Ironically there was an ad for Botox when I started watching

I just turned 30 and gave up social media several yeara ago. It's amazing to feel free from these beauty trends. I will never do botox or filler. I am so glad I didn't grow up with that pressure. I do sometimes feel the temptation when I see signs of aging in myself, I could never change my face though. I have a little girl and I want her to see me aging gracefully and not fighting it.
