Inside The Mind of A Novice to Wrinkles

Posted in: Wrinkles Published: January 7th 2016

Do photos lie? Ever looked at a recent photo of yourself and thought how different you look compared to your last glance in the mirror? Often photos capture a completely new angle we’re not used to seeing in the mirror. You may notice something you don't like or you might look at the picture thinking it exceeded your expectations. Other times, on another positive note, your camera’s filter identifies you with a flawless complexion and you don't pause for a moment to doubt it either, you believe it in all its entirety to be the true reflection of you.

Say in the case, you saw something which you didn't like; a fine wrinkle around your smile, two worry lines between your brows, or maybe crows nests around the eyes. It may shock you at first, like your first grey hair. If your picture has been taken on holiday, the sun is very good at highlighting lines and revealing your skin in a new light. But till now, you’ve always been used to an ironed out complexion. So after for 40 years, its natural if your first reaction is to think ‘what right does this line have to be here’?

As Days Go By

Each day you examine the line and slowly you may start accepting its presence, perhaps still questioning what caused it.

‘Have I been frowning too much in my sleep?’

‘Did I squint for too long on holiday?’

‘Do I smile too wide?’

‘Am I stretching my mouth out too much when I brush my teeth?’

Most probably you will be the only one who ever notices, normal for any individual when it comes to appearances. However, often it is more healthier, mentally, for us to let go of our personal expectations especially when it comes to every fine detail on our body.

Losing Sleep and Social Time

The biggest worry for women when they first see a wrinkle, is whether they are ageing before their friends. Most circles of friends carry a competitive streak inside them, no matter how caring and close they are towards each other. Meeting friends, when you're the first one with wrinkles, can become a strain and often some women can lose sleep over it, awaking each night to remind themselves that wrinkles are appearing and feeling stressed because they're unsure of how they can find a solution to get rid of them. Applying more makeup to cover up wrinkles can make them more noticeable, as make up such as foundation and powder will sit inside the wrinkle, making the skin tone looking uneven.

It helps to gain a second or third opinion from family, friends and even a medical professional on how you look. If they say it’s nothing, then most likely it is. If they agree on the presence of wrinkles, then consider a mild gentle filler to begin with, just to treat any fine lines. If it helps your self esteem and makes you feel yourself again, there’s no harm in using a natural hyaluronic acid gel filler.
