Is It Just Me, or Does Aging Feel Like a Beauty Competition We Never Signed Up For?

Some days, it feels like no serum or sunscreen can outsmart genetics. I’m 31, and despite my dedication to every skincare step—retinol, red light, collagen, SPF on repeat—my face still tells its own story. It’s tough seeing others my age look so much younger, like there’s a secret club I missed the invite to. Sometimes I wonder if all this pressure to look forever 21 is just setting us up to feel like we’re failing. Does anyone else feel like aging gracefully is harder than it should be? Or is it just me? #skincarestruggles #agingrealness #beautyconfessions #Beauty #Skincare
