I love that you regularly remind people that they don’t need stuff that is heavily marketed to them.
Absolutely!
Even the term “anti aging” is problematic. Aging isn’t a curse. It’s a gift that many will never experience.
@no I’m not a kpop pfp 🙄 (sheacy) But… It’s not an illness. Sound eerily like a friend who likened her psychopathic husband to someone with a head injury.
@Shark Island but the whole point is that youthful shouldn’t be what is seen as desirable. also if you do fret about every wrinkle or any little sign of aging then that does seem quite stressful to me. that’s not a peaceful way to live
You can prevent it
Plenty do make it
It’s not special
And there is no such thing as anti aging or else the billionaires or celebs who can afford everything would have not aged. Our dna cells change all the time all our organs and skin is organ no cream or product will stop that even without wrinkles still tell someone is more mature. Nothing wrong with this. This is all misogyny against women because women the only one pressured for this and some men like to shame women because they don’t see women as people but just for their own pleasure.
@IndieVal THIS! YOU SPOKE MY MIND
You’re the exception for sure and that is fabulous. I wish I did the same. Most women do think of aging, even when they’re young. I know I did for sure.
You said it right, dr Dray! Thank you!
My aunt told me when I was young that if she could go back in time she would never forget sunscreen on the backs of her hands, neck, and on the eyes. She’s so stunningly beautiful anyway ♥
Love how honest Dr. Dray is about this topic. Thank you Dr. Dray!
I was too busy raising my girls in my 20’s! Also, I never looked at my mother, grandmother, Aunts and thought, oh my, look at those wrinkles! No, we saw their character as their asset. Am I ever glad I grew up in a different decade!
So true!!!!! I hate how social media has warped and brainwashed societies around the world!
You are so right!!!! I never ever thought of how many wrinkles I would get when I get older. And I’m so shocked how many girls nowadays in their 20s are already getting botox and fillers! There is definitely pressure in our society!!
Yeah I just turned 40 and never thought about what I would look like at this age. I can’t afford procedures and the like so I have accepted that I am going to age as the good Lord decides and that’s okay.❤👍
My first YouTube comment ever to say thank you, Dr. Dray. I needed to hear this. The culture around beauty is bordering on toxic, ageist and even sexist at times. It’s a relief to hear this reminder that skin care is ultimately about health, not about striving to meet impossible beauty standards that defy nature. Aging is inevitable, and it’s a gift.
It’s predominantly sexist though. It is heavily marketed towards women.
@adri Largely because we’ve allowed old men to set the standards! Yes, it’s 100% sexist!
I feel so sad, my grandmother has many wrinkles and she is so beautiful. I thought she was so beautiful when I was a child and then I heard people on the internet talk about how wrinkles are ugly and you NEED to get rid of them ASAP, through Botox and fillers and surgery. That is upsetting.
Ironically skincare is the easiest step but eating healthy, exercising, sleeping is the tough part
You didn’t get the message. No one stay young no matter what you do you will age and being obsessed with this is pathetic and sad. It’s all misogyny against women because i don’t see men pressured any of this. Years of feminism and things are not getting any better now when there is bunch of toxic males who shame and blame women for every problem in their life.
@Desert Moon lee That wasn’t the message. The message was to look after yourself and otherwise not worry about the inevitable, and that it was sad that younger people are dwelling on the inevitable.
These axioms that are freely thrown about regarding what men or women do or don’t experience aren’t helpful. There’s a steroid and SARM epidemic amongst younger men. Cosmetic and skin care is surging year on year.
Society would be in a much better place if a group of bitter, middle class, pseudo-academics hadn’t started pushing a divisive cult on the US youth, which aims to fragment everybody into small grievance groups in the name of ‘progress’.
@jwt2010sound sound old and crusty (at least your opinions are) maybe you should moisturize more?
I agree so much. I used to get kinda down noticing my skin changes with time but now I realize I am so much more than a line on my forehead lol. If anything lines are a testament of a life I have been blessed to live and all the rich experience and knowledge I gained. The brainwashing around aging and everything you need to buy to try to stop it is indeed sad and predatory.
Amazing reminder that aging is a natural part of life, to be embraced and even cherished, not to be feared.
I’m 22 and just feel so *old* .I know it’s absolutely ridiculous but I can’t get the feeling to go away. I’m graduating soon and just have so much anxiety and uncertainty about my future… I think I’m realizing that skincare is so comforting to me because it’s something I can ‘control’
Hi, I’m 32 and I used to feel the same and honestly the only thing I regretted about my 20’s is that feeling, I know it’s not easy to get rid off but try to deal with anxiety as guidance. Put it in learning something useful in your career and a hobby, workout daily even in your room and move your body outside, simple habits will make you feel grounded at least until to start something but most importantly, always try new things know different people always tell yourself my 20’s for fun and learning I’m in the perfect age for that, in your 30’s estimate that knowledge 💕 sorry for unwanted advice but I really was lost in my 20’s and hate to someone suffer from a feelings that were perfectly ok 💕 I hope to hear your experience sure, but if it’s not possible for now please remember that your feelings are valid 🌟 and it’s trying to tell you something to move forward not to bring you down 🌠
Sorry for my English too
@Mammi thank you for the kind words- you made me feel much better just now. I will try not to think so much about getting older and just enjoy each day as it comes. Thank you and best of luck to you 💕 🙏
I am 24 and I cried so much, I was devastated on my birthday. Aging was always a bad topic to bring up in my family especially with my grandmother who didn’t even want to be called grandma. I fear looking and feeling older, and I’m so scared to age that I’m trying to make big life changes, more than buying these substances from the store. You have made me think so much more about what skincare is for myself, and what self care is for myself, and I dont want to be afraid of aging at 24. I know social media is all weird about content, but your videos are so much more than content for someone like me, who is so afraid of living in their own skin. You’re a voice that really gives me something to look inward about.
I hear so much anguish in your message about getting older. It’s okay, that’s what we are supposed to do. I knew another women who did not want her grandchildren to call her grandma in public. I can’t imagine that. As a grandmother of 6 granddaughters and a great granddaughter on the way, I hold that title with honor and I could shout it from the rooftops! Please don’t be hard on yourself. You are young. Every birthday is a gift!
Absolutely! Wrinkles are a sign that you’ve smiled, laughed, cried… it’s a privilage to grow old!
Wow I love this!
I started thinking about that when I was 19, but I wasn’t doing anything more than washing my face and using sunblock everyday. When I hit 25, I began religiously taking care of my skin. I wouldn’t freak out about it, but I’ve always believed prevention is always the better option when you know the inevitable outcome. Like not taking chances on skin cancer. I’ve used sunblock every single day in the summer in my teen years, even if it was just for a drive to meet up with friends for lunch. Looking back all these years later, I believe it has really benefited me.
When I talked with other mother’s about Christmas gifts for our teens, I was shocked at how many asked for skin care products for Christmas. Practically all of them asked for anti aging skin care, eye lash serum, teeth whitening, etc… I mean, good for them to have a early start, but I don’t want that to be their main focus.
Dr. Dray, it recently occurred to me that the most important thing is to be happy as I am. I take care of myself, but the beauty industry keeps moving the finish line. No matter how much you do, you should always be doing (spending) more. There’s nothing so freeing as saying, “I’m perfect as I am now.”
