Uh oh, I spotted my first wrinkle (on my face); now what do I do?

Asked by rebbel (35553points) October 26th, 2022

On my forehead.
2 inches long.
Pretty superficial still.

Anything that you wrinkly (or post wrinkly) Jellies can advice me?
Either psychological, medical, or pharmaceutical (drugstore crèmes)?

I can’t have this…..

Acknowledge the fact that you are getting older, and embrace your wisdom.

Don’t try and hide them. You’re just fooling yourself.

Keep an eye on it! Maybe it’ll go away.

Grow old gracefully. It catches up with all of us.

I’m here to testify that growing old is the shits. You’re too old to be attractive, just try to be interesting.

rebbel's avatar

I’m too attractive to be old, rather.
Give me names of treatments!!

It is a sign of wisdom. Mark it with a Sharpie.

No, no! Hide it! Get a full face lift!

Buy a tube of lanolin. That really helps. Also, use witch hazel after face washing.

Whenever I ask my doctor about a problem that is somewhat related to aging, they invariably tell me, “You’re old. That’s what your body is like now. And it’s only going to get worse. Whatever complaint you have now will be something you’d wish you had a few years from now. Believe me. Things are going to get really bad.” (* Almost an actual quote from my spine doctor).

@rebbel: “Give me names of treatments!!”

Throw away all mirrors and stop looking at photos with you in them. Or, just lean into the aging, and appreciate that today is the youngest your body will ever be.

@rebbel Ok, this joke has gone far enough! I just got an ad for a wrinkle remover on my FB page. Are you sneaking your issues on my page?

Dutchess_III's avatar

I am sorry for your tragedy @rebbel but I’m giggling helplessly right now!

I had a Dr tell me it was caused by too many birthdays.

FaceTune, Snapchat, and AirBrush – and hope you never meet in person. :-)

You can’t be rebel without a wrinkle forever.

Bourbon? Rye? Scotch? Tipple of choice and stop giving a fuck.

Grow another one to keep it company. Shouldn’t be hard.

If you asked people who see you often, I wonder if they would say oh, yes, that one’s been there for ages, and those others too. Because they see expressions on your face that you never view in the mirror.

You’re welcome.

Time to pick a gravestone and a plot on the graveyard.

Just wait until your skin turns crepey. I’m not even 50 yet!

rebbel's avatar

I’m 85.

jca2's avatar

Start wearing sunscreen every day. That’s what helps me.

This is just the beginning of your decline. It’s inevitable.

smudges's avatar

Whatever you do, do NOT get on top when having sex. OR, never look down at your partner. Trust me, I did this by accident once.

Get a mirror and try looking down at your face, right now. I’ll wait.

@rebbel, still two years younger than Aragorn. Not so bad.

I’m sorry but you are fucked. It’s the end for you.

raum's avatar

This is where someone puts Mary Hopkin – Those Were The Days on the jukebox. And you can wax nostalgic for your wrinkle-free days.

Though, honestly, wear it like a badge of honor!

Jaxk's avatar

Just remember “It’s not the years, it’s the mileage”.

I used a product that gradually made my hair darker. It was great and nobody noticed. Until Mom and Dad came to visit one day. Mom was oblivious. Dad spotted it right off!

Tell people that it’s not a wrinkle, it’s a lobotomy scar. ;)

Otherwise, if it took you 85 years to get your first face wrinkle, then you shouldn’t have to worry about your second one until you’re 170!

Dutchess_III's avatar

Rebbel….you aren’t 85!

flutherother's avatar

One day you won’t even notice that wrinkle because of all the other wrinkles that have grown up around it. Life is for living in the moment. Enjoy that wrinkle while you can.

LuckyGuy's avatar

Start growing some facial hair like this guy.
