I think she indirectly invites curiosity about her age BECAUSE during her lives,
She needs help, this isnt normal, the way the rest of her community would have already called this tit out if it was an influencer but she gets a pass?!?! She must truly shock people who see her in real life
Hope she gets the therapy she needs
I am rather astonished by how widely Alex's abuse of beauty filters and face editing apps goes under the radar. I am also wondering why she gets a free pass because many other influencers would be called out left, right and centre for this sort of practice.
It seems Alex just can't bear to present her appearance as it is. I get it. The pressure to look young is immense but neither I nor any of my friends would go to such extreme lengths of dishonest practice to pretend on social media to make ourselves look 20-something.
I don't think Alex will ever talk about perimenopause in any capacity and how it's affecting her hair or skin like many other content creators her age are right now. Alex can't stomach the idea of anybody knowing her age, period. It's all suggestive of a very insecure personality.
I’m 37 and getting older scares me 🫣
I miss my 37 year old face.

My face was holding up quite nicely until last year. Last year at 44-going on-45 is when I started to notice laxity in my skin and my eyelids are beginning to sag a little although, if I get a really good night's sleep, it's not so bad. I'm still comfortable with my physical appearance right now. Let's see what I say at 50!
I refuse to be ashamed of how long I've lived. I'm only scared of suffering with disease. I do dread the idea of my health declining too sooner than I'd hope to the degree I can't be self-sufficient. As long as I can bathe myself, walk with relative ease and not have to depend on anyone to take care of my basic needs, I don't mind ageing and I don't mind everyone knowing how old I am.
But ageing is a privilege. In my life, two of my classmates died before I'd left secondary school. I lost a friend during my early 20s. An old classmate died at 37 from cervical cancer so I'm thrilled to still be here at 46.
My mother would always tell people her age and add an extra year on to milk compliments.
I think Alex indirectly invites curiosity about her age during her LIVE chat sessions BECAUSE she declares quite repetitively that she has exceptionally good skin. "I'm lucky. I have REALLY good skin" "The reason why I have such good skin ....." etc etc
So I think it's quite natural for people to want to know how old she is to gauge just how impressed they should be by the condition of her complexion. Also, like I said, she is often mentioning in passing, "I'm not 22 anymore ..." or "I'm not 25 anymore ..." and it just stirs up curiosity.
Actually, during the TIKTOK Live last evening, it was weird when she said something in particular. People kept asking her about retinols and she suddenly became rather impassioned, expressing how she does not use retinols ONLY peptides. She said "You do NOT need to use retinols to have good skin!" and when someone said, "That's not what dermatologists say!" Alex appeared a bit defensive, took a big breath like she was about to launch into a rant and then she stopped herself and said, "Y'know what? I was about to say something not cool. Yeah, I want to say something that is not cool ..." but she just took a moment and calmed herself and just went with, "Listen .... I'm just going to say it ... I have REALLY GOOD SKIN." and then she explained that her skin is remarkably good and she's living proof that perhaps "actives" like retinol and AHA acids are not the answer.
Anyway, just felt like sharing that tidbit. Maybe she's right. She absolutely does have very good skin. She said she's never had acne in her life which I envy because I had terrible acne in my 20s.
I so wish she had just said the "not cool" statement she was on the brink of blurting out but she stopped herself. I am wondering if she was going to say something a bit catty like "I have better skin than all the other skincare influencers and I'm the ONLY one that doesn't promote acids and retinols". I just got the feeling that she was leading up to saying something like that but she stopped herself and admitted what she was almost about to blurt out would not have been "cool".
