On ageing and beauty...been thinking of the divine Françoise Hardy who died this week. Here she is aged 50 when she collaborated with Blur. Ok, she was stunning to begin with and had beautiful bones. But it's striking how she aged naturally, hair turning white, lines on her face, no apologies for being whatever age she was and full of grace and elegance. Couldn't be further from the influencer aesthetic. RIP Françoise.

I’m so sick of everyone having the same “Instagram face”. I don’t even think it makes them look youthful, they’d look way younger with some frown lines and imperfect brows.
It will go one of two ways, either everyone with money will have tweakments, so you will be able to identify the poor easily, or lack of symmetry will become the unattainable “look” and people will be having wrinkles put in and hair transplants in their eyebrows 
ETA it’s going to be weird growing up as the child of tweakment parents, there will be a stage where the child might display a feature that the parent has revised, but the child won’t be old enough to have it “tweaked”

I do know someone who had a nose job so she looked more like her mother (who had also had a nose job).
Also there is that Harvard study about how children who have botoxed mothers display less empathy - thought to be because they don't learn to read micro expressions from their mother's blank face.
It's so basic. Sali had a really distinct look back in the day and that really set her apart. She could be anybody's rich mum now.
It wasn't that distinctive - sort of an ageing-out manic pixie dream girl via Keren from Bananarama. But yes, unique compared to her current cloned look
Yeah, reading that back I made her sound like Bjork! At least she was not the basic blonde botox insta hun she is now.
I really wish people would realise that it's genetics more than anything that dictates how well* you'll age. Sick of the identical 40 somethings trying to look younger and it's especially depressing watching beautiful 20 somethings getting botoxed/filled to the hilt when it's completely unnecessary. I have a 26 year old colleague who is genuinely a classic beauty but she already has a frozen forehead and a tonne of filler and as a result, looks like a 15 years older woman trying to look younger.

I've been pondering her glycerin article and am really baffled as to what the point of it was. She said its in almost all skin products and olways has been and is amazing. Well so what? So is water. What are we supposed to do with this information? If we are to follow her bizarre hotel analogy it's like a hotel reviewer saying 'an amazing thing about hotels is they all have sheets. Nobody appreciates sheets like me. They are an unsung hero. I'm not going to recommend any hotels this week I just want an appreciation of sheets'.
How is this pointless drivel actually getting approved?

Did it have aff links? That would be how.
I'll check but I don't think it did. She didn't mention any brands or products at all. It was an essay 'why I like glycerin'.
I like breathing
Have you olways loved it? Are you annoyed teenagers have made it their *thing*?
Yes, subscribe to my substack
Thanks for your brilliant recommendation on breathing. I tried it and I am now obsessed. I know you are busy but could you possibly do a chatty long form video on blinking?. I would value your opinion on this as I have heard it is popular but not sure if it's for me.

also, the SKIN on my SCALP is cosseted by the new Head and Shoulders Bare Hydrating shampoo. It’s really calmed my scalp psoriasi/dermatitis thing* it’s actually slightly drying so I’m alternating with my Palmers Moisturising Shampoo. I’m impressed though, it’s currently half price so I’ll be clearing the shelves of it in a train station beauty store v soon.
(*nobody is sure, I tried all the shampoos, no help. Steroid lotion burned and made it worse
) my hair type is greasy, although I was it daily otherwise it gets plaques which bleed after a day, have a small amount of flakes.

I’ve been blinking for years. Ollways done it. And that’s a legal fact.
Sorry but dafuq is that face? Her teeth and mouth look ridiculous. She paid for this?
When will her endless facial 'medical' procedures stop? In a way I feel sorry for her. Her obsession with her face and appearance cannot be making her happy.

What Murad vit C update? You must be misremembering or getting me confused with another hun who is crushing middleaging like a pro. #gaslighting *runs away* *pitter pat*

It seems she can't get these procedures done quick enough, like she needs to catch up with all the other influencers and be her best self before reaching 50. I can imagine her continuing to chase, especially if she "needs" adjustments/tweakments down the road.

What are your glasses brand? They look fab. xxxSee above

She looks even more ridic next to two normal looking women who haven’t had loads of work done.
