Do you feel your face has aged a lot faster than expected since having kids?

Question

In the three years since having my first child, I’ve gotten so many more wrinkles. It’s so crazy. I don’t even spend much time in the sun. I’m pretty OK with physical signs of aging but when I saw an older photo tonight, it kind of took me by surprise. The difference was shocking.

Answer

People used to frequently get my age wrong by up to a decade younger. I was always so flattered. But then I had a kid. 🤣 Now I’m happy when people are off by a year or two. My face effectively aged about 15 years when I became a mom.

Answer

I think it's the lack of sleep. I saw a bunch of pictures of me recently that were taken when my son was between 1 and 2 and I was shocked because I looked 10 years older then than I do now. Once he started sleeping better and I could actually get some sleep, my skin improved a lot.

Answer

My face, not really in my opinion. But my hair yesss I have 600% more grays lmao

Answer

I only have a 20 month old and 2 month old, so I’ve not been in the game too long, but my skincare routine is on point and get regular Botox.  Hoping I’ll hold off on the aging from parenting for a bit longer🤪👵🏼
