Aging Gracefully...

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 มิ.ย. 2024
- Very evidently, the collective fear of the aging process is driving a growing number of increasingly younger people to turn to extreme measures in order to "anti-age." I find the cosmetic procedure trend to be so disturbing and sad. People are ruining their natural beauty. We see fewer and fewer living examples of natural beauty & natural aging - people aging gracefully. From my perspective, the fear of aging will "age" you worse and faster than the natural process of aging itself. Unfortunately, lies travel faster and further than the truth. I can't control others' beliefs, assumptions, or spreading of falsehoods, but I can speak up for myself. I wanted you to hear these words from my mouth. Assumptions create false narratives with potentially damaging, real consequences. It was important for me to speak out about this topic as I recognize the duty of care that I have as a content creator, particularly to my younger, more impressionable viewers. My call to action is this: Let's normalize aging. Let's embrace aging and opt to age gracefully. (Join me.)

I promised a timestamp: 14:39
haha I loved that Part!! You are great 😊
I believe everything you say… I greatly admire and respect your position. Child, just be yourself.
I understand you so much! I dont tend to make much expressions with my face either. My face gets tired when i smile so much (when i go out with funny friends and smile a lot xD) and also my forehead when i apply makeup (i have hooded eyes, so i rise my eyebrows a lot to expose all that hidden skin).
Do you have a partner? 6:52
Do you have a partner in your life
Society sometimes hate natural and healthy women who take care of themselves.
I have been accused at work to have pretty privilege and to eat only salad, simply because I am health conscious.
If people think you are good looking, they sometimes think you have a high opinion of yourself..
I am also introverted and people pick at me for it.
But when I seem too confident they are not happy either..
Conclusion is: people will always make assumptions and judge, no matter what we do..
I think addressing negativity is good sometimes..
I've decided, after a lifetime of down-playing my looks, that I'm just going to be an obnoxiously-hot "MILF".
(I am not a mother, and the term is not my favorite, but you know what I mean).
Be stylishly hot AND slightly intimidating...not "mean", just for the sake of it, but direct eye contact, chest out, chin up, etc.
If someone makes a comment about your looks, humor is one of the best ways to throw it back, especially if there is an audience.
You have to be just a little mean. A little faux-vain. Then they are reassured that you fit a comfortable stereotype, and can feel morally superior, again.
But if you are good-looking AND introverted, they can't get a read on you, so they assume that their own lack of info IS deliberate, cold superiority, on your part. Like a snobby ballerina, or princess.
You’re so naturally real and unproblematic! I still can’t believe that guy came for you like that, smh.
I'm so mad Jennifer received all this hate and had to make this because of him!
He dared to make a follow up video acting clueless and blaming the viewers for "misunderstanding". I really hope he apologized privately to Jennifer and will delete his stupid video
@@Sophya7 I had no idea he made a follow up video but I’m not surprised. She did read him for filth in the most polite and respectful way possible. I don’t think I want to give it views or attention honestly. Just gonna keep supporting Jennifer’s content 💜
I’ve aspergers and I swear, no matter what I feel, my face doesn’t move.. but I feel so much for others. I love you because I resonate with you
I like eating asparagus
I know the reason for this video and I'm glad you are shutting up people who judge you of things that are not true. As always you are a source of inspiration!
Toxic people are the cancer of the world
I am wayyyyy older than you, and going the natural route. I am in my 60s, and it has been a journey of self-acceptance. I have not done any injections/botox/fillers/surgery/surgical peels, etc. I just started tretinoin about 3 months ago, because of you. I love it. I started seeing a difference in 3 weeks, and now at 3 months, I am blown away. I catch myself in the mirror, and my skin hasn't been this radiant in decades. I wish I had known sooner. I have used sunscreen religiously since I was about 22 and have used OTC chemical exfoliants over the years. That also has been the saving grace of my skin for years. Nobody thinks I am my age. Yes, I have good genes, but I also eat very well. I have a green drink that I make everyday, and I don't eat out. I make my own food. All the things you describe, I do too! The benefits STACK.
It’s sad that people accuse you of getting Botox and filler and then you have to move your face to prove them wrong. Thank you for your honesty. You’re a beautiful person and very honest and authentic. You live a life of complete health and are an inspiration.
It's sad that there are people who consider using Botox as something to be "accused of".
@@StarOnTheWater nothing wrong with Botox, but people shouldn’t accuse people of anything.
Jennifer, I really respect you for putting out this video, your authenticity is inspiring. You've gained a new subscriber, thank you x
Glad to hear you mentioned melissa55. You and her are the reason k started tret and so glad i did. Its insane melissa is almost 70. She looks 20 years younger
I love her channel, too. She's such a beautiful person, inside and out.
Jennifer, you really dont need to change ANYTHING: not the way you speak (i.e.being more concise), or present yourself (i.e. smile more). In fact, this is why I personally chose to sub to your channel: I noticed that you aren’t “trying” to be anything other than yourself, and are not copying any other people in uTube space…
Always a pleasure hearing you share your perspectives and parts of your real life 🤗🤗
Fr, she is who she is and we love that
As a woman who doesnt smile if she doesnt feel it you dont need to change. maybe people need to deal with the fact that not all people are like them
Absolutely! People need to be kinder and realize we are all different. I wish more people could celebrate our differences instead of embracing the societal pressure to all look the same.
I’m with you, I’ve opted out of all those things and at 56 feel I’m in the minority, as you do. I do really miss the days when I was young, things were so different and I feel a little bad for the younger generations and what they think they have to try to live up to. It always surprises me that girls as young as their 20’s and 30’s’s are getting botox and fillers. I wasn’t even thinking of things like that at that age. Thank you Jennifer for sharing. 💗
Just do you
@@Bexiboo. Always have, always will.
@@HollyL56 if you re read what you have wrote above..that doesn't seem to be the case.
@@Bexiboo. Feeling like I’m in the minority doesn’t mean I won’t always do me.
@@HollyL56 ahhh right, just when I see you banging on about your concern for young girls and what they are doing, I thought that was you concerning yourself in what other people do, therefore not doing you. My mistake
As a skincare lover in my 30s with ASD, I adore you and your work and your words so much, Jennifer. Your channel is a safe haven for me. All love & light to you.
What ASD?
@@halaqkhaled Autism spectrum disorder.
I also have ASD and I can't tell you how many times I've been shamed for not expressing enough. Like yes, I'm excited and happy and I'm telling you that but my face might not necessarily look like I am so please don't tell me I look miserable😭
I realize the intention of this video was not to discuss ASD (but thank you for trusting the community to share that with us) . This video has really educated me and I hope it will do the same for others in understanding how ASD can affect the ability to show facial expression (aside from your choice to not overuse your facial muscles). I hope this knowledge will cause people to be more sensitive and understand that there are people with whom facial expressiveness, doesn’t come naturally, the way it does to many of us. We’re all different which is a beautiful thing; we’re not meant to all look or be the same (and sadly, with Botox and filler, many people are all starting to look the same, which is sad to me.) This video was a great reminder to always strive to be kind, both on You Tube and in every day life because you never know what someone is struggling with and because it’s a free, beautiful gift we can give to each other. I’m very sorry that anyone on here made you feel like you needed to move your face or feel like a dancing monkey. That just hurts my heart. Jennifer, you have SUCH a beautiful smile and I love to hear you are practicing using it but I hope you never feel pressured by society to do so, unless you choose to. I know this video is not intended as a sensitivity lesson but it really was that for me and I hope it will be for others. You’re always kind, in spite of what sounds like may have been some unkind comments. That says so much about you, your strength and your character.
Blessings to you.
Society fails to nd people, for real. Not all people fit a standard and we need yo be aware of it. Also culture plays a part, being the nortern part of the planet less expressive than the south (i am latina and people here are very touchy)
I think your level of transparency is not only refreshing but vital in a society like ours today. Your concern of young viewers (specifically young women and girls) stood out to me as well. It reminds me of the song 'Mrs. Potato Head' by singer Melanie Martinez. A lyric from that song that always breaks me is "It's such a waste, When little girls grow into their mothers face, Well little girls are learning how to cut and paste, And pucker up their lips until they suffocate". Unfortunately as humans we do subconsciously act on the principle of 'monkey see - monkey do'. Your openness to explain in detail not only parts of yourself, but also acknowledge the impact it can have on others and how it ties into your magnified voice as a content creator is so beautiful. Thank you Jennifer for being such a strong beacon of light in such a dark period of time on the internet. Amazing video as always!
She looks fantastic for her age. Probably her genes play a huge part but her lifestyle adds much to her youthful looks
Jennifer, I’m 29 now and started using tretinoin. I want to say thank you for sharing your beauty way. You’re a great example and role model! We need more information like this in media. Let’s age gracefully! ✨✨
I saw a video by a male makeup artist I’ve been following on TH-cam for years now and was very disappointed by some stuff he said, I believe, about you. I’m also a pretty facially stoic autistic woman who has never had Botox. I’ve always believed you when you said you’ve never had injectables. I feel like I relate to you so much and your lifestyle is so inspirational to me. Thank you so much for sharing what you do with us. It truly is a gift.
I immediately thought of wayne goss when you said that. I also instantly assumed he meant Jennifer.
I would like to add that I found it to be in very bad taste that he would make assumptions, not naming Jennifer whilst still giving an exact description of her facial expressions and overanalyzing the way only one of her eyebrows moves when she speaks. I think his lack of success with tretinoin shouldnt lead to him projecting
@@LadyHelsingOfficial I agree! It was very obvious he was talking about Jennifer.
@@dexysworldwho is the guy?
@@franz3810 Wayne Goss. Without mentioning Jennifer's name, he described her age, facial expression/mannerisms, and accused her of taking botox & going on YT to say that all she does is apply tretinoin. Well guess what - he was wrong and this video is a wonderful response to shut him up.
Rather be old and look young then young and look old. Never drink or smoke. Wear sunscreen when you can. Do sports, sleep a lot, and that's good enough. For your face and also your soul.
I am sorry that you felt you needed to do that. You are lovely inside and out. Thank you for sharing yourself with us!
I saw this other male influencer the other day talking about Tretinoin users advertising its use for well aging but not telling the whole story of having injections. Whomever he spoke of, I pride myself at being good at knowing when people are honest (maybe part of having ASD) - and I fully believe you're telling the truth about not having had Botox.
I watched it too and it made me feel so angry! I've now unsubscribed from his channel
@@alsmith7141 So, he never said any names, but I do have my suspicions. I've never seen his content before, but his attitude felt a bit toxic tbh.
@@JD-xd4sy I do get the point his making but not the example! To me, he was definitely describing Jennifer e.g. Early forties, used Tret for years and left eyebrow moving up and down which hers does....he describes this movement as a "classic" tell tale sign of someone using Botox.
@@alsmith7141 Exactly! That was the tell tale of who he was insinuating about. Well, envy comes in many shapes.
And he tried to gaslight us in a video saying he wasn't taking about her when he clearly was.
I appreciated you standing up for yourself and standing with us who choose to age gracefully.
Choose slow cooking over fast food 😝 (except maybe sardines!)
Wayne Gross did a video and said he wasn't talking about Jennifer. It's very suspicious though, as he stated her age and the fact that she slightly raises one eyebrow. Who else could he have been talking about? Who else is the Tretinoin Queen? * He was shamed for throwing shade and now denies it. This tells more about his own character than anything else.
When i Saw his video i was sure that he was also talking about her because the age and the little face expression.
@@kellymensah8181what video was it?
I thought the same thing. He must be speaking about her and made me feel disappointed in him.
@@sylvee2 Wayne Goss
gross is in his name
I have been using tretinoin for about two years and my skin has beautifully changed. I'm in my late 40's and I feel that I'm aging well. I'm not against cosmetic procedures but I'm not one to get them either. Good for you for standing up for yourself.
Jennifer I'm like you I also don't gesticulate and I don't like that you needed to address it becouse people assumptions. I tried to explain to this person that made a video of you that not everybody is super expressive like him but I got a lot if negative response. I really adore you, I feel so ifentificated whit you, I've been 6 years on tret and I started becouse of you, you inspire me !!
Jennifer, you helped me so much in regards to using filler/botox/a facelift. I was in my 20s and saw every influencer doing botox, fillers and Mini facelifts. I tought that would be normal and was planning to do all of that until I found your channel and Tretinoin. I was so inspired seeing a person in their late 30s that had nothing injected and I was amazed how good your skin looked. I am now 30, never had Botox, Filler or a facelift. I use Tretinoin, red light therapy and sunscreen and I am SO happy. Thank you SO much for showing young girls that injections are not needed.❤
Dear Jennifer, I understand that you want to prove people wrong. I see you as someone who is very pure and real. Never thought you were hiding anything. Do you know what a coincidence that yesterday I saw a TH-cam video of Wayne Goss about this subject, and also saw a comment about you, that made me very sad. Keep on shining and spreading wisdom dear Jennifer. Sending you lots of love from the Netherlands ❤🕊🫂🙏🏼✨️
I was surprised too at that comments section
They started a whole witch hunt lol
@@maalikserebryakov really bad 🥺
I'm 65, started Tretinoin 1.5 years ago at the 0.025 strength for 6 months with no adverse issue. After the six months went to 0.05 strength with no issues. At 1.25 years usage I went to 0.1. I use the cream, and this is a game changer for achieving the best skin ever! Thank you, Jennifer, for another excellent and heartfelt video! From the rooftops shout it out!!!!
do we get the same results with differin?
@@ohgfdssuytreechhyggh Both increase cell turnover, but Differin does so more gently by binding to just one type of receptor, while Tretinoin binds to all three subtypes of receptors, making it more potent.
I am a 27 year old alcoholic who loves themselves and also hates themselves, I love you and your advice. Thank you Jennifer,
I you use the pronoun they, the corresponding reflexive pronoun is themself, not themselves. You are not several people (unless you have MPD, lol).
@@dammar117Why would you correct someone's grammer here in a comment. Especially, when they were just being honest and maybe crying out for help as an alcoholic. Not to mention your first word was misplaced. Should have been: If, not I. We all make Grammer mistakes.
@@kathystclair9485 Thank you Kathy!!!
Why do you refer to yourself as they haha🤣
@@dammar117 This seriously wasn’t necessary!
I am so grateful for every video you upload. You have so many good thoughts, you provide so much information, and you inspire me very much. I believe everything you say, I know you are genuine and real., and I know your information is very well documented. I appreciate you for being you. ASD and all. (I wonder if I might have ASD myself, never been assessed though...) Thank you for inspiring me to get my thoughts and mind back in places where it belongs. I almost lost joy in everything, kind of giving up on a lot, and waiting just to be done with this life. Then I found your channel, among others. I started to listen, and I started to rebuild myself from the inside. I found the fuel to do so from many places, most shockingly also within myself. But in this, I found your channel. Now I've made changes in my diet (well I also had to, due to newly diagnosed allergies), I have a very strict sleep plan, I move my body more, do yoga and small walks. Now I feel like a new person, inside and out. Your channel has been a very big motivation, and even though I cannot do what you do, I do what I can do and what I need to do. So thank you for making your content, I think you do a very good job. I hope it helps you to do this channel, and I hope people can be nice with you. You deserve that. Happy belated birthday recently, and have a nice summer. Hope Dallas was great. Never been there. But then again I live in Europe. Thank you, bless bless. Kristin ❤
I will watch people with natural voice and natural expressions over people with super animated voice, overly enthusiastic expression and the personality created just for the audience..seriously makes me tired and uninterested!
I like to laugh and have a good time, but when it comes to youtubers who act silly and prolong their videos, I just want to say to them, GET TO THE POINT! I have stopped watching most of them because of that!
One of the main skincare influencers we want
I can tell you’re such a sweet person ☺️ many people with ASD just accept their social deficients often to the detriment of interpersonal relationships, so I love that you’re consciously working on little things like smiling more! Show those around you what a lovely person you are 💛
I actually find your still face and calm tone of voice very appealing and nice to watch/listen to.
Like you said there will always be haters and doubters no matter what, just do you! You've been an inspiration to me on how simple and effective diet and lifestyle is the way to go, thanks for sharing your secrets.
For me, I've had a line in my forehead since I was a teenager. So it's not even always due to aging, it can just be how your natural facial structure is. I've been using tretinoin on and off since I was 30 and I'm over 50 now. People do tend to think I'm about 40 I would say.
I wish I found you years ago before getting fillers. I've always been conscious of my health, but somehow my insecurities got me into using these injections without questioning. They changed my features, they migrated and disolving some of them caused me a lot of symltoms I have been trying to heal for the past 4 years, like muscle athrophy, crepey skin, loss of volume in ny hands and feet... I aged at least 10 years. There is a group called botched fillers and hyaluronidase damage support group with thousands of women experiencin similar symtoms.
Is the biggest regret I have.
Thank you for your content and for being so straight forward and honest.
I have been using tretinoin for 4 years and my skin has improved, but the damage from fillers and hyaluronidase is irreversible.
I have started using it on my body as the skin on my legs looks like I am in my late 50s and I am only 40.
“You go Girl !!!” You’re a natural beauty. Keep doing what you’re doing and let the haters deal with their issues. Love all the wonderful information you share with us.
I feel you so much on being envious of people who are really animated and expressive
You are such an inspiration! Thank you! I tend to feel pressured into doing things I don't want to do - like riding a terrifying rollercoaster or bungee jumping. I have no interest in those things - and it doesn't mean something is wrong with me! I have finally in life learned how to assert myself and just say "No, I'm not interested!" And I leave it at that! Thank you for your wisdom and presence!
Been on this channel for a couple years now and I’m now 28. I’ve learned so much about health and wellness from your channel Jennifer and it’s honestly such a gold mine of info. Thank you for all you do and keep doing you girl!!
I barely see any video on TH-cam with more than 20 minutes, and when I do I always put it on 2x speed, but yours I always enjoy watching entirely because you have always so many good insights... Anyway... I have read some of the comments you address on the video. You should not care those people. Unfortunately this subject of aesthetics and beauty which you also address on your videos attract many superficial, futile and vain people, so you should be aware you will encounter with some foolish viewers, but we who follow your channel for a longer time know already that you are much more than that, and are an integral person... By the way, I wish I was like you, I'm on the side of a very "animated" person when I talk and express myself, and being like you I think it actualy transmit the impression of being a calm and tranquil, self-controled person, which is awesome.
Jennifer, you are a breath of fresh air. At 43, I am also not interested in procedures and fillers and I will neve be. While I wish I would have started using the right skincare in my 20's, better late than never. I can't completely undo the damage of not using sun protection in my younger years, but I use it now. I'm more interested in health and ageing well, and I for one appreciate the beauty of a real face, real skin, real imperfections. Your channel is needed, and I really appreciate you!
I can't thank you and Dr dray enough, I started using tretinoin 3 years back, prior to that I use to suffer with acne and other skin problems for almost 9 years. Although I was doing alright with my sleep and other lifestyle habits my skin still remained the same. Then I found both of you, started my tretinoin journey and now I have the best skin that I have ever had. I never would have ever imagined someone complementing my skin in the past but these days I hear people tell me I have 'glass skin'. I have really gained some of my lost confidence back ( though I know I should not derive my confidence from external factors, but can't help it I'm human after all 😅). Thank you again for being so straightforward and positive amidst the negativity and mistrust from others and remaining true to yourself, such an inspiration truly.
This is exactly why I love your channel! We are all born with an different genetic background and different faces, bodyshapes or skintypes. The key is how to take care of our natural heritage and embrace ageing from an holistic point of view, thanks to sleep, balanced mental health, praying (or meditating), nutrition, activities (intellectual and physical) together with simple but effective skincare....Not to stop ageing (we all age!) but to embrace ageing with an healthy mindset. No botox or filler with give you an healthy and radiant look whether you're 30 or 60, good health and proper care will.
I think it's more of a US standard, I've lived in 6 different countries on 2 continents and most people choose to age gracefully and I barely see any procedures unless visiting very big cities (South Korea is an exception).
The US is good at doing things to excess.
@@JenniferMyersAmen to that!
@@JenniferMyers…. This is an Important Video cause u r Showing us to just Live your Best Life without Keeping up with the Masses👍n Thank u 4 Always Keeping Things Simple n just Realizing what Really Matters n Continued Blessings JM💜n Happy Wednesday😀!!!….
@@JenniferMyers Indeed. I often wonder if I would’ve been a less anxious, more confident person if I hadn’t grown up in Southern California. The societal pressure for women in the U.S., is ridiculous. I remember when body dysmorphia was first mentioned in the DSM. I was already suffering from it. I wish we lived in a society that valued aging gracefully, intelligence and kindness over youth and physical appearance. I’m 52. While I miss my youth, one thing I really appreciate that I didn’t then is the ability to see the big picture. I also worry a lot less about what people think about me. have you always lived in the United States or did you spend any time growing up overseas? Also, thank you for sharing videos and about your relationship with your mom. It’s wonderful to see how close you both are and how she also chooses to age naturally. I see a lot of mothers in Southern California cave to societal pressures about invasive procedures, which they pass along to their daughters. It’s unfortunate.
I think this video was needed for some people, and I commend you for doing so!! I love your authenticity. ♥ I distinctly remember you speaking about not moving your face much years ago, I guess people just didn't see it.
It is a joy to listen to you beautiful Jennifer.
This is such a great message for the young women who are incredibly impressionable and who’s mind and spirit we should preserve. I’m 51 years old, and have no plans on getting any injections or any type of work done to my face. I’m all about taking care of what I have and sticking to that for the long haul. Aging is a blessing, that isn’t given to everyone. Cheers to everyone who is choosing to gracefully pro aging.
On the contrary, I think this video is on a positive side and we need more TH-cam videos that are honest and informative. That’s one of the reasons I watch YOUR content! People not only underestimate the importance of simple skincare but also genetics and our lifestyle choices. And let’s be honest American population doesn’t want to be hold accountable and responsible for their actions. I am an RN and witness that firsthand.
I absolutely love your videos! Your authenticity and simple approach to life are so refreshing. As someone in their late 20s who's a bit anxious about aging, your content has been so helpful.
Thank you for showing us that it's possible to look young and healthy without resorting to botox or other cosmetic procedures. Seeing how amazing you look makes me want to stay natural and avoid the world of artificial alterations.
You truly are a breath of fresh air on this platform.
You are the type of a person who I like to be surround myself with. Naturaly beautiful, calm and with such a great energy. You are a queen of TH-cam.♥
I love your channel and all your wise advice and tips. Especially, for the younger people. In their late teens/early 20's is the time to start. I'm going to be 60 this year and I know people in our age range say they wish they knew then what we know now about skin care. However, it's never to late to start!
Thank for making your videos. They are so informative and helpful. Your integrity is so much appreciated!
This is exactly why I absolutely LOVE your content, Jennifer. ❤ You are so honest and refreshing in a world of fake faces. I too am against Botox and filler and have never wanted to try it. (I’m also an esthetician btw.) We are a rare breed! It’s nice to see someone who also shares this viewpoint. I’ve unfollowed and unsubscribed from people who have lip injections, breast implants, bbl, frozen Botox faces, etc and I feel sooo much better not seeing all that plastic surgery! 💯 Much love to you Jen. 😊✨🫶🏼
I really appreciate your honesty and authenticity.
Practicing smiling is great! Hold a pen sideways between your teeth. Your brain doesn't know the difference, and it actually will uplift your mood. But, yes, those social smiles do a lot to smooth social interactions. Good for you for noting your felt deficit, and taking the steps to help yourself.
Like I tell my kids (one is twice exceptional) and the other is also gifted, but has some social anxiety--we all have gifts and we all have challenges; even if people don't see them, everyone is working on something. Some things are hard and other things are easy. Never think someone's life is without strife. Just keep doing you! You're just right.
I love how honest and true you are to yourself. Something I aspire to be. I wish I wouldn’t smile and fake laugh out of people pleasing and because of my social anxiety, especially in cases that I really don’t want to. Don’t feel that you need to smile more or have to practice it either. If people hate that you don’t smile enough, ignore them. They don’t deserve your smile anyways ❤
Thanks for doing this video!
You make me prouder of myself. I celebrate being in my late 30s. Hold my head high as I head into my 40s. I want to continue aging naturally. Build on happiness and gratitude. Always be my true self (including my sense on stoicism).
I have been watching your videos for many may years, and am so grateful for your authenticity and realness. Thank you for being beautiful in every possible way Jennifer ❤️
Lots of love to you, Jennifer! I admire your integrity. It's one of my highest values in life. Keep being you. ❤️
Ah, love your videos & the information you bring. As well as your personality.. to me you are such a calming presence & make me feel grounded again when I watch your videos. Thank you for always being authentic.
I always enjoy your videos and you have always come across as a honest and genuine person which stands out especially on this platform. Your content consists of many health and lifestyle practices which I enjoy and I have very similar views to yourself on diet and lifestyle practices and other topics I’ve seen you cover. I very much respect and value your opinion. I believe you are a very positive influence and a diamond in the rough especially on this platform. I really appreciate you and it’s so refreshing to see.
Speaking as a 34 year old woman currently.
A fellow tretinoin user, I am not familiar with the other lady you mentioned but I also follow Melissa55 who is lovely too.
You are both great examples of natural beauty and love how you both are longterm users of tretinoin!
❤
Loved this video, where you showed us a more laid back and spontaneous version of yourself. This made me realise you have a great sense of humour and you’re always so wise and well spoken, I admire your authenticity and class. Well done and have a good holiday Jen❤
I always thought you had trained yourself to not move your face too much to avoid expression lines (which I thought was impressive) but this video explains it so well. I do really enjoy seeing you smile a bit more and love your videos so much!
Jennifer... you are so down-to-earth and original. I love your verification and informative clips and have been following through with them.
Everyone knows who put this question of your integrity out there! I thought it was different that you didn't move your face, but I never thought it was Botox. I have a son on the autism spectrum, and also going off of your affect , I assumed it was Asperger's. I love ALL of your content, as a 48 yo skincare enthusiast your content motivates me to constantly work on becoming a better version of myself, thank you.
I love your authenticity Jennifer. Been a long time listener/viewer. ❤
Hi Jennifer, you should not have to “prove” anything to anyone. Those we follow you and understand your lifestyle and health philosophies know you are living your life as you represent. As a long time user of Tretinoin, I can attest to its amazing results. There is a disclaimer: though Tretinoin has immense beneficial effects on the skin, it cannot prevent the structural changes in the face, below the skin surface, that is a normal part of the aging process. We do what we can and happily accept what is natural and normal for all humans as we move through our years.
I LOVE your videos!! I also LOVE how confident and unapologetic you are!! As you should be 😊💓
Jennifer, would love a video on the facial relaxation methods you mentioned here. Thank you!
I saw a video of a makeup artist a while back and though he never said a name it really seemed like he was talking about you specifically and how you were lying about botox. I was kinda on the fence tbh, but not now after seeing this video. You are a breath of fresh air. Appreciate your transparency ❤
Wonderful video as usual you speak with clarity and knowledge thank you for standing up for all us women who choose to age gracefully and you never looked more beautiful than in this video much love to you and your beautiful soul
Thank you for doing this. It's unfortunate that there are people who, no matter what you say & do, have set assumptions about you (others). I'm always being accused of lying. I no longer refute. My boss gave me great advice; he said Give it to the Lord.
I appreciate you so, so much !
I believe you when you say you’ve never had Botox or fillers. I’m 54, and I’ve never had Botox or fillers. I don’t have lines. Due to my genes and taking care of my skin, I’m blessed with good skin. I have been using Tretinoin for about 4 years
People think I’m gay because of my shiny face from Retin-A. I’m a man, I like Retin-A, and that’s it.
This was a very well said video. We can’t have the light without the darkness. Addressing what you’ve addressed allows for balance. Thank you!
I respect you so much Jennifer ❤
Im glad you are here.
I love this video! I have been a fan of yours for a few years now and I can tell you that I love your personality and the information you give is so valuable. I get the same comments from people about myself being stoic and serious. That’s just me!
I refuse to reveal my age now, because no one believes it and people just accuse me of doing something to my face., so I just let them think what they want. Because of the rampant use of dermatologic procedures, people no longer believe that "natural" is still possible. They make you out to be a liar if your skin cheated age "naturally". And yes, having less facial expressions help avoid wrinkles. I spend most of my day by myself and have therefore not much need for facial expressions. I'm 47 and I don't have the usual lines caused by repeated facial mannerisms.
Jennifer, I discovered your videos this past week. I enjoy watching your videos and they're very informative.
I am sixty-years old and started Tretinoin this week. I tried botox one time at age 50 and hated it.
Thank you for the wonderful content you present.
I appreciate everything about you and your philosophy of life. Thank you for sharing it ❤️ I have similar habits (except that my face is very expressive😁) and it's very important for me to hear and see there are people like you. Thank you Jennifer
I really appreciate what you said about personal integrity and being authentic around 12:00. Especially with people being financially incentivized to create content that generates the most engagement, there's so much fakeness and negativity and it's so discouraging to see people get baited and feed into it by engaging which keeps the vicious cycle going.
Hearing your thoughts was refreshing, and occasionally I have to remind myself that there are likely many many more good people out there than it seems on social media or the news. Thank you for that ❤️
Love this! So true!
Thank you for such a great video. Your channel is a treasure !
Aw I’m proud of you too. Thank u for ur video Jennifer. You are my inspiration!
People are just hurtful unnecessarily im like you i dont move my face too much to prevent wrinkles i also have been taking care of my skin for decades. Im nearly 44 years old and im blessed to say i do not look like it.
You are beautiful Jennifer inside and out dont let anyone tell you otherwise 😊
I totally agree with you 😊
Totalmente de acuerdo contigo. Yo creo en ti
I really applaud you in making this video. Humans are highly influenced by the content they take into their minds. I try very hard to edit out content where women have had "work" done. It simply doesn't align with my values. Therefore, it doesn't support my mental health.
I remember watching numerous interviews with Justine Bateman. It was incredibly validating to hear a celebrity who was against all procedures to halt natural aging. However, she, at least, appears to be the other extreme of not using any sunscreen (though she never said this).
I'm kind of like you. I do good skincare. I'm vigilant about sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, shade, water, sleep, whole foods, exercise. Beyond that, it's about acceptance & gratitude.🙏🇨🇦♥️
There’s no real readon to be so anxious about procedures though.
If the result is good and no harm happened then whats the issue?
@@maalikserebryakov there's no anxiety. It's about choosing for yourself what the definition of "aging gracefully" looks like. You get to choose Botox, fillers, etc, if you want. I accept that choice for you. But, it's not MY choice or MY definition of "aging gracefully". If there's room for your choice, there should be room for mine, as well. Absolutely no anxiety about it at all.
@maalikserebryakov right? To each their own. If this works for her, then great! But why shame people that decides to use botox or other procedures that works for them?
@@amandazplace5663true, but your video you come across like better than. If some decide to use these procedures, then why same them? That's how it came across
Thankyou so much for the video 💗💗💗💗🧿🧿🙏
wait, what? who was talking smack? I'm so confused. I always thought you had beautiful skin because of all the things you share with us, but I also assumed it looked extra perfect because of the lighting. Who's saying otherwise? whatever. thanks for sharing, anyway, Jennifer!
Thank you for reminding me why I don't want to put neurotoxins in my face.
I am 40, first time Botox at 25, some fillers.
Stopped and reversed everything 4 years ago.
Definitely regret having those done before and wasted so much money… for what?
Now I am and better than before.
Sticking with natural options such as microcurrent facials, and safer options for skin care (DMK)
I weight lift & do cardio exercises.
Eating as healthy as I can. People think I look 28.
No one has ever found that elixir of life and fountain of youth. Don’t be hubris and claim that certain thing is the fountain of youth like many injectors and influencers.
No one have found that since the beginning of time. Just do your best in staying healthy, that is all we can do. And enjoy our short time on this earth and not chase after that unicorn.
Your wonderful and inspiring I appreciate you.
You are truly an inspiration, an amazing role model for clean living in mind and body. I am so glad people like you exist in this world. Thank you for everything!
Amazing video 😊 THANK YOU ❤
Dear Jennifer, I want to thank you for being you. I’m a 26 y/o girl and have been extremely inspired by you! My diet has changed, my skin has changed, my attitude has changed. Just wanted to let you know❤ love from Sweden(half Korean also by the way!!)
Jennifer you are very believable and beautiful inside and out. There are too many jealous and hateful people out there. Very sad but true.
Very honest lady❤
Jenni you are the best god bless you
WOMDERFULLY SAID😊😊
