As a 38-year-old journalist who devotes a good chunk of her time to writing about beauty, it might seem odd that I’m yet to have any ‘work’ done, despite being regularly offered it as part of my job.
There are many reasons for my resistance to injectables and fillers. But right up there is the fact that I don’t want to do anything to my face that’ll make me feel less... me. This is not because I think myself a vision of beauty, but primarily because I am finicky about details, and would be cross if anything looked off or, worse, stuffed. Equally, I am rather fond of seeing the signs of ageing. I find wrinkles charming. I like the face, neck and limbs to match in terms of their reflection of time.
