Teens are buying retinol and an actress’ movable forehead stops me in my tracks.
I’m writing this from a recliner in a blindingly white room, waiting for a dermatologist to come back with 15 units of magic elixir to smooth out my forehead, and I’m not sure this should feel as normal as it does. Getting poison jabbed into my face so that I can fight gravity and cling to the illusion of my youth for six more months isn’t even the strangest thing I’ll do today.
Here’s a question, though: when does disclosure bypass transparency? Are we breaking down stigma, or are we just normalising something that’s a little bit weird? The last time I wrote about cosmetic procedures in this column, someone took time out of their Saturday morning to contact me and sneer about my mental health. Let’s not do that. Let’s criticise the culture that demands perfection and the echo chamber that perpetuates it.
