How do you handle your appearance asyou age?

Feeling exactly the same as you. I used to be a part time model.
I keep wanting to stand on my head so my face goes UP instead of down. I look the WORST in the morning and find I don't want to go anywhere or I wear great big sunglasses and a ball cap!
Why can't my face look smooth, sweet and kind like some 80 year olds? Instead of like I just got dragged through a keyhole?
I guess I will get used to it and stop griping. God gave me a brain and at least (So far) it isn't aging much?

@slarson14 You look worst in the morning? I am the exact opposite. By the time 7 pm rolls around, my eyelids are drooping. If I ever needing to start dating again, I’ll say, “Let’s meet for breakfast.” because I know my skin and face looks its best then.
Do you take collagen powder? I add some to my protein powder smoothie every day. The experts say it helps. I am 69 and people often say I look younger, but I don’t feel younger. I may have the same joie de vivre as I did at 30, but I don’t feel I am in my age 30 body anymore.

@slarson14 Per your reference to "some 80 Year olds" ... In reading this (I'm with you) don't forget more and more people today are going for "cosmetic surgery" .... not recommending that by any means ... just a possible answer to " why them and not me?" My dermatologist is taking so many of those it's difficult to get an appointment for medical reasons, such as cancer follow-up for example ... very concerning. I'm with all here on the "when did this happen?" issue. Definitely in the "yikes!!!!!" category.
