WITH the rise of social media and millions of carefully edited photos, ageing and finding your first fine lines has become a sensitive subject to many, particularly women.
But although now more than ever people are spending thousands on Botox and fillers to fight off wrinkles and saggy skin, a growing number of social ,media users are also standing up against the stigma and embracing their mature looks.
One of those claiming to not be mad about looking her age is 34-year-old fitness fanatic, Anna Victoria, who shared her thoughts on TikTok.
”What’s wrong with looking your age…?” the mum and exercise lover said showing off her complexion a messy high bun.
”Happy to be loving life in my 30’s,” Anna added, explaining she had ”no interest” in appear younger.
But perhaps much to her surprise, it seems that the video completely backfired, as cruel trolls said she looked way older.

Though the average guess was around 40, there were some who even went as far as claiming the mum was over 50 – with one saying 52.
After going viral and racking up more than a whopping 773k views, Anna took time to hit back at the meanies, sharing a follow-up video.
”Come on, guys. Whatever age you think I am, that’s fine.
”But the fact that some people are using it as an insult…
”Honey, ageing is a blessing,” she reminded the haters.
”I’m so grateful for the 34 years of life that I have lived and I have smile lines – I smile a lot, you guys.”

Anna went on to add: ”To imply that looking older or being older, whatever, is not the most beautiful gift that we are given on this earth, I think that’s a really sad perspective and a sad life to live.”
Although her first video was more than bombarded with negative remarks by trolls, it seems that the message finally reached the majority of the audience.
One supportive fan commented: ”Maybe your long list of accomplishments and the incredible platform you’ve built at a young age confused them! Looking strong, confident and beautiful.”

Someone else penned: ”Love you and you’re beautiful no matter what age. You also most definitely do not look older than you are, not that it is an insult anyway.”
A third noted: ”I love this perspective and do share it but when I get Botox I’m like … am I contradicting myself?? It’s hard to be a woman in todays society.”
