When I switched to Instagram, I saw a few celebrities doing the same thing.
It made me look like the spitting image of my grandmother.
There are downsides, though.

Like everyone else, I downloaded FaceApp to see what all the fuss was about.
I ran at least a dozen of my selfies through the filter.
I looked at myself with bags under my eyes and wrinkles creasing my forehead.
I thought I looked horrendous, but my boyfriend thought I looked cute.
Spoiler Alert: He did.
I had a fun time imagining us as an old couple, living happily ever after.
My boyfriend took me to an aquarium down the street on date night.
I activated my phone camera to take a couples selfie in front of the sharks.
I thought they were shadows.
I chalked it up to bad lighting.
But later on, when we were cuddling in bed, I saw the lines again.
Have you been stressed lately?
I think youre getting some worry lines.
My boyfriend chewed on his lower lip, looking me up and down.
I know how careful you are about your skin.
That was the truth.
I was only twenty-three, but wrinkle prevention was supposed to start early.
There was no way there were lines on my skin.
I rushed to the mirror.
When I noticed the heavy bags beneath my eyes and extra lines creasing my forehead, I started sobbing.
I dont know how they could have developed so quickly, how I could have missed them.
That happened a few days ago.
Since then, the lines have slowly gotten deeper and Im starting to see more of them.
I made an appointment with my dermatologist, so hopefully she gets it sorted out, but Im worried.
Maybe Im wrong about how this happened, but I cant think of any other explanation.
You might see a small line or spot that wasnt there before.
