Today your social feeds are full of everything that is usually missing.
Wrinkles. Crows’ feet. White hair. Drooping chins. Sunspots.
Yes, “old” people are replacing smooth-skinned yoga influencers and your work-wife’s breakfast smoothie as the overarching theme on Instagram and Facebook this week.
It’s all thanks to the Face App, which “ages” your self-portrait so you can post a selfie of past and future-you for LOLs.
And oh, how the Young People are LOL-ing. “Eek, terrifying,” is the most common reaction, along with exaltations to use more moisturiser, get to your Botox appointment, stat, and maybe even die young, before such a horrific fate as ageing can befall you.
Harmless fun? Sure.
