Shereene Idriss uses a couch analogy to explain why skincare can't fix age-related bone loss in your face. The wooden frame shrinks, the feathers flatten, and the fabric sags. Surgery could help, but acceptance matters more.
Let's compare your face to a couch. This is my couch analogy. You have your structure, which is the bony frame. That's the wooden foundation of your couch. Then we have the feathers. This is what you would consider the volume, the fatty pads, the volume in your face. And then you have the fabric of your couch, which is your skin, the structure, the bony frame. The wooden structure of your couch can never get fixed by skincare. As we get older, our orbital rim recedes, our jawline gets narrower and pushed back, and overall, we start to look like a finger. The only thing that's going to affect this is going to be surgery, an implant, which I do not recommend. We can talk about that for another day, or just accepting how you're going to age.
