As someone who is fairly new to the world of the anti-aging techniques, Iโ€™m a conservative.

But considering the fact that people have been proving theyโ€™ll try anything to look younger โ€” from injecting their faces with botox to bird shit and bee venom facials โ€” Iโ€™m not surprised to hear scientists are now trying to inject old people with the blood of the young.

Iโ€™m not judging.

As Iโ€™m typing this, Iโ€™m on week one of an anti-aging treatment that is effectively GIVING me acne for 12 weeks before turning over all my cells, burning off a layer of my skin, removing any wrinkles and making meย look like a hot middle schooler.

Why am I doing this?

Because I am terrified of looking old and because we live in a society where women have traditionally been seen as โ€œless valuableโ€ when they stop looking like theyโ€™re 25.

And even though thatโ€™s bullshit, Iโ€™m realizing the older I get, a part of me has bought into that lie.
