Earlier this year, producer Amanda Luellen, RIP, was in Portland, Oregon on vacation.
I'm hanging out, feeling really good about myself.
And I walk past the store where a guy is offering free skincare samples.
And I say, sure, I'll take one.
And then he literally grabs me by the hand and pulls me into his store.
And suddenly he's putting, like, this goop under my eyes.
And I'm not a big skincare girly, but I dabble.
And I'm telling you that this stuff was Magic.
Like, I have the beginnings of crow's feet, but I'm looking in the mirror and they're gone.
And he tells me, this stuff costs $1,300,
but it is so worth it because you won't need Botox for another three years.
How old are you, Amanda?
I'm 28 years old.
Coming up on Today Explained, the pressure to fix your face.
It's today explained up to will King Yasmin Tyag is a staff writer at the Atlantic where she also hosts a podcast called how to age up This is a show about rethinking aging which Yasmin recently found herself doing when she noticed that many of her friends have been looking suspiciously good Well as a woman in her late 30s who was on Instagram all the time I couldn't help but notice that some of my friends who are the same age

And I was like, wait, I know you're in your late 30s, your face should not look that tight.
What's going on here?
So in person, I started to ask casually, like, what's your secret?
And everyone I spoke to was very happy to tell me that they've been doing baby Botox
