“I really can’t recommend systemic sclerosis as a preventative.”
I was explaining how SSc messes with collagen and causes fibrosis inside and psych made the link with far too much wonder and glee “that’s why you have no wrinkles!”

Partner is sarcastically encouraging me to sell this idea on TikTok - ‘catching’ SSc is a youthful skin and hair beauty hack that would rake in the money!
Just need to make sure I disappear before lungs and kidneys fail.
@Kymberly hEDS has the same benefits! Some may say the only benefits! (Although the party tricks when I was younger were fun. Paying for it now though)
It would be a good hook for beautytok though. This one weird trick means I have no wrinkles! Could it work for you? Might be a good twist on the beautytok format that could raise awareness

😂 Love your humour :)
Messes meaning increases? I guess I can look it up... it seems it does.
I find it ironic that while skincare is trying to increase it as one of their primary goals, there is research that men have more of it by default, and they are also more susceptible to damage from the sun, and one of the possible causes is... having more collagen.
I agree, anyone sane would choose wrinkles if they were given an option.
@triffen thanks! 😄
Yeah, increases collagen, significantly.
Does that help with hair length, I wonder? I struggled throughout childhood to get it mid shoulders, but now it’ll soon reach my knees and shows no sign of slowing down despite anaemia.
I’d love to have some wrinkles and grey and actually look my age (it’s a big one this year 😖)
@triffen It’s a royal pain to brush, and entwines cat hair like crazy, but I like kanzashi hair sticks too much to give it up.
Ooo, aim for a really purple aubergine, that’d be a great colour!
