My face is really uncomfortable because it is aging fast and my brows are really heavy over my eyes as well as my cheeks are sagging. My cheeks have spasms and random twitches I can't control and I feel awful. sometimes they will go numb I can't even get a job because I can't pay attention to anything but this, and I'm worried other people will notice.
