Kate Walsh decided to give the viral TikTok aging filter a try, but she wasn't too thrilled with the outcome. Taking to TikTok on July 25th, the 55-year-old actress hopped on the latest trend on the platform. With the use of the filter, Walsh's face underwent a subtle transformation, displaying an increase in texture and the appearance of some wrinkles.
Walsh firmly rejected the app's prediction, emphasizing the slight discrepancy.
"Moreover, powdered?! What's the deal?" she exclaimed, scrutinizing the alterations. "Do I age rapidly, become melancholic, and turn excessively glossy?"

Shifting her gaze sideways, she couldn't help but notice her nose seemingly magnified. "Wait, let me attempt a happier expression," she giggled as she faced the camera with a smile. "No way! I still resemble someone who indulged in a night-long festivity and then proceeded to sample a salt-infused hamster wheel by crafting newspaper shavings," she jestingly compared herself to a small rodent.
"I absolutely refuse to lick any salt wheels in the near future," Walsh stated in the caption of the post. Fans were quick to express their admiration for Walsh's appearance in the comments, noting that the filter still enhanced her beauty. One follower wrote, "You are aging gracefully, like fine wine," to which Walsh humorously responded, "This filter is more like spoiled milk." Another commenter exclaimed, "Kate, you look absolutely stunning!" Another social media user couldn't help but gush, "You look so beautiful!"
Even though Walsh didn't particularly like the TikTok filter, she has been open about embracing the process of aging. In an interview with Women's Day in August 2022, she shared, "Life only gets better as time goes by. The idea that we are supposed to remain the same, or look the way we did when we were 20, even when we are in our 30s, 40s, or 50s, is simply a misconception."
She expressed that no one really prepares you for the experience of aging, but if you embrace the changes and prioritize self-care, growing older can be quite wonderful. She also mentioned that being over 50 has provided her with valuable information on how to take better care of herself and live a fulfilling life. In addition, she revealed her skincare routine, noting that she tends to have dry skin and uses specific products like Biologique Recherche Lotion P50, BIOEFFECT EGF Body Serum, and Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream All-Over Miracle Oil to address this concern. She emphasized the importance of simplicity in her beauty regimen, allowing for affordable and effective ways to maintain hydrated, healthy, and attractive skin.
Celebrities including Hailey Bieber, Kylie Jenner, Courteney Cox and more have also played with the aging filter.
