I think really we want to just at least look better than our age, correct? So do you defy the wrinkles or do we embrace the wrinkles? Honestly wrinkles should be a badge of honor as we age. Instead as Americans we throw billions of dollars a year into ironing those wrinkles out. There are so many celebrities now who are stating that they are absolutely opposed to doing any kind of botox, or any kind of treatment that would defy or change the way they would naturally age. Some of those people are Briggite Bardot, Catherine Deneuve, we have Judi Dench, and how about that fabulous picture of Helen Mirren on the beach in her bikini. You go girl!

So really what happens as we age? Skin is our largest organ. We start to reduce, as women reduce in estrogen levels as well as our collagen which kind of keeps our skin firm that starts to drop as well, and the oil changes in our skin. So what can we do to age successfully? Well, what we want to do is just avoid the sun. It’s kind of the no-brainers of aging, period. Eat well, eat a good diet, hydrate, make sure you’re avoiding the sun by putting sunscreen on your skin, wearing a hat. Also, just make sure that you’re getting plenty of sleep as well. So as far as I’m concerned your takeaway today is embrace the wrinkle and let your radiance and self-confidence shine through this deserved smile lines. It shows that you’ve been living a happy life.
