Of course, we no longer look the way we did ten years ago. What do wrinkles appear? The memory of many events in life, which you absolutely do not want to regret. Beauty is created throughout our lives, so it is always with us.
You do not regret the fun years — do not regret the wrinkles either
We don’t shake our heads when we’re twenty, roasting in the sun, dancing all night long, or, conversely, sitting over notes and not eating for days.
Even then we knew about the effect that lack of sleep and chips three times a day, for lunch, dinner and breakfast.
But even now we do not regret that we did not sunbathe in the shade or drink freshly squeezed celery juice. On the contrary, when we get together, we pat each other on the back and remember how carefree we were, how boldly we took off towards adventures without putting either a thermos or a blanket in the trunk.
Without this recklessness, our youth would look too bland, and we look back with pleasure, remembering how little we worried that “one day” our skin would not look hydrated.
Age is funny too
My girlfriends and I get together for a glass of wine and sometimes laugh looking at old school photos. Who would have guessed that such beautiful swans would grow out of these ugly ducklings!
“I’m afraid that a surprise awaits me as an inheritance,” one of the girlfriends suddenly declares, “all my relatives in old age become like … a goat. I feel like my nose will meet my chin soon.” And we grab the rulers and start measuring our noses to dissuade her. Just like in childhood!
Ten years ago, we were very serious, purposeful, building a career, and this competitiveness extended to our gatherings. We dressed to look the best in the room. We zealously elicited from each other the secret of a successful pie or salad.
Now we cooperate more. If I find out about some cream that works wonders, I tell everyone about it. If there is a remedy for age spots or capillary reticulum, I will immediately share it.
We are in this boat together. I even regret that this was not always the case.
You deserve your face
I think a lot of those who are younger think, “horrible, they have these wrinkles, and they must be worried about looking like that.”
I feel like I deserve this face. It is like a map of what I have experienced and achieved. This is my personal journey and it was unforgettable.
Sometimes looks hide your beauty
We need to change the scale a little. When you know how to find joy in the midst of chaos, or choose compromise over unnecessary drama, or speak your mind and stand up for your opinion, you are not looking in the mirror, but at that moment your face is beautiful.
Beauty is actually a choice
Creams, be sure to vitamins. And something else, more. When I realized that beauty is created by your whole life, I realized that it has always been with us. You only choose whether to recognize this beauty in yourself or not.
You now have more time for her
Even though beauty is within us, I added another half an hour to my daily self-care routine. I didn’t put on more make-up, I just do my make-up more thoroughly. My hair got a little coarser and I added another one to my products to make it softer.
And I do not know a single woman who has not changed her diet by this age — what and how we eat, or in what quantity.
Now I have more time, my children have grown up, and this daily self-care is like a sign of attention, a gift to myself, and I like that I can give it to myself.
