Why Aging Doesn't Need To Be The Monster In Your Closet
Aging. This five-letter word has a way of making even the most confident among us flinch. But why should it? It's not like we've discovered the fountain of youth yet, and last time I checked, time machines were still a sci-fi fantasy. So, let's remove the drama from aging and see it for what it truly is – a natural, beautiful process that is as much a part of life as our very first step or word.
Kiehl's gets into retinol with their newest serum for mature skin
If you want to know how your skin is going to age, look at your mother and (if you’re still fortunate) your grandmother. That should tell you where your lines will form and where your skin will give way to gravity; it will inform you how time will likely shape your face. Do not recoil. Aging is not ugly. It is a process that we all have to go through! But that doesn’t mean that we should not take care of our skin and give up without trying. It’s fun to try and do things better, no?
The Derma Corner: The changes our skin goes through as we age (from our 10s to 50s)
I’ve mentioned several times now how our skin changes over time and that we need to be aware of it to adapt to their needs. Today, I’ll be discussing a sort of skincare guide for every generation from teens to adults, what skin changes usually happens as we grow older and what are some of the skincare ingredients best suited for our skin at particular times in our life.
Wacoal says, "Be body beautiful at any age!"
Our body changes as we age. That’s just a fact of life! The best we can do is to take care of it by eating healthy, exercising, and avoiding bad habits like alcohol and cigarettes, but really, how many of us are saints? We want to live once in a while, but whether we like it or not, our body takes the toll.
A group of bloggers attended a Wacoal talk one Saturday afternoon, where a representative discussed how our body changes as we grow older. I’m sure all of us have an idea since we’ve seen several women age, but when it was dissected in detail, my gosh! I found myself squirming inside.
It seems that, even with proper care, our body will deteriorate due to gravity and the normal pace of aging (less elasticity, muscle growth, and overall moisture). Observe:

How hips change with age
This is not to say that aging is ugly and that we should just throw the towel when we hit our 40s. No. I would hate for you to think that! Our breasts may sag and our hips may fall flat and wrinkly, but aging has other benefits.
23 going on 30
I was going through my traffic stats when I noticed that a lot of people were coming in from a US website/forum called Makeupalley. In case you don't know - I love Makeupalley! It's a sort of bible for me, my ultimate reference when it comes to information about products I want to buy or review. So, it's a big deal for me that one of my links is over there.
Of course I clicked to the page where the link is. Apparently, it's a forum thread about guesses on how old I am. The general consensus is that I am in my thirties, although a couple of people threw in some forties guesses. The guesses were based on this post.
I was mortified! At first. I know I look quite mature for my age, but I always thought the general perception is that I am in my mid to late twenties.
