Becoming An Aging Female Is a Matter of Birth.....HOWEVER, being a gorgeous, ageless woman is a matter of choice. That is my line and I am sticking with it. When I was 23, I was taking an interior design class and my instructor was 37. She was absolutely gorgeous. At 23 I saw 37 as mature, older, maybe even ancient. I truly admired the way she dressed, and the way she wore her hair and makeup. She also had great skin. When she told us she was 37, I remember saying, "Wow! I hope I look that good when I get that old". I am sure she was probably thinking 'what is old about 37?' Of course 37 is not old to anyone unless you are under 30 :)
I have always been intrigued with the care of good skin. Of course I love makeup. But what I love more is great skin. One of the first steps in taking care your gorgeous self is to start taking care of your skin if you have not already. Your face is the first thing that you see in the morning, so spend some time taking care of it. It is the first thing that people see as well. Even if you don't wear makeup to cover the imperfections, you really should be determined that you should take care of the 'skin you're in'. I don't even mean just your facial skin either. You should take care of the whole body. Soft, smooth skin is wonderful. If you don't have it, you must experience it. Pay attention to your feet, your hands, your knees and elbows.
Stand in front of the mirror and look, really look at yourself. Do you see or feel any rough spots on your face or body. Well they have to go! NOW! This means you first have to cleanse your face or body with appropriate cleanser or shower gels or creams, then EXFOLIATE. If you don't know what that means, you can email me later. After you exfoliate, then you must tone and moisturize. Now don't even tell me that you don't have time for all of that. You need to just take time. You owe it to yourself. Just get up a little earlier. Make a date with yourself.
You might ask what products to use. I am not endorsing any specific products at this time. Over the years I have actually used products right out of my kitchen to smooth my knees and elbows, give myself facials, condition my hair, soften my feet, soak my body, the list goes on. However, my point is you have to start now thinking of yourself as ageless, gorgeous, and beautiful, because somewhere under the dry skin, if that is you, the oily skin if that is you, the 'I don't know what to do with my hair, my skin, my body, myself', if that is you, is a gorgeous woman who wants to emerge. Please let her out.
Until next time. Have a fabulous Day!
