Aging gracefully
I have always been a very vain person. Even before I knew how to make money, I was already using skin care products. Gosh! I can’t imagine myself getting wrinkles, sagging face, yuck..
So imagine my joy when I met an old university mate recently and she commented that I haven’t looked a day older from the last time she met me. And that was almost 10 years ago. Hmm.. I hope she was not pulling my legs. So, I told her my little secret recipe…
How did I reduce my appearance of ageing? I avoid the ultraviolet light as much as possible. Sunlight causes ‘age spots’, wrinkles and other ‘solar damages’ and it is a well-known carcinogen!! I apply daily daytime protective emulsion with SPF15. While Vitamin A and E, zinc and isoflavones has been shown to be helpful when applied at night, a healthy lifestyle of balanced diet and regular exercise cannot be emphasized enough. I have always kept my mental faculties youthful by constantly learn about new things and of course maintaining a good sense of humor.
Well, eventually I should learn to accept the fact that, “A face without wrinkles is a face without character”
