I dreaded hitting 40, like I dreaded becoming 30. Now, I'm on the short road to 50 and I feel I need all the help I can get. I have this 'idea' in my head that I can never age; that I will always look like I did when I was 20.
Of course, it won't come true and I'm not some god-like-celestial-figure who can never become wrinkly so when I came across Women Over 50 by Lizblueberry, I had to feature it.
A lot of the tips featured here can be followed way before you're 50 especially the skin care, hair care, supplements, fashion and diet tips, as it will certainly help for when you do. I only wish I had taken more care of myself when I was younger and not rely totally on some good genes to get me by (thanks Mum, to a disposition to varicose veins and crepy neck!)
Even now, I'm conscious of the fact that I'm looking at skin care products and cosmetics that aim to improve the look and feel of the mature skin. Of course, I know deep down, that a healthy diet, exercise, drinking lots of water and simple skin care is the answer. However, it makes you feel like you're doing something constructive and we all want or need to be pampered.
Sometimes, if we really think about it, the answer is usually the most obvious, but taking advice or suggestions from someone in the same boat, can usually help to reassurance us that we are all human; that it's easy to be swayed by adverts on the TV about the expensive facial creams and procedures that promise they can make us look 10 years younger.
This lens is extensive in its recommendations and, although there are a few minor glitches, it is worthy of a review, I believe, simply because it helps its targeted visitors in a simple and easy to understand manner.
And, as we get older, this is what we sometimes need even though we may not like or want to admit to it!
How did you cope with turning the big '0'? (20, 30, 40, 50 and 60.)

Carrie, this article is full of great tips. Of course, you are right that it really comes down to good diet and exercise and, I think, relaxing about life and trying to just enjoy each day. I personally am glad that, as of right now, I don't have to worry about dating!
ReplyDeleteYou know, it is so funny for me, that I am on the brink of 50, turned 48 this year, and yet I think that I feel better than I have in a long time. Getting close to 50 has made me wake up and take better care of my health, and in doing so, I actually feel younger.
ReplyDeleteI do admit to being more careful of my morning and night routine though. I am much more concerned with slathering on those eye creams. :D
Loved the review.
Okay...so I am no woman, but I DID toss all of my mirrors so I don't t think I look 50 plus years old
ReplyDeleteWell, I don't' know if it's called "coping," but my experience with the "ohs" is that they all went by like a ship's passing by -- not a thing to do but watch. :)
