"Wrinkled women";: Why are we afraid of wrinkles

— Don't wrinkle your forehead, you'll get wrinkles! — relatives and acquaintances have told me with horror in their voices, starting at about eleven years old. They've been scaring me since I was a kid. But I didn't understand. Why do you have to deprive yourself of normal facial expressions and human expressions of emotions because of some wrinkles?

Later, my eyesight completely deteriorated, I could not get used to glasses and found salvation in contact lenses.

— What are you! — my mother-in-law told me with horror in her voice. "There's a girl at work who wears lenses. So her lower eyelids are like sharpei's skin. The skin stretches a lot from putting on and taking off the lenses every day.

And what now? Banging your forehead against lampposts? Well, no way. Sharpey so sharpey. But my eyesight is perfect and my life is comfortable.

Even later, I interviewed one of the TV personalities. She talked a lot about the secrets of her youth and good looks in general, and one of the prerequisites for maintaining beauty was the need to sleep only on your back, like a soldier, since the long hours we spend lying on your side or stomach are very conducive to wrinkles. This is especially important for the decollete area, by the way.

"How can that be?" I was surprised.

— Discipline, self-control and regularity. And over time, you won't roll over even in your sleep.

Humanity is fixated on how to escape from age and wrinkles.

A study commissioned by an English cosmetics company has shown that women become terrified of wrinkles as soon as they turn twenty. For twenty (Carl)!

What exactly scares you about wrinkles?

Will the husband leave for the young one? So if a person wants to leave, then nothing will stop him. They leave both the young and the beautiful.

Will men stop paying attention? Come on. Is this the meaning of life?

Actress Helen Mirren

One of my relatives, perhaps due to genetics, perhaps as a result of the abuse of cosmetics and smoking, began to look like a baked apple quite early by today's standards. But at the same time, she manages to be the most beautiful, funniest, and most beloved aunt of our entire extended family. And she has no shortage of men. A person is so happy and open that he glows from within, attracting others to him like a magnet. And smooth-skinned divas with sour faces and pursed lips continue to sit alone, despite numerous suspenders.

By the way, the world is gradually changing for the better. Look. Forty-seven-year-old Ulyana Tseitlina marries an oligarch. Tatiana Navka became the wife of you-know-who at forty. And Anatoly Chubais chooses not a young model, but an adult and beautiful Dunya Smirnova.

Smart and confident men, who don't need to prove anything to themselves or others, choose women to match themselves. And wrinkles don't scare them.

In general, it is not difficult to slow down the aging process a little. After thirty-five, you get smarter, you start to rethink and rethink your life, as a result of which you stop smoking, start eating healthy food, drink regular drinking water instead of alcoholic and carbonated drinks, always wash off your makeup at night and do not spare money on high-quality care cosmetics. As a result, you can look better than before, despite your age.

Yes, the secret of youth is the secret of Polichinelle. Proper nutrition, giving up bad habits, adequate sleep and adequate care, less sun and moderate physical activity.

The main thing is when all this happens calmly and harmoniously, without fuss and fear. Reasonable care, without fanaticism and insanity.

But you can't run away from wrinkles anyway. The most you can achieve is to look great in your age category. But you won't become a teenager again. Turn yourself inside out.
