My anti aging cream allows me to be a happy and proud 46 year old woman and a citizen of a youth-obsessed culture!

This sounds a bit silly but my anti aging cream has freed me of my ‘anti aging’ attitude and fear that my time is up…

Turning 40 and 50 is a big milestone in our lives. One that I’d like to think is something to be proud of: the accomplishments, the memories, the tough times we have survived and our beautiful family.
Living in an extremely youth-obsessed society we have learnt to ignore the good things that come with turning 40 and view aging as a complete catastrophe. We are very anti aging and we are obsessed with anti aging products.

Women, particularly, spend thousands of dollars on anti aging lotions, anti aging face creams and anti aging supplements hoping to make it easier to pretend that aging is not occurring.
This is not healthy! We have to accept the fact that our life continues and we are getting older.

I am all up for aging gracefully…however I do not want to look older than my age! I think this is a fair comment!

The idea of concealing our actual age is very appealing; I have certainly done that in the past. What’s a little white lie if it helps you feel more confident and get a job?
Well…one might say it is not a problem.
But I have a problem lying to myself.
Lying about your age because you are not comfortable with aging begins to take it toll…eventually and I have certainly experienced that. My fear of looking old consumed my life.

So, I tried a few anti aging creams.
One is now my fountain of youth!

I am 46 and much more confident and wiser and proud. I do not look older than I am!

What are your thoughts about getting and looking older? How has this natural transition affected your life?
