Wrinkle-free
Age.. and our interpretation of age. It seems like yesterday when I used to bluff that I am 10, when I was 9. When I turned 16, all I wanted to be was 18. When I turned 20 I wanted to be 25..I already knew what I wanted to do to bring my silver jubilee year to life. And the things turned completely bizarre strangely but surely inside me, once 25 was crossed.
I had colored my hair, brown, mahogany, plum and even red for fashion's sake ..but now I could see a hair or two that you call Grey. I realized that I could not take my slim waist for granted as suddenly, it started accumulating fat. And the next few years, made me conscious enough to see closely in the mirror for any wrinkle if at all.
But thanks to my genes, I am blessed with a bony body and clear skin. Now I take it as a compliment when randoms cannot believe their ears when I say, I am thirty. (They think I am 23-25!) So, much so that yesterday when I went to shop for my first Anti Wrinkle Cream the lady behind the counter said, this is for 30+ women, take this (another one for whitening skin) for your age.. And I .. I just wanted to hug her. I said, but I am 30. And her jaws dropped .. My favorite sight truly!
Sooo…even if people have hopes for me and compliments as well, I'm obviously not getting any younger. Every day I'm reminded that I kind of need to step it up in the make up, cleanser, anti-wrinkle cream department. As a result, I was searching around the other day for the "best" of each–but did not buy any as this is new for me.
If you are a woman of 30, 30+ do share what is your skin care regimen. What creams you use, what is the secret of keeping youth stay on your face.
Now I want to age gracefully, I would like to have a beautiful skin as long as I can, but I will embrace the change my body deems fit. I cannot control the fine lines to appear when I smile, but I can definitely ensure that I smile as true to myself,radiant and youthful as I did when I was 15.
