Just look at Goldie Hawn at 68 years old!

I don't think there is a right or wrong answer. As with relaigion and politics, everyone makes personal choices and walks a different path.

I haven’t seen Goldie in a while but we always enjoyed her back in the 1960’s in Laugh In, followed by very very funny movies........a natural comic.
A little birdie just told me that she’s had a lot of plastic/facial surgery and Botox........so lets just say that she’s had a little help.

The circle of friends and neighbors we have..........NO ONE has had botox or plastic surgery. But then, none of us are out to snag a new husband.
Letting one’s hair go completely SILVER is actually very liberating..........I finally just did it. Even the kids like it.

My own 40 something children are starting to go grey.
Now, theirs is the “natural generation”...........but you are right, “to each his own”...........I totally agree that each one walks their own path in life. It just seems so trivial to worry about a some dry skin when there are such greater problems in the world today, or even in the lives of those around us, which we might not be aware of........

p.s. Everytime we see that "Lifestyle Lift" commercial, we both laugh. It's so phony it isn't funny.

Gracie's original post, at the beginning, was hilarious but so true.........not that anyone would want to look like that cartoon..........just a little levity.

My peers and I feel that we are right where we should be at this stage in our lives and glad to be alive, glad to have raised great adult kids and happy to now be enjoying all the new grandbabies, elementary school aged grandchildren plus older ones...........that's our reward.......

Also, any of the Italians out there know that with our traditional oily skin, we rarely, if ever wrinkle up..........so maybe it's just not a concern that seems overwhelming............oily skin may be a problem in our teens.........but in the long run, our skin does stay younger looking longer..............
