Episode 16: The Aging Face Video
PREPARE YOUR HEARTS....
In Episode 16 of Life after Kids with Drs. Brooke and Lynne, we're talking about our AGING FACE!
Let's get really real here, none of us are getting any younger and neither are our faces. Fight it all you want, time moves on and our skin changes. We wrinkle and we get fine lines. Yes there are many things we can do about it, both natural and unnatural. But here's what we think.
Give yourself some grace and love. So many actors and famous people have done so much work to their physical appearance, and some of them don't even look like themselves anymore. Hollywood has set an unrealistic bar for what an aging woman should look like. And, when we strive to reach an idealistic bar that is unattainable, we're left standing in the gap, feeling frustrated and unattractive. That needs to change. It can change. But, it starts with you and me.
Let's start by being a bit more accepting of the aging process. It's a natural part of life after all. And, let's hold space for each other to choose what beauty means to us. If you want injectables, go for it. We support you. If you feel the need to have lifts or surgery, that's great too- you do you. But, if you're a woman who wants to slow the aging process and enhance your physical appearance naturally, we want you to know that you are beautiful too, just the way you are.
When we have conversations about PHYSICAL APPEARANCE in MIDLIFE, let's do better. It all starts on the inside. It all starts with your mindset and how YOU view yourself, not how the world does. In midlife, we have to be comfortable in our own skin we have to love ourselves in order to thrive.
When you're ready to further the conversation on the AGING FACE in MIDLIFE, click the picture above to watch this week's episode of Life after Kids with Drs. Brooke and Lynne. We hope you love what you see when you look in the mirror, fine lines and all. And, before you go, allow us to leave you with some parting thoughts from Dr. Lynne...
