Dear Aunt Mab,
"I'm a 50 year old male who is finally feeling as though I'm getting older and I don't like what I see in the mirror. A friend of mine suggested I should think about having some corrective procedures done on the wrinkles around my eyes. I wasn't that bothered about them before, but now I'm starting to notice them more. Is it a bad idea to get work done?"

Derek,

Oh Derek, it’s ok to age!


Plastic surgery shouldn't be taken lightly. We are finally beginning to see the real cost of these surgeries on stars faces as they age. It's proof that it doesn't matter how much money you have, you can't defy time. The sooner we all accept that ageing is a natural part of life and that we should embrace it, the better. 


The best thing you can do for yourself is to eat a healthy diet that includes lots of fresh vegetables and fruit. Give up smoking. Drink in moderation. Get some exercise and start using a good moisturiser made with natural ingredients. Do some meditation and come to terms with getting older. Date someone you feel that you can be yourself with. Find clothes that you love wearing, in comfortable natural fabrics. Get a dog. Walk it in the park. Look up at the trees. Connect with your spirituality.  


Your wrinkles are part of you. Your face reflects the changes that you go through in your life. Be proud of who you are. It's just about feeling comfortable in your own skin.
