Wrinkles have their own charm and exude beauty

The first ones arrive around the age of 25, but the real change comes after 40. A season of life that experts call "the beautiful age" for women.

WOMEN'S RELATIONSHIP WITH WRINKLES

The first wrinkles appear around age 25, but the critical age, the age of true change, is between 35 and 40. This is when women have to deal with wrinkles : on their hands, face, and neck. It's the time when the skin becomes lined and sunken, especially on the forehead and around the eyes, when wrinkles become the visual result of expressions we repeat millions of times . Signs of aging , of course, but also of the stress and fatigue women face every day. Often alone.

THE CHARM OF WRINKLES

Wrinkles must be confronted openly , without hiding the critical point, but without emphasizing it either. The issue has always influenced women's attitudes, and the great Shakespeare wrote: "When forty winters shall besiege thy brow, and in thy beauty's field shall dig deep trenches." The change is there, and it is very marked, so much so that it even creates embarrassment among women, fortunately a minority.

WOMEN'S RELATIONSHIP WITH WRINKLES

For once, Italian women appear stronger than other European women . Although virtually all (97,7 percent) consider their bodies essential to feeling good about themselves, approximately 35 percent accept the advancement of age as a natural phenomenon , without trauma and without any reaction, other than that of keeping physically fit.

And the others? Some, quite a few, bow to the harsh law of Botox . That is, they continue to administer increasingly massive doses of this botulinum toxin to their bodies, first and foremost the face and neck, which works by relaxing the muscles. The effect, in many cases, is surreal . The face appears smooth like a child's, but the smile, the facial expressions, the naturalness of the female gaze are distorted. Everyone becomes drawn, to the point of horror, a Mephistophelian face whose natural features are distorted by chemicals. A waste of the body and of its beautiful beauty.

THE RISKS OF COSMETIC SURGERY

Perhaps women should reflect more on the risks of this metamorphosis, which stems from the inability to accept themselves for who they are and not how they appear to others. And they should turn the tables and their perspective on things, looking at the glass half-full, not the half-empty one of a changing physique.

For women, the age of wrinkles generally coincides with a wonderful time in their lives. So much so that some experts call it " the beautiful age ." It's the time when women feel mature, strong, and independent. They've accomplished an important part of their life plan, starting with family and children, and they've reaped the rewards of their beauty and the game of seduction. They're fulfilled. Now they can truly enjoy a second youth , filled with freedom, liberation from the superfluous (emptying closets, drawers, and desks), and eating as they please. It's the age when beauty can even increase, thanks to the allure of its mystery , but it's certainly the time when a woman's body exudes a confidence never before experienced. Why throw all this away for a handful of Botox on the face? Much better to accept yourself and enjoy the happiness of turning 40, thinking that it's the first of a long life.
