Life on Florida’s West Coast

Growing Older Gracefully?

I know. I am not that old, but I still look in the mirror and feel such confusion that the face looking back is that of someone nearing 40 instead of the porcelain-skinned teenager who never had to deal with acne or blackheads. My skin is great for my age, but I spend more time than I ever had to before in making sure it looks good. I know for a fact that when I was a teenager, all I had to do was wash my face and occasionally dab on some moisturizer at night.

A lot of people spend great amounts of money to turn back the clock, so to speak. I know there are cosmetic procedures that would slough off a few years, but since I am ahead of the game anyway (I look younger than I am), I figured I would avoid spending the money and taking the health risks and just make sure I keep up with a good skincare regimen.

Still, I never said I wouldn’t do while kicking and screaming all along the way.
