I agree with the advice to call them laughter lines and accept them! The truth is that we are getting older! Of course use a good skin cream BUT do not go for Botox. I've read more than once that there are serious unintended consequences from Botox: it paralyses small muscles, so they can no longer create lines. But those muscles have a job to do - they make your facial expression change in different circumstances and we need them. For instance, when you meet a friend who is sad, you reflect back to her your understanding of her pain, in your own expression. And of course, you smile and look happy when someone has good news. This has two effects - it helps our relationships with others, who see our empathatic expression and it informs our brains with empathatic understanding, so our responses are a good match for our friend's feelings. Empathy and relationship are to me so much more important than getting rid of some lines on my face - as the younger generation say "its a no brainer!" Keep your laughter lines and keep your capacity to reflect empathicatically and feel more fully for others.
