I can't afford expensive facial treatments eg botox, fillers so lack confidence in my appearance.....so it was just brilliant today to see a photo in the paper of a natural looking 68 year old Felicity Kendall who has stopped apparently all of her treatments which disguise and hide the signs of ageing !
They say there is a lot of pressure on young girls nowadays aiming to look like those in the magazines but I think there is as much pressure,if not more, on older women. Thank you Felicity

Oh, if only I didn't love M & S's sticky buns
If I could stay away from muffins
I'm sure my double chin would go away
If I didn't eat pasta, and cheese, and bread and butter pudding.
But as a friend so kindly said, "Face or figure, you can't have both!"

No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace
As I have seen in one autumnal face.

I just use moisturiser and sun cream, there is nothing you can put on your skin to make you younger.
I rarely use makeup just perhaps for weddings and I think this is why my skin is not very wrinkly.
We have to come to terms with the fact that we are getting older and our skin will change and there is nothing we can do about it.
The main thing for me is good health, still being able to do all the things I want to do.
I keep active and eat a good diet and that for me is more important than how many wrinklies I have and I am certainly not spending time or energy worrying about looking older.

I'd also never suggest to going with Botox or any kind of surgeries to look natural. Just follow some face exercises and good diet , and believe me you can get a well sculpted face with them.

There's a program available called - Face Fitness Formula - The four weeks plan to lose facial fats, I hope it will help you to lose those chubby muscles.

Crumbs it's not chubby muscles that we want to lose, it's fat or toning up the muscles!
