Why can't all women age like... (damage, afford, attractive, reduce)

1. Airbrushing, they really don't look that good
2. They have money to use all the beauty treatments they can

Treat it like a classic collector car....

This is spot on.

Smoke, drink, sun, abuse it to death and you will look like you are a soul closer to death.

It ain't rocket science ladies!

Have known a lot of poor ladies (w/out funds) who were naturally youthful/young looking because they never picked up bad habits and lifestyles.

Genes also come into play.

Be good to yourself and your body will be good to you.

Ink it, dope it, starve it, sun it, Load it full of crap/chemicals/plastics, etc. and you can pretty much count on being a train wreck inside and out.

7 kids at 38??? woah! that's some stamina! haha

Never met a beauty who didn't consider herself a victim. Why is that?

2. Not willing to regularly drink a decent amount of water
3. Not willing to give up cigarettes and alcohol
4. Not willing to make getting healthy and taking care of their skin a financial priority.
5. Not in possession of Rene Russo's or Michelle Pfeiffer's genetic makeup.

Aging is occuring.

Why is it some people could do hard drugs,yet still look youthful?
Others eat healthy and exercise,and don't do drugs,yet still look older?

I've never seen anyone on any kind of drugs continue to look great...but I've seen women lose their looks overnight using drugs. I don't do them and look younger than women in their twenties who do.

Awile back in the Downton Abby thread I commented that Maggie Smith looked really old, older than she should and a lot of people jumped on me and said I was unfair and that she aged "gracfully". Well I just saw her in modern dress and she looked 30 years younger than for Downton Abby. They had her made up to look older than she is.

We don't know if these people age well. Many if not all celebrities get botox, fillers and surgery. The best way to keep your skin good is to take at least 1 tablespoon of oil per day. Preferable olive or fish oil. If coconut oil I recommend 2 tablespoons.

I have. I have a good friend that spiraled for about 3 years. Lots of heavy drug use (alcohol, weed, cocaine and the occasional bit of meth) and looked absolutely gorgeous through the entire ordeal. She's been sober going on 2 years and looks better than ever.

Some people just have extraordinary genes.
