According to 50connect, new research released reveals that the age of 28 has been identified as the “Perfect Age”, when women feel most happy with their love life, self confidence and body shape. By the time women turned 30 the study however concluded, they are increasingly worried about graying, thinning and unmanageable hair with 72% believing that aging hair (defined as thinning, coarsening, graying) is most likely to reveal their age followed by wrinkles (67%).
I think women should take a page from the adorable The Proposal star Sandra Bullock who is well into her mid 40’s but has retained her enviable youthful looks. She is one of the rare breed of stars who has aged gracefully without any glaring plastic surgery, yet has managed to retain her “girl next door” charm including her endearing , effervescent personality. Sandra told Britain’s InStyle magazine recently that her beauty regimes only takes eight minutes. Can you believe it? With any other actress, I would be like “Yeah, right!” But I’m willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. She comes across as someone who does not take herself too seriously and would totally go for an effortless, easy to maintain beauty routine. She says:
“I use a face cloth and Artistry cream for my daily beauty regime. I put mascara on today because I wanted to make a bit of an effort. My entire routine takes eight minutes since I have this mop on my head I need to wrangle. I wash, condition, put product in if it’s a little haywire. I like it when it’s messy-in-your-face bedhead. It looks like it just happened.”
But she did concede that her fitness regime is a little more time consuming: “People ask, ‘How do actresses do it?’ Um - they pay us to do this in order to look good on film. I do pilates, kickboxing, weight training. When I’m at home, I run or ride a bike. If I can work out every day I will.” Very wise, for how often do we pay excess attention to the face only to ignore the body?
