I'm worried about getting old....

I'm 30 and I know that I am not old yet. In fact, a lot of my friends said that I don't look like 30, maybe 29 1/2 only? :) Well, to be honest getting old is something that I fear. I don't like having lines, wrinkles on my face, white hair, and all the other signs of aging. I am in fact using some beauty regimens to prevent the signs of it. Do all women have the same feeling as I do? What about men?

ROFLOL! Yes, moisturizer is a good thing! It is the only thing besides drinking water to keep your skin from looking like leather.

hi, rajaiv..I'm also 30 years old. and just like you, some of my friends told me that I'm not look like 30 years old. some of them even thought that I'm still 25 or 26! . and they got more surprise when they finally knew that I have had a daughter already. thanks God for giving me this blessing. though every woman must be worry bout their age, but there are some ways to keep us staying young. and my tips is drinking much water. I usually drink 2-3liters a day. it will make your skin looks brighter and fresh.

hi! don't worry, there is nothing scary in getting old, you can only be proud of it, because you get smarter, more responsible and leave many happy, or maybe not so happy moments behind you and you can go to them every time you want. well, maybe for you women is a little bit different, but if you have already found the man of your dreams and you are sure that he loves you, then there is nothing to worry about, and no need to use some beauty maek-up Women are always beautiful, no matter of the AGE!!!

Oh yes Phoenix I love your response. My husband would always tell me don't worry you are still beautiful hahaha. And of course I would always love that assurance form him. I don't really wear a lot of make up as I am not a make up person. Just using some toners, special soap, and moisturizing cream to limit the lines. urgh. I still don't like the idea of wrinkled face hahaha. Maybe I'm just vain?

Hi..well i am 30, but i dont fear or worry. Getting older is good, you will see different dimensions of life not just staying as young. And regarding the appearance, dont worry much. Just stay happy internally, that reflects on your face. Increase your happiness as your age goes.

thats the fact that we really cant avoid, i also have that kind of feeling specially if i dont have any husband yet. of course its normal for woman to be very concern of her looks s we ll wanted to stay and look pretty all the time. i guess men also have the same feeling, like my brother, his 45 and already have a wife and kids but they live abroad. its funny because when he visited us here he also put moisturizer on his face and he even told me i need to put too to avoid any wrinkles.

Hello rajaiv, I'm a guy and I also worry about getting old, I should start saying that I'm almost 20 but yes already I wish I could stop growing up, being young is such a nice thing that the only idea of getting slower, less active and health problems will start makes me not want to grow anymore. 30 is not old , but I can imagine what you feel, the best advice I could give you is not to worry and just take it as it comes, but that would be hypocrite for the simple reason that I also mind a lot about getting older.

ha ha ha friend, getting old is inevitable. Its common for women to be afraid of getting old. But better to accept the bitter truth of life.

I think the most important thing is how feel how old r u, do not care about your age on the paper, do not care anything, your attitude will decide all things. If you feel you are still young, you are young, but if you think you are old man, even if you just still 30, you are old man. So I just want to say do care about age, just feel you are young, then you are young.

I know some men worry about getting old. I can't really speak for women on this subject. I generally am not too concerned with getting older but I do worry about it from time to time. Usually it has more to do with not having met certain life goals than it does my appearance. I'm 29 and, sure, I do have some signs of aging, but they are inevitable. I believe true beauty comes from within a person. Age means very little, and lines turn to wrinkles, hair turns to gray or starts to fall out, but this happens to everyone. The best thing you can do for yourself is love yourself no matter what. The more comfortable you are with you, the more your beauty will shine. Embrace your aging self. Every age has its particular type of beauty. Shalom [+] banana
