Every time a good looking, elderly woman who looks fantastic is in the room, people always figure that they have had some sort of procedure done. With the medical advances of today, and the ever increasing knowledge of how to protect against the wrinkles of aging, maybe we should give them the benefit of the doubt. With what we know about the importance of nutrition and SPF creams the appearance of aging can be reduced dramatically and naturally. With proper hydration and the elimination of smoking, many females have realized that they do not need to endure the pain of wrinkles. Yet strangely, we have a tendency towards doubting a women's ability to grow old gracefully. It is strange that as a society we do not feel the same about men. Men, have long been considered to look more distinguished as they grow old. The addition of gray hair and the initial signs of aging are said to make men more appealing. In fact, many women have been consumed by the fact as they get older looking, their male companions grow seemingly more attractive to women, especially younger ones. This double standard is one of the most perplexing of ...
... our time. Is it because men have an ability to adapt better to growing old? Or perhaps the difference lies in the fact that in general guys are not as focused on aging and therefore remain confident. Men may not be as attuned to the alterations their face is enduring. It is established fact that many women encounter confidence slumps as wrinkles begin to form on their faces. however the fact still exists that wrinkles are developing and confidence alone can not explain this phenomenon. Whatever the explanation may be, recent years have shown a dramatic increase in both men and women gravitating towards over the counter anti aging products. With societal norms being what they are about men, researchers did not expect to see males leading the surge on the use of these creams, but in fact they are. Stores have found that the consuption of cream to minimize wrinkles has become even more popular with men. In fact just a couple years ago, many cosmeceutical companies did not even market towards men and today men make for over 53% of anti wrinkle purchases nation wide. Women too, have shown an increase in the consumption of anti wrinkle products. Some of this may be caused by the fact that there have been major medical breakthroughs in the reduction of wrinkles over the past 2.5 years. And perhaps it is an indication of the slowed economy, women who used to have cosmetic surgery are now focusing their money on creams and serums, rather than shots and surgeries. It appears that while the public may treat men and women differently when it comes to growing old, men and women both share the desire to reduce the signs of aging. And the use of anti wrinkle creams is definately a way to narrow the gap, a way for men and women to age gracefully, together.
