Jane Fonda - dazzling mature beauty

Nowadays the situation becomes more complicated because we have an opportunity to delay physical signs of aging, at least the most evident of them. Active exercises help us to strengthen flabby hips and belly, moisturizing milk makes our hands and feet softer. Besides, we can’t forget plastic surgery doing miracles: baggy skin below the eyes and double chin disappear as if with a wave of a magic wand. The fact is beyond any doubt – we don’t look the way our mothers did when they were forty years old. But our ability to look young at a mature age actually turns to reality the myth that woman is as good as beautiful she looks. It’s called Jane Fonda effect.

Jane Fonda has brought healthy life-style and youthful look into fashion. Watching Hollywood stars on TV we hold our breath – they roll in luxury, favoring us with a perfect smile on their everlastingly young faces. They serve as an example of how splendid one man can look at the mature age and we start thinking that we should also look well. And soon it turns to another cultural purpose. It seizes a strong hold on our minds and causes the contradictory situation, when the distinctions on the scale of age become smoothed and obliterated. But at the same time we continue to believe, that a woman with wrinkles on her face, pigment spots on hands and gray hair looses her allure and grace, at least a part of herself.

Actually, the things shouldn’t go this way. The middle of life can be the time of a great spiritual growth, because it’s time when we look in the mirror and ask: “What have I achieved and what am going to do?”

Mature woman or senescent woman?

Once you notice that your eyes no longer shine as bright as they used to when you were younger. Examining your face in the mirror you can see a lot of vertical wrinkles that you’ve never pay attention to before. And when did those freckles on your hands appear? You may wonder, how a woman that you see in the mirror resembles your mother.

You feel afraid and depressed at the understanding that the youth slips by, the life is half lived and you turn to a woman of ” the certain age ” as French say. This is the moment of realization that you begin to age. The moment, when you captiously peer into yourself and start meditating upon the years left behind: “What did I do until now? “, “Where do I go? “, “What do I want to do in the rest of my life? “. But it’s also the time when you can occupy yourself entirely with your own development and finally do the things that you used to put off till tomorrow.

But when does it happen? Some women begin to feel old and reckon themselves in middle age when they aren’t forty yet. The others start thinking they aren’t young anymore attaining forty years. There are also women feeling youthful after fifty years. And though we usually consider that the transition from the youth to the mature age happens in the middle of our life, it occurs to everyone differently.

Do you know, how often do the women, who haven’t even yet celebrated their thirtieth birthday, look for wrinkles and baggy skin below the eyes? They want to make sure that they have no physical signs of aging and look young. Because the most of us judge the end of youth and the beginning of aging exactly over the appearance of physical changes. No one wants to meet the middle of life with a net of wrinkles under the eyes, wan skin color, gray hair and flabby breasts and belly. Even if you chef finds you an efficient expert and your husband thinks you’re very attractive and sexy, you can’t pass unnoticed the changes occurring to your body.

It’s time to look into yourself and ask a question: are you a mature woman or an aging woman? Your inner voice will tell how old your soul feels.
