Skin Aging is Normal
It’s a new book on how people who have grown up hoping that somehow, skin aging would not catch up with them, can find a way to accept what life is. In a book report in the New York Times, the two psychotherapist authors, Dr. Diller and Dr.Muir-Sukenick speak about how decades of experience understanding patients, has given them a certain insight into how absolute fear grips people as they are inexorably made to face all the symptoms of growing old – skin ageing until skin wrinkles and droops, aging hair that doesn’t stay in place anymore, and so many other painfully familiar signs. They say that the fear of aging isn’t really about being looks obsessed. It is about wondering how something we treasure so much, such as healthy skin, can just be taken away without our permission; it is about trying to find one’s bearings on what life means. If you have had a great and accomplished career, and you still worry about seeing your skin age, the authors tell you that this is not only normal, it is desirable; and it is certainly not shallow.
Skin Aging – Learn to Age Gracefully
Face It, the book, encourages readers to really think about why they would rather sometimes, just pay for a super expensive skin aging cream, than learn to age gracefully. Should you do as the feminists say, and ignore aging of skin for the wonderful person inside that you are, or should you accept that as a woman, your looks are simply undeniably important. The book gives you some important ways to tackle these questions on skin & aging, and the best part is, you get to read about the dozens of patient interactions the authors remember from their time practicing medicine.
Finally, when it comes to skin aging, the book looks closely at how in America, making fun of celebrities who use too much cosmetic surgery is such great fodder for the media. And at the same time, how the media can’t get enough of women who make a certain amount of a regular cosmetic surgery use. The media makes a big deal of actresses like Meryl Streep who firmly and somewhat self righteously, rejects cosmetic surgery; and at the same time, when an actress like Helen Mirren speaks in favor of it, with understanding for women who choose it, they treat her with contempt. There are dozens of examples of how women who have achieved major success in the sciences or in law, still can’t stop worrying about how they would look in a swimsuit at 55 with their skin aging and drooping all over. The book helps you look into the minds of other women in your position, and it helps you come to terms with the reality of aging face skin.
