French women are famous for their ability to age endlessly beautifully, without losing their cheerfulness, charm and charm - what principles and attitudes make this possible and what exactly can be adopted if we want to learn to enjoy life at any age?

Mature French

These women quite calmly wear skirts above the knee or hooligan wide trousers at any age and look very elegant at the same time, they look wonderful, even if their skin is already covered with a network of wrinkles and by Californian standards it may be completely imperfect. The main thing is that they are not at all afraid of aging. And they feel very comfortable at their age, even if it is expressed in a solid figure - this is not an obstacle to continuing to live with pleasure.

In many countries - and in our society too - you can often see how lively girls grow into beautiful girls, then become young women, then disappear somewhere, and the look catches already grandmothers, who are often tired of everything in the world and have lost interest in life. ... Lively, cheerful retirees, who can be found in the pool or on the ski track in winter, are either former athletes, or, rather, an exception.

French women continue to live full life both at 50 and at 70, managing to remain at the same time, albeit clearly elderly, but attractive women who are aware of their own beauty and charm. They can be found on the streets, in cafes, at exhibitions and in museums, in expensive shops or on a good yacht in a warm country - they are tireless and at the same time unhurried. Such an ability to enjoy life does not depend too much on social status or the amount of money, but it very effectively prolongs the happy female age.

Activity is important at any age

Active leisure is a part of the national French culture, and no one would think of giving up on it because of old age. The French go hiking, climb the mountains and ski there, love kayaking, play tennis and ride bicycles instead of taxi rides.

This is not a sports obsession or too healthy way life - which is sometimes characteristic, for example, of Americans, where such things often become an end in itself - but a way of life that is considered normal and natural. Even on vacation, aged French people are more likely to be seen diving or surfing instead of lying on the beach under an umbrella.

With all this serious sports, French women are not too eager to bother themselves - unlike the same American women, believing that any violence against themselves does not bring anything useful to a normal, healthy woman.

Irony is a powerful antioxidant

The recipe in this plane is very simple: you should not take yourself too seriously and dramatize your own age. Gallant Frenchmen are very sensitive to the second period of passion and mature femininity, which comes closer to 50, but no one would think of seriously worrying about this.

Food as delight

Everyone knows that the French are fond of good food and wine: they don't eat much, but what is on the plate, even if it is a very simple dish, should bring real pleasure.

With age, such a desire to give oneself pleasure only intensifies, while the appetite remains low: food for the French is not only a physiological satisfaction of hunger, but also a social act, a way of happy communication with friends. French women of any age can often be seen in a good restaurant in the company of friends with a tiny portion of food and a glass of excellent wine.

Such an attitude to food allows you to keep your figure well, even without seriously doing sports - and also such a life philosophy allows the use of desserts without any remorse. As a result, there is no difference in weight of 20 and 40 - at least not in critical parameters, as in some other societies.

Healthy selfishness is beneficial

A French woman, especially in adulthood, will not think long about whether to buy new shoes for herself or a game console for her teenage son, for example. They calmly make expensive purchases, travel on their own and spend money on themselves and their personal pleasures - this is considered completely normal.

No one will sit with their grandchildren in non-stop mode either - for this there are nannies on whom the parents themselves need to earn money.

Wardrobe must be expensive

With age, it is possible that the need to buy a lot of clothes for oneself disappears, but the clothes must be expensive and of high quality. Cashmere, silk, nice shoes and well-crafted handbags make up the same elegant mature woman's style that is so enthusiastically accepted all over the world.

Social life continues

What to prefer - a TV and a sofa or an active social life? A real Frenchwoman always has a choice in favor of the latter. At a time when children no longer require constant attention, and life is adjusted, there is no need to deny yourself going to parties, guests and cultural events.

All this keeps you in good shape: a haircut and styling is generally an absolute must-have, to which well-groomed hands and face skin, elegant and comfortable clothes of a good cut and high-quality shoes are also attached.

Age does not require treatment

Best the enemy of the good. Not visiting a beautician is a sign of bad taste, but traces of obvious artificial interference do not paint anyone either. French women generally believe that the absence of wrinkles at a certain age may rather indicate the presence of mental problems than become a reason to envy.

For this reason, hardware supportive cosmetology is very developed in France, but cosmetic surgery and botox are much less popular: age is not a disease in any way, so you need to take care of yourself, no doubt, but it is definitely not worth treating.

Anything that suits a woman can be worn

A short skirt or tight leggings at any age - why not if they adorn a particular woman with her physique? The concept of “clothes not for age” in France is absent: often a mother and daughter, or even a grandmother with a granddaughter, can buy clothes from the same brand.

With age, the taste and financial capabilities, of course, are very different, so a mature woman can be seen much more often in an expensive dress of a classic and elegant style, but, perhaps, in no other country in the world it is impossible to see so many women of 60 years old in a small dress, for example, or tight pants with heels.

Age is not a hindrance to sex

After forty comes the second youth, which can last exactly as long as the woman herself wants: a lot is already known from experience, so it's time to get pleasure as long as the physical form allows you to do it.

Everything is possible, but in moderation

Wine, late dinners, even cigarettes, sweets and young boyfriends - the main thing is to have self-respect that will not allow excesses. This is much more beneficial than the stress of forbidding yourself to do anything.

Do not be lazy to be able to live with pleasure - this includes everything from delicious food and good sex to buying expensive things, all kinds of hobbies and travel. This, perhaps, is the manifesto of a beautiful French woman after 50: she is a mature woman who has achieved a lot and is ready to discover even more. And now - at this very moment - you just need to enjoy yourself, the city, the weather and this very moment.

I heard an interesting interview ... one well-known person here, when asked about the coming old age, replied that the first call for her was that they stopped noticing her, men no longer stop looking at her, she became invisible ...
I thought about it ... and would add that there is no such courage that was in my youth, it is more difficult to fall asleep and wake up refreshed and refreshed the next morning, it is more difficult to keep yourself in shape ...

If we turn to biology, then we can understand that this is not a whim of a man, that he prefers a young dolphin body, it is programmed by nature, genetically laid down ... a man, on a subconscious level, is attracted by a young slender woman with a wasp waist, luxurious breasts, healthy teeth , clean, flawless skin, a shock of shiny hair. It is such a woman who biologically can endure and give healthy offspring, believes "a sophisticated male brain", so he does not pay attention to an aging aunt or does not stop his gaze ...

Some aging women have “forgotten” about such discrimination, they absolutely do not care how they look and whether men pay attention to them. They are fully engaged in taking care of their over-age children and their grandchildren, serving them at a biological level (feeding and drinking tasty and fatty food), discussing TV shows, neighbors and girlfriends ... they believe that they all know in this life, they love to teach and give advice ... They are happy in their "aging shell" with their extra pounds, wrinkles and sores ... Although it is difficult to get aesthetic pleasure from contemplating the appearance of such a lady ...

Others, cannot put up with this and resort to radical methods, become clients of plastic surgeons, they say about them, a woman without age ... There are successful experiments, there are unsuccessful ones ... Throwing off visually for several years is a normal desire of every woman ... Such a "rejuvenation" would be affordable, I think, oh, how many people would become interested !!! Such a woman without age (if the traces of the operation are not noticeable) undoubtedly pleases the eye, but you cannot compare yourself with them, we are in different "weight categories". Here the result is immediately visible ...

But the third group of women take care of themselves systematically throughout their lives, this requires discipline and constancy, they adopt the entire arsenal of personal care, using all sorts of tricks that help them look young and fresh.
Everyone has their own chips. (I know one woman who every morning, hits herself on the chin with her palm for many years and the result is obvious - at 65 she has a slender neck and does not have a double sagging chin).

Remember, at the age of 20 you have the face that nature gave you, and at 50 you have the one that you deserve ..?
Long-term and constant self-care immediately catches your eye ... This is healthy shiny hair, clean skin, breathing health (despite the appearance of wrinkles), bright radiant look (no yellow cholesterol spots on the eyeballs), healthy white teeth and .. .. the ability to hide the signs of old age with skillful makeup ...

The most important thing in the appearance of an aging woman, I think, is a haircut. This is her framing, as any picture can be ennobled by inserting it into a beautiful frame, so a woman can be rejuvenated by choosing the right haircut.
But hair thinns and falls out with age, so caring for them is also important ...
In my arsenal of care are oils for masks, which I do at least once a week. Having tried many different masks, I settled on a mask made from pure 100% argan oil, it is rich in vitamin E, omega-3,6, 9 ... this mask nourishes, protects and moisturizes the hair. I use burdock oil for eyelashes and eyebrows (I also tried many expensive serums for these purposes, they help, but temporarily, for a short lifetime of eyelashes) and rub this oil, sometimes into the hair roots ...

This mask of almond oil with a few drops of rosemary was suggested by my daughter, I liked its effect, and now I am doing it too ... It stimulates hair follicles well, therefore it promotes hair growth ..

I have been washing my hair "on the contrary" for a long time. First, apply conditioner to wet, dirty hair, for at least 5 minutes. It works like a mask. And then I wash it off with shampoo ... As a result, the hair is voluminous and shiny !!! This is my trick ... :))

I use a special medicated shampoo and conditioner - one of the latest scientific developments. The conditioner contains hyalurunic acid, and the shampoo contains special ingredients that enhance hair growth ... I recommend, you will be impressed with the result !!!

Particular attention should be paid to the condition of the teeth. The fact that they must be cured is a matter of course. But leaving has its own characteristics. Replacing the toothbrush with an electric one is mandatory! You will feel the difference right away ... When choosing a paste, you should pay attention to the composition, if it contains papain (extract from papaya), your teeth will turn white gradually! But a miracle will not happen if the enamel is yellow ...

It is possible to whiten teeth (with any enamel) at minimal cost. For these purposes, the best (based on my experience) whitening strips from the American manufacturer CREST. Affordable, convenient and effective ... The most important thing is that the result will delight for a very long time ... You need to choose the right one, depending on your enamel, they are presented in a gradation of whitening from 1 to 5 ...

With age, the skin becomes loose, saggy and wrinkled. To delay this process, it is very important what and how much we eat ... Sweets and baked goods destroy collagen and elastin fibers, the skin ages faster, in addition, many sweets contain fructose-corn-glucose syrups in the composition, which suppress the satiety hormone, and means they help in weight gain ...

But fish (just not fried !!!) containing omega-3 helps to smooth the skin ... If it is not possible to eat fish often, then you can and should take omega-3 in capsules ...

Plain water is the cheapest and most affordable elixir of beauty !!! Many do not want to remember and know about this, for some reason !!! And what could be tastier than her ???

With age, skin care takes longer. It is important to periodically clean it in the form of peeling in the cold season. You can also carry out at home using different serums with acids in their composition. I have for these purposes today, here's a serum.

The use of creams with an obligatory SPF (sun protection factor) of at least 30 ... (in cold latitudes this factor may be lower, in warm, southern ones - higher). After all, the main reason for the appearance of wrinkles is the sun, ecology ... Therefore, protect, protect and once again protect the skin !!!

This is my favorite day cream today. Bought it immediately when I saw it, the price is 14.99 pounds in TKmah ... It costs 39 pounds in all major malls. Good bargain !!!

When choosing creams, I pay attention to its composition ... the priority is hyaluronic acid, it is the best moisturizer.

Then retinol (vitamin A improves the structure of the skin and smoothes it), vitamin C, E (powerful antioxidants), vitamin B (reduces pigmentation), alpha hydrochilic acids (exfoliates the upper layer of the epidermis - dead cells, exposing new ones), avobenzone (a chemical ingredient which has a powerful sun protection factor) ...

I have been using this series for several years, stopped many times, but then came back again and again, until I found a better substitute ... Slows down the aging process of the skin definitely !!

To keep the skin velvety, it is always good to moisturize it after taking a shower ... It can be lotion, body cream or butter ... I choose butter or cream with shea butter ... And you?

And about makeup .... In adulthood, it must be invisible in order to look flawless. Therefore, it requires more time ... There is already a purely individual choice, taking into account the characteristics of the skin and preferences ... And the scope of proposals on the beauty market is huge!

It would be interesting to hear your tricks and tricks on personal care for your beloved :)) ??

Do you want to be noticed, paid attention to by men? Or do you prefer to be invisible?

But in the end, it’s not so important how we feel about it, it’s important that people respect old age, because not a single person is immune from this !!

N.B! The top two photos are from different internet sources ...

That, what does a woman look like at 20 is a gift of nature, and at 40 it is the fruit of her efforts. For some reason, it is so established in the CIS countries that you need to take care of yourself in your youth: paint beautifully, go to fitness, have a hobby, learn something new ... But somewhere after 30, or even earlier, women sacrifice themselves everyday life and go into the shadows, they say, where already at that age.

Yes, we can say that it takes a lot of money and time to maintain the beauty and youthfulness of the spirit, but here the husband, children, problems, worries. But look, for example, at French women: it feels like their life after forty just beginning. They are well-groomed and have some kind of elusive attractive energy.

Editorial staff "So simple!" decided to figure out what needs to be done to grow old beautifully. Indeed, right now, when old age is only your future, you can do everything possible to one day enter this state with your head held high.

Beautiful aged women

Many believe that beautiful aging- this is a myth, and years do not paint anyone. But before you are numerous examples of people who look sexy in both the sixth and seventh decade. And here are a few secrets that set them apart from most.

Secrets of beautiful aging

Food as a religion
We are what we eat. According to a number of doctors, nutrition affects the condition of the skin and age changes, since a person receives a huge amount of necessary vitamins and minerals from food, and not from food additives... Eat more naturally brightly colored foods as they are rich in vitamins A, C, E, D, and K.

Turn food into a cult, and it will bring you, in addition to saturation, also joy. Pamper yourself with beautiful and sometimes gourmet dishes and you will notice that cooking is no longer a burden.

It's not about the quantity, but the quality of the clothes.
Even women with an average income buy expensive and comfortable things for themselves - cashmere, silk, good shoes and at least one expensive bag. Taken together, this adds up to the elegant style of mature women, which is so admired by those around them.

Social life never fades with age
Unlike our women, who often choose TV series and sleep over social life, French women, especially in large cities, are becoming more active. Children have grown up and do not require constant attention, life is adjusted - it's time to go to parties, guests, good bars, movies, and so on.

An active social life keeps you in good shape - haircut, styling, well-groomed hands, beautiful clothes for going out and always comfortable shoes with heels.

There is no age limit for sexuality and sex life
It is generally accepted that after forty comes second youth- a lot has been achieved, learned, it's time to enjoy the still good physical form and experience. After all, a woman can be beautiful only when she feels desirable.

Openness to new
It is advisable to learn something new every day and keep an interest in life. All this rejuvenates the person and makes the eyes glow with a youthful glow. Study foreign languages, master the technique and new programs.

Only forward
It’s difficult to move on if you’re looking in the past all the time. Learn from your own mistakes and stop regretting things that cannot be changed. Meditation or yoga, as well as dreams and desire to change, will help to cope with this.

Physical exercise
Cardio workouts are good for getting rid of excess weight, but with age we need not so much thin waist how strong the muscles are. Soon after 30 you start to lose muscle mass(about 5% every 10 years) and needs to be maintained. That is why strength and endurance exercises are required for beautiful aging.

Makeup
Many people mistakenly believe that women need more makeup as they get older. In fact, this is a big misconception, and there is a risk of overdoing it with makeup, which will make you unnatural and not at all young. But it must be present in order to hide skin imperfections and draw attention to the merits.

Sense of humor is a powerful antioxidant
Treat life with a positive, let through only the bright side of it. Joke, and not only about what surrounds you, but above yourself. After all, laughter, as you know, prolongs life.

Age is not a disease
The most important thing is self-awareness and acceptance. Do not regret the lost years, create your history and memories now. Each period of life has its own joys and advantages. Expect bright and unforgettable moments from every day, and this will surely give you vitality and remove a couple of wrinkles from sadness.

Age should not be a hindrance to beauty! As you can see, it is not necessary to spend a lot on cosmetology and plastic surgery, it all starts with your thoughts and attitude to life. The choice is yours: sit in a rumpled robe in front of the TV or open up to this world.

Aging is not easy for anyone. But the beauties are the hardest to cope with this test. This is not surprising - after all, they lose much more than ordinary women, and even more ugly, and acquire the same thing: illness, weakness, dislike for the mirror.

It is more difficult for beauties to overcome role barriers that help to adapt to changing life circumstances: beloved - mother - grandmother. Many beauties generally remain childless, because they too cherished their precious dazzle.

As a child, I saw two old women who were said to be incredible beauties in the past.

One lived in the next doorway. She went out into the courtyard painted at random: some kind of scarf hats, no eyes visible under huge sunglasses, poisonous red lipstick, thinly and unevenly plucked eyebrows. It was impossible to believe that this was once considered a beauty.

Another - a friend of my grandmother's - only slightly tinted the whipped up gray hairs with blue (I then thought it was a natural color); she had a cameo on her chest, and she herself looked like a cameo. I liked looking at this lady. How she looked in her youth, I was not even interested. I already saw: a beauty.

That's what it is - a woman's ability to age beautifully? (About the masculine, I roughly imagine). Is it just intelligence, or upbringing, or instinct, or special know-how? Maybe it's just such a gift - to be beautiful at any age?

To puzzle over how to preserve youth, you will have to think about how to grow old beautifully.

Moreover, one should be afraid not only of external changes, but also of internal ones. Often, looking at older women, you are surprised and ask yourself: where did that gentle girl go, why did she turn into a shameless vulgar aunt? A striking example of such a transformation is the host of the TV show "Let's Get Married" Larisa Guzeeva. Unfortunately, now she actually resembles a matchmaker, moreover, of the most rude, philistine type.

She can be opposed to Nadezhda Babkin. She is also a brunette, but, with an initially common appearance, she looks more and more intelligent with age, and dresses with great taste, very carefully balancing on the verge of dividing fairground brightness and an excellent, at the same time fashionable and distinctive style.

Often you have to see women at an age who did not seem to notice that fashion has long changed and now it is not customary to dress and paint, as in their youth, which fell on the late 80s, with multi-colored shadows, purple blush, chemistry and fleece on head. All this looks strange now on its own, but coupled with excess weight and wrinkles, it is simply depressing. Also, a bright multi-colored manicure on wrinkled hands looks strange (if you want everyone to notice wrinkles and age spots on your hands, then this method is the best), an abundance of catchy jewelry, ultra-youth clothing and large prints.

Another serious mistake of older ladies is leggings and mini. No matter how well your figure is preserved, no matter how much you inject Botox and do braces, if you are over 35, then these clothes are not for you. Of course, exceptions are possible: calmly wear leggings with a long sweater (at least 10 cm lower than the priests) for a walk with the dog, in the country, at home with a T-shirt, even in resort town but nowhere else. The same can be said about the mini (though it's stupid to wear it for a walk with the dog). Another option - the mini can be worn with an unbuttoned raincoat, but also only for ladies who are not overweight.

Inability to dress for age is often sinned by women working in network companies. Especially at large conventions, when trainings, meetings with business coaches, and other corporate events are organized. There you can meet ladies far over 40 and far over 48 in mini size, in fluffy skirts, in leopard colors and ... oh, horror - in white tights. At first I could not understand what was the matter, then I figured it out. Many of them lived a rather difficult life, their youth fell on perestroika, the crazy 90s, reforms and crises. For the first time since their youth, network marketing gave them the opportunity to dress up - firstly, there was at least some money, and secondly, you need to correspond to the spirit of the company in which you work. And the ladies began to dress, and dress according to their own ideas of beauty, which have changed little since their student days, because they had no time for this all their lives. As a result, we get the style, which is popularly called: "retired confused".

How to grow old beautifully?

What to do if you were always not up to yourself, but you want men to pay attention (yes, young people, women want to be attractive at any age), people around you treated with respect, and children were proud of you?

1. The older a woman is, the more well-groomed she should look. What is forgiven for young girls will not get away with older ladies - disheveled or greasy hair, peeling varnish, lack of manicure, poorly fitting clothes, worn-out shoes, etc.

2. Get a good haircut. A good haircut is when I washed my hair, styled my hair with a hairdryer and the hairstyle is preserved until the next wash. A good master can do this even on the thinnest and most unruly hair, and your task is to find such a master.

3. Never, NEVER wear goodbye youth shoes! Now in stores there is a sea of ​​comfortable shoes with low heels and no heels at all, among which you can choose for yourself something not only comfortable, but also beautiful and fashionable.

4. Easy gait. In order to preserve it, as well as to be able to walk at least on a low, but heel must be observed simple rules: do not get fat, do not forget that movement is life, take care of your legs, make sure that enough calcium enters the body and that cracks and calluses do not appear on the heels. And don't shuffle!

5. Avoid acid colors in clothes, choose pastel shades. For example, muted pink, olive, beige, milk, coffee with milk, etc., look great with gray hair.

6. Keep your chin straight and good posture. A stooped back adds ten years to any beauty, and turns an elderly woman into a Baba Yaga.

7. The teeth must be in perfect order. Even if you have to wear dentures, they should be of good quality and not a hassle.

8. Health must be protected - watch your body, regularly undergo a medical examination, follow the instructions of doctors, eat right - when there is no health, there is no time for appearance.

9. Buy yourself some new clothes. Even if you have a lot of old things and you practically don’t wear anything, every season indulge yourself with something new, fashionable, stylish.

10. Pension is not a reason to stay at home and limit your social circle to your family and three girlfriends. The wider the circle of interests and the more acquaintances, the more you want to live and the more reasons to “push” in your new clothes.

11. Communicate with the opposite sex. If you are married, then stop grumbling at your husband and start rejoicing that you are still with you. close person... If he is there only out of habit, then it depends only on you to make sure that you again have common affairs and interests. If you are single, then just communicate with the opposite sex, in real life and on the Internet. By the way, here no one forbids you to open an incognito account, take a photo of a sexy blonde for your avatar and flirt heartily, or even engage in virtual sex. Yes, I agree - a stupid task, but after it grandmothers flutter like butterflies and their eyes burn like young ones :).

12. Learn to age beautifully from those who know how to do it, because there are actresses who remain elegant to a ripe old age, dress tastefully and evoke a feeling of respect, not pity.

13. How to grow old beautifully if life is simply not interesting? Liveliness of perception, optimism, curiosity, love - these are the feelings that help fight old age. Don’t whine, don’t complain, don’t talk about diseases, and don’t talk to pessimists.

14. Use everything that provides us in the fight against age modern science: vitamins, anti-aging creams, cosmetic procedures, cosmetic surgery, etc.

BEAUTY AND AGE

Look at this face full of charm, life and love.

This is the artist Constance Mayer, a friend of another artist, Pierre-Paul Prudhon, who painted this portrait.

They lived together for many years, not tying themselves by marriage (well, both artists, of course). And then the beauty of Constance began to fade. The poor woman looked in the mirror, sobbed and repeated: “I am ugly! My youth is gone! " And in the end she did, and cut her own throat with a razor.

Many European ladies exclaimed: "Oh, I will do so too if I live to be so old!" (True, by the time these romantic girls reached the age of Constance Meyer, Byronism had already gone out of fashion, which probably saved many women's lives).

And this is the main beauty of the Belle Epoque, Cleo de Merode.

(The title is almost official: in 1900, the album "One hundred and thirty-first beauties of Europe" was released, and Cleo was the very first of them).

She lived ninety-one years in the world, and at the end of her life she looked pretty good too. Moreover, as you can see, she was not young at all. In any case, my unsophisticated eye does not find traces of painful restoration work on this old but attractive face.

In the next decade, the title of Main Beauty was held by Lillian Gish.

This lady, too, somehow survived the autumn without any special tragedies, starred in films until the age of 93, and died at the hundredth year of her life, in a dream.

As you know, the Main Beauty of the Thirties Greta Garbo chose a completely different aging algorithm.

It probably took a long time to work on this look.

As you know, the Main Beauty of the Thirties Greta Garbo chose a completely different aging algorithm.
The Great Garbo did not want to grow old in front of everyone - for the entire second half of her long life she existed as a recluse. She refused to act in films, avoided appearing in public, did not allow herself to be photographed. This, of course, is not up to the throat with a razor, but also a kind of suicide, a burial alive.
Occasionally, especially nimble paparazzi managed to contrive and click the old woman

Lyubov Orlova. The first beauty of Soviet cinema of the 30-40s. She did not want to put up with old age and fought with it

.

At 72, after plastic surgery, she played her final role ... an 18-year-old girl.

Founders of Decleor cosmetics, we saw how wonderful you can look at 70 years old. And, probably, many took it useful tips note to myself. Let's continue the topic of preserving youth ..

When you look at photos of models who are not even over 30, but already over 50, aging is not at all scary. In Russia it is accepted
to dye their hair, and beautiful women with natural gray hair can be counted on one hand. It turns out that gray hair and wrinkles can look incredibly harmonious. See for yourself.

Carmen Dell'Orefis, 81
This model hit the Guinness Book of Records for the longest modeling career, which began at the age of 15. “Summing up my career, it should be said that the most unexpected and wonderful events in my life happened when I was open. I never lose hope of discovering new abilities in myself. Although I do not pretend to eternal life, I want my term
live in happiness, and meet death in high-heeled shoes! "

Cindy Joseph
Cindy Joseph's career began at the age of 49. From the fact that she decided to stop painting over the gray hair. She was noticed and is now filming for famous brands such as Olay, D&G, Bloomingdale, DKNY, Nordstrom and Bobbi Brown.

Jacqueline Murdoch, 82
Most recently, American dancer Jacqueline Murdoch starred in a Lanvin commercial. Why do you think Lanvin needs this? The desire to attract an older audience, which, as we can see, is ready to turn to the fashion world, or is it just a desire to create an unusual advertising campaign?

Jackie O'Shaughnessy, 60
While Lanvin's ad, even with an 82-year-old model, looks quite traditional, the scandalous American Apparel has definitely attracted 60-year-old Jackie O'Shaughnessy for shocking. Jackie had not worked as a model before. Here's what the brand says on their facebook page: “When we first saw Jackie this winter in a New York restaurant, there was so much
attractiveness that we introduced ourselves and moved our chairs to her table. And during a long discussion about a variety of things, from career choice and nutrition to the basics of relationships, age and beauty, we asked if she agreed to become the heroine of our photo shoot. "

Daphne Self, 83
Daphne Self first appeared on the catwalk more than 60 years ago. Now she regularly stars for fashion magazines and appears in advertisements for cosmetics companies. At the same time, it is reported that Daphne has never done plastic surgery. She has three children and several grandchildren.

Marie Helvin, 60

At the age of 57, Marie Helvin starred in an advertisement for Agent Provocateur lingerie. Here's what she says about her appearance and lifestyle: “I have no children. I have time to take care of my skin and body. I do not smoke. I don’t do botox injections. After all, who in the world can claim to know exactly how a woman should look at 57 years old? " Marie admits that keeping herself in good shape requires tremendous efforts from her and constant control over her diet.

Jilly Johnson, 58

Jilly Johnson interesting story: She starred in a commercial for Janet Rege lingerie at both 28 and 58 years old. Gilly was the first model to advertise this brand, and, as we can see, it is possible to look great in lingerie not only at 20 years old.

What do you think of these models? Do you believe that graceful aging is possible? Do they inspire you? Or maybe they cause unpleasant feelings? In any case, this is a very interesting trend that has just begun to develop and has hardly reached our country yet.
