    You are beautiful. Thank you for your tips. I drink a gallon of water per day, wash my fash 2x per day applying vitamin c in the AM, apply retinol serum per day, eat healthy, weight training, walk. The #1 thing I do before starting my day is spend time with the Lord reading my Bible and praying.

      This is YOUR time, now!! Invest in yourself, and pour all the love that you needed, into yourself!
      Find something, every month, that makes you feel good, more beautiful, witty, creative, or at peace.
      Being free, can be a soft life.
      Also, therapy, and Tretinoin!!

      I am in a similar boat- 52 and now living with my elderly parents after giving up EVERYTHING and walking away from a living hell. Do NOT believe that you are ugly. You are beautiful! You are strong and YOU are a SURVIVOR! Believe in yourself and the strength it took to leave and start over. Walk straight and hold your head up high! We are walking along beside you.

      Please avoid relationships until you are basically healed. I only say basically because so many women don't give themselves a chance to get that far before getting involved again. You will get stronger as time goes by.

    I think your most important tip was learning to love yourself! I’ve never been really good at this but I truly believe most of our real beauty comes from within. If we choose to believe in ourselves, forgive ourselves and encourage ourselves with kind words then we have achieved a loveliness that shines brightly in this old world!

    I’m 72 and I’ve never done any cosmetic procedures. I’ve been interested in makeup since I was 12 or 13. I wasn’t into skin care as much because I didn’t realize how important it was. I never had skin problems, just the occasional huge zit during my period. I did tan up until about mid 30’s and I then developed an allergy to the sun. My advice to younger women is to take care of your skin & avoid the sun & wear sunscreen!! Great video.

    Like you, I started wearing and learning about makeup at the age of 14, at first because of breakouts, too! The only foundation I could afford said, "with sunscreen," and I didn't even know what that meant at the time. I am over 70 now and my skin really shows the care I have taken to protect it all these years. And yes, I slept with my naturally curly hair set on soup cans when I was a teen! My mom would clean and save them for me. I wish all young people would realize the power they have over the aging of their skin and bodies. I think posture, staying busy and having a youthful attitude is even more important. #over60

    This came up on my feed, and I am so glad that I watched this video! We are the same age and I don’t feel any different than I did in my teens. I have the ability to remember everything since I was about 2 years old. I remember Tiger Beat Magazine, I remember songs from the 50’s, 60’s loved the 70’s, probably my favorite decade, music and different smells, or fragrances really bring back memories. I always thought that things would always get better as the years progressed. We always had filmstrips in school that said by the year 2000 we would have flying cars and it all looked so great and futuristic! Even though the future was not what we hoped it would be,I always feel optimistic that things can still change for the better as far as the future is concerned. Love conquers hate, happiness and bringing joy to the world through meditation and positive thought and helping others, can change the world.🌟☀️

    You are simply stunning in every way! I'm wondering if you have tips for how you've kept your jawline from sagging? It's what bothers me the most on my face. I was also wondering if you've tried using estriol cream on your face now that you've stopped using HRT. As someone who went through an early menopause at 37, I'm always looking for ways to combat early skin aging (I am currently on HRT). I've read that it's not systemic, so safe to use without worries about increasing estrogen in the body. I've been using it for a few weeks now, and I do see a slight difference in plumpness of my skin already. :)

    What? No moisturizers? Whoa. That's a hard one to swallow. I'm in my 70's and just about a year and a half ago, I started going once a month to an esthetician for a monthly facial. She could not believe how dry my skin was, and asked me what moisturizer I use. I told her I use one, but not every single day. She told me that I need to moisturize every day to help the aging skin. How do you keep your skin so beautiful w/o a moisturizer. If I don't use one, I notice I get teensie weensie blackheads in certain areas of my face. Not a lot, but a few. Having a monthly facial helps me, because my eyesight is not that great anymore, so I cannot see to get them.

    Hello my gorgeous Melissa. I love that you are a spokesperson for women over 60. You are a natural beauty, inside and out.
    Oh yes, the jaw dropping. I remember all of the advice in Seventeen magazine.
    Interesting. My skin is so dry, that I have to use a moisturizer in my daily and nightly routine. All of our skins react differently.
    Accepting myself I'd a hard one for me. I'm my own worst critic.
    Like you, Tretinoin has been the most helpful in maintaining good skin. SPF is an absolute must, no matter what the weather. Eating veggies and fruits, and for me, eating a vegan diet.
    Thank you for such incredible advice. I just love you to pieces. ❤❤🥰💞

    I’m 61 & what I found most effective in getting rid of facial hair is to shave with an electric shaver & then use the IPL light to permanently remove it from my chin & upper lip. I used to use the epilator with rotating tweezers for other body parts but it would just hurt too badly for the face. Also people would get ingrown hairs when they used that too.
