This brief article discusses the effects that wrinkles may have on your self-esteem.
Wrinkles can have a profound impact on self-esteem.
Our current society places a premium on youthfulness, and age discrimination in the workplace, although illegal, has stalled many a person's career. Indeed, the emotional ramifications of aging explain in large part why the cosmetics industry and plastic surgeons thrive. The outward manifestations of age represent hard-won experience and character, and those who wear its natural signs with a healthy and happy outlook should be regarded with respect as role models. Before embarking on an expensive and ultimately futile attempt to keep time at bay, consider the real bases for self-esteem and the pursuit of a lifestyle that will bring true health and youthful vigor rather than an imitation of it. On the other hand, some people receive such psychologic benefit from simple wrinkle-reduction programs that it might help them avoid more intense and expensive therapeutic help.
