I'm a 73 yr old Hispanic woman, who often has fallen into the "anti-aging" hype but recently decided to look at myself as the "healthy aging" woman that God has created me to be. Healthy in body, mind, and spirit. I just found your channel and you are such a refreshingly delightful woman. Keep it up!
You’re right cleansing and moisturizing my face is all I’ve ever needed and I’m sticking with it. I even for the 15th time see the beauty of my natural color hair so I am going to “age gracefully”❤
@@conniemurphyover70stillgla47 Hi Connie, your skin is absolutely beautiful and you look 15 years younger than you are so what you are doing has paid off for you. I remember a couple of years ago you and I talked about someone that was pushing expensive products and you tried them and you had problems that you have never had before. People are just out to make money off of us. You will look beautiful with your natural color of your hair, and I am happy for you that you are embracing it. Love you, Sheila.
I agree with you Sheila. I'm definitely pro-ageing with my silver hair and a few fine lines on my face. I do use a good moisturizer and knowing how to apply makeup correctly can work wonders for me. Having good family genes is also a great gift that God gave me. I used to think that when I turned 55 I would have a facelift, but decided against it and thought I'd put it off until I turned 65, then 70. Well, as the years went by, I decided I liked the way my face and body were aging and I've used the money I would have spent on a facelift for some fantastic vacations shared with my husband, who still thinks I'm beautiful... ha...ha... Great inside beauty tip this week.
Hi Rosemary, thank you so much for your comment and for sharing. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and no one is more critical of us than ourselves. I think it’s absolutely wonderful that you put your money into shared vacations and a lifetime of memories that you will always carry in your heart instead of a facelift, which would have to be redone 10 years later. Our husbands see us as beautiful because they love who we are. How gracious that God bless you with good genes. It is not about our body shape, the wrinkles on our skin or anything else. It is about the beauty that we have in our hearts that shines through and nothing is more beautiful than that. Much love to you, my friend, Sheila.
Same. I am 66 and stopped counting after 25. As my adult son said just a few days ago on his 45th birthday, he stopped counting after 23, because it doesn't matter anymore 😆
Hi Sheila 💕🌺 …. I love BOTOX and have been getting it every 6 months +/- for around 16 years. It definitely works if it’s started prior to deep lines sitting in. I get what I call ‘baby Botox’. A little on my forehead, around my eyes, between my eyes & at the bottom of my chin. It’s worth every penny to me but I do know it’s not for everyone …. I’m not a fan of fillers on the cheeks or under eyes for myself as I think they distort one’s face if it’s overdone. I get Botox just like I get highlights, facials, microdermabrasion, etc. I’ve never bought into the anti aging creams & devices. I do believe in taking care of my skin as best I can .. To each their own in using/purchasing devices but I don’t believe in their hype at all. You have to be careful with some devices as they can cause arrhythmia and palpitations.. Some of them even warn that the electrical current could cause rhythmic disturbances to the heart, which could be fatal.. As far as makeup goes I have always loved it 😍 …. I have some high end, some drug store & some that are modestly priced. I have been highlighting my hair my entire adult life and am thinking about stopping. Not because it’s seems to be trendy to do so, just starting to get more & more silver streaks in my roots …. Which has me going more often for highlight’s & it’s starting to damage my hair .. All my hair products are great but bleach is bleach and it’s damaging. I think I’d hate the growing out period though as I love long hair and don’t want to cut it. I’ve already had quite a few inches cut .. I’d hate my dark roots with silver to be halfway down and blonde at the bottom 🤦♀️ …. Don’t like that look period .. Still undecided about it! lol Great video as always my sweet friend! Love & Hugs, Karen 🤗🌺🌴🥥💕
Hi Karen, thank you so much for your comment and all that you shared. I have heard that if you start getting Botox before you develop wrinkles and deep lines that it can definitely slow that down and keep things softened. For me at my age, it wouldn’t do anything because the lines and wrinkles are etched in. I have also heard about some of those devices, causing heart problems and besides, if I wanted something done like that, I would definitely go to the dermatology office and have it done professionally, not try to do it myself at home. As you know, I like very minimal make up and that is probably because I never wore it until much later in life. I look better with some make up, but I absolutely hate the feeling of it being on my face. I guess that is all in what we get used to. I have never had my hair highlighted, low lighted or even professionally colored, but I did used to get perms every two months when I was younger. As far as hair goes, I have never had bleach on my hair, but I do color it at home and use light blonde. I cannot see gray in my hair, I’m sure it’s gotta be there, but I guess I can’t distinguish the gray from the color I put on. I don’t notice any gray roots. In fact, my roots get dark like my natural hair color. In the back it is multicolored. Some of it looks brown. Some of it looks gold. Some of it looks blonde and some of it has a tinge of red to it. My hair has always been multicolored and even though I do color my hair it never covers all those different colors. I would absolutely love to stop coloring and I don’t for only one reason, and that is that my hair becomes unmanageable as the color wears off. It looks more yellow, more frizz, and just doesn’t work right. If it wasn’t for that, I would just stop coloring it. In the end, I guess we all do what makes us feel like we look our best. I always love hearing from you, Karen, and I thank you so much! Much love to you, Sheila.
@@INSIDEBEAUTYwiththeoldgirl …. I loved getting perms in the 1980s! Big hair and Paul Mitchell Freeze & Shine Spray was so popular …. But I did have one traumatic experience with a perm when I was around 6 …. My hair was strait as stick and down to my butt. Grandma thought I needed curls & gave me a Lilt perm (they smelled so bad) … Remember those? My hair broke off/was fried & my mom was sooooo upset. She had to take me to a hair salon and they had to cut my hair very short. I looked awful lol. Grandma wasn’t allowed to perm my hair ever again! 😆 …. Yeah, I don’t know when I’ll be able to not highlight my hair. I have an appointment Saturday 😍. Recently went two months without highlighting because I had cataract surgery and my surgeon didn’t want any soap near my eyes for two weeks plus I had to use eye drops for a month .. My roots are dark but I sure can see silver in them. I think your hair is beautiful! You always have it styled so pretty 😍…. Love & Hugs my friend, Karen 🌺🌴🥥🩷
Hi Sheila, I really enjoyed this video and I do agree with what you are saying although I have to admit I did make a few purchases before I smartened up 🙄 I recently purchased a red light therapy mask that I like and use. I listened to a doctor talk about how the only way you were going to get rid of those wrinkles is if you get shots or have surgery. I am 77 years old and don’t plan on getting either. I believe in taking care of your skin and wearing make up because it does make a difference. And again some of it does have to do with genes. When people find out my age, they are shocked because they don’t think I look it or act it. I have always been young at heart and I guess I don’t act my age so I guess they are surprised when they hear it. I have arthritis in my hands, so no matter what I do I feel they show my age. Since my husband passed away, I have been doing a lot of crying which has had an effect on my eyes. But all I’m trying to do is look and feel the best I can “for my age.” I do like my make up though and don’t put it on too heavy but it does make me look better and when I look better, I feel better. Just saying…….. take care and I’ll see you again soon. Hugs, Dolores. ❤️💐🙏
Hi Dolores, thank you so much for your comment. How are you doing? It must be so hard for you and adjusting to life without your beloved Tim. I can’t even imagine what I would feel like and how lost I would be. I also have a red light therapy mask and have been using it for three years and absolutely love it. I think it is great for the health of your skin and they don’t make false claims that it’s gonna make you look 10 years younger. I do think genes play a big part and how we age. You have beautiful skin and you don’t look anywhere near 77 years old. When we go through things, it does take a toll on our face. I completely understand why you would be crying all the time and probably not sleeping well either. Makeup does make a difference and I agree with you completely that when we look better, we feel better. My heart aches for you and I am glad you are taking the time to grieve and feel the grief which is the healthy thing to do. When I lost my mother and my sister last year, six months apart, I never had time to grieve. When my mother died, my sister was already very sick so I went straight into caregiving for her. When she died, her husband had a cardiac arrest, and I was back to caregiving again. Someday, I will have to face and deal with the grief that I have shoved deep inside. thank you again and know that you are in my thoughts and my prayers. Much love, Sheila.
I wholeheartedly agree! Aside from some chemical peels and such , I think makeup will make the biggest difference in your overall look . You have beautiful skin , soft & glowing . Great topic & thanks for sharing !!🌸🌸🌸
Hi and thank you so much for your comment. Yes, make up really does add to our look and can camouflage some flaws that we may have. I believe in peels, I exfoliate my face using glycolic acid. I just get so tired of seeing videos that put so much emphasis on how to look 10 years younger, and then trying to sell you products and telling you it will do the trick. I’m so glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for your very kind words. Much love, Sheila.
I’m totally with you on the “anti-aging” myth! It’s so important to celebrate aging rather than hide it. I love how you focus on real skin health and self-acceptance instead of chasing those impossible promises. Your take on embracing our natural beauty, both inside and out, is a breath of fresh air. Aging is personal and private, and it’s great to hear you talk about it with such honesty and positivity!❤
@@VickiMarieLivingLife Hi Vicki, thank you so much for your comment. It sounds like you and I are on the same page about this topic. Aging is the price we pay for still being here, if people looked at it that way they would be so grateful and would never give into their wrinkles again. There is no comparison when looking at my 73 year-old face, and then realizing how blessed I am to still be here and love my grandchildren and my children and Dave. Thank you for your very kind words! Love and blessings, Sheila
Agree with it all. Very wise words. We can spend so much time and money preoccupied with our looks instead of enjoying the life we have been given. Thanks Sheila😊
Hi Bettinagerl, thank you so much for your comment and your words of wisdom. The fact that we are still here is something that we should be thankful for each and every day and spending time showing our gratitude, not wasting time obsessed with how we look. I am sure we all know someone that left this world way too early and that alone should make us extremely grateful to still be here. Much love to you, Sheila.
I whole-heartedly agree! I stopped using all of those so-called expensive creams, lotions, etc. I now use non-chemical simple cleansers, etc. By the way, you are absolutely gorgeous!
@@ellenreiner7311 Hi Ellen, thank you so very much for your kind comment. It is so easy to get sucked into the promises and claims of these expensive products and devices, yet we soon learn they will not change anything. The UA-camrs that promote all these devices and expensive products are really doing a disservice and playing on peoples insecurities. The part that bothers me the most is that they always tell you they have links to everything and a discount code. Would they really promote these things if they weren’t making money off the sales and didn’t get the products for free? Thank you so much for sharing, I sure do appreciate it. Love, Sheila.
Beautiful perspective. I totally catch myself peeking over the ledge onto all these gadgets, devices, etc. 😅🤣 The marketing is incredible. This resonates w staying true to what’s really important to me. Many of us desire to celebrate aging authentically taking good care of ourselves. 💐
@@Pah.3550 Hi and thank you so much for your comment. There really is no way to fight aging, and in my opinion, the gratitude that we are still here to live. The life we have is the only thing that matters. Our kids, spouse and grandkids could care less if we have wrinkles or saggy, skin or bags under our eyes, it only matters that we are still here to love them and create more memories with them. Much love, Sheila.
Hi Sheila, love your take on fighting ageing , we get older each day . I feel the same as you , these companies are playing on peoples insecurities. When i see photos of when i was young with no wrinkles that’s enough for me. I led a happy life I’m grateful for that, I haven’t got time for looking at wrinkles they are what they are . But if someone feels the need to eradicate theirs with face lifts or these gadgets then good luck to them, I really do think that happiness shows on our faces . I agreed there are some beautiful women whom have just taken care of their skin that look beautiful. Sending love to you Sheila let’s enjoy our lives in the moment 🥰
Hi Elaine, I just love your attitude! you know what really matters, and it certainly isn’t how many wrinkles we have on our face. Why can’t we just look in the mirror and thank God that we are still here to live our lives and love our families? I am with you, Elaine, let’s enjoy our lives and appreciate every moment.

@@joywise2595 Hi Joy, thank you so much for your kind comment but trust me, I look 73 years old. Setting in front of a window with natural light or any kind of light camouflage it’s a lot of things. I wear my years on my face just like everyone else does, but my skin is healthy and that is what matters to me. I really don’t think anyone else pays any attention to the lines on our face or if our skin is sagging or whatever. I think we are the only ones that look at ourselves and find many things to criticize. Much love to you, Sheila
I totally agree with you 100 % ...That is what I do....Just take care of myself and have a healthy diet. That to me is what helps//////////////////MINDY
@@kindred1113 Hi Mindy, thank you so much for your comment. I do the best I can to take care of the health of my skin, but I am not fooled to believe that any cream or serums or lotions are going to make me look 10 years younger. I wish I could say I have a healthy diet, but I do not. I do not eat right and I definitely don’t drink much water although I am drinking a lot of propel to get the liquids and the electrolytes. Thank you so much for sharing, I really do appreciate it. Love, Sheila.
@@deborah3912 hi Deborah, thank you so much for your comment and for contributing to the conversation. I also use retin A, I started about three years ago. I definitely think that Retin-A helps with the health of our skin, normalizing skin cell turnover, and it is wonderful for acne and other conditions on the face. I do believe, if you started early enough, before the wrinkles have a chance to really settle in, it will slow that down. In my case, since I didn’t start using it until I was, close to 70 years old, the wrinkles were already etched into my face. I have also had a new face and used it often on for about a year. It did lift my eyelids somewhat, I don’t know if anyone else would’ve noticed, but I did however it would only last several hours of the day and then I would have to do it again. I think these different things can make us look better temporarily, but they are not a permanent fix.I don’t know what your age is and as I said earlier, maybe if you catch things before they get etched in you notice some great results. As we age and get into our 70s, we age more and more each day and I think this old girl started way too late. Thank you so very much for sharing! Love, Sheila
Thank you! I love this! I got caught up in the trap of buying all kinds of lotions, potions, gadgets, etc, all a waste of money! I do love the LED Red Light Mask & lymphatic drainage massage on my face. I had a horror story with a small amount of filler that migrated under my under eye & ended up looking like a huge under eye bag that I didn’t have! It was all swelling!
@@SashaRose-d9l hi Sasha, thank you so much for your comment and sharing that you loved the video, that was so kind of you! It is easy to get caught up in the trap of buying all this stuff, especially after we look in the mirror ha ha. Most of it is all gimmicky, but I agree with you completely on the red light therapy mask which I use daily for the health of my skin. I also believe in lymphatic drainage as that is very important as well. You see these people on UA-cam who look great and get all the credit to all these different gadgets and devices or Botox and fillers. They never talk about the downside of these things and what can go wrong, plus their faces are camouflaged by filters and extensive lighting. I am so sorry that you had that problem under your eye with filler, but as the same goes, when we know better, we do better. thank you so much for sharing and for being here! Love, Sheila
I do think using things like high factor SPF, Tretinoin, a good diet, not drinking or smoking, exercises and so on does help with how your skin ages especially if you start early in your 20's and keep it up over time. Things like HRT, dermal needling, skin peels also work and I think certain devices like LED and Microcurrent help as well but again it is about consitancy and so if people don't enjoy using them its kind of pointless. Also no matter what you do we are all still going to age and eventually die, there isn't yet a device that prevents that! I totally agree with you that there is a lot of false advertising on youtube and social media which just doesn't show realistic results and some content creators who aren't disclosing other interventions like surgeries and injectables. I also agree with what you say about the beauty of older people. The ever beautiful Diane Keaton who is also a talented photographer spoke about how beautiful she finds older faces back in the 70's when she was photographing older people and I think she is right, its all about having the eyes to see it though and it feels like often culture and advertising strip us of that ability to be able to see that beauty because it isn't as commodifiable as youth can be.
@@Klute1977 hi and thank you so much for your comment and for all that you shared. I have to agree with you that if we start young by protecting our skin from the harmful rays of the sun, eat a good diet, exercise, and so on, it can really help. I don’t even know if they made sunscreen back when I was in my 20s, we went outside and baked in the sun all day long every chance we got there was never any talk about good diets and exercises and those kind of things. There were no commercials about it, and it wasn’t plastered in all the magazines. The devices may work if you have a good base to start with but for me, I just don’t feel like they would be effective if you’re starting in your mid 60s and above because the damage has already been done. I am sure that our genes play a big part in our aging process. We try so hard to do all the things to have beautiful skin, and yet when I think back to both of my grandmothers, they had beautiful skin even in their 80s and all they ever used was ponds cold cream. I wonder why that is? They weren’t putting vitamin C on their face and niacinamide and all the peptides and ceramides etc. The elderly or just beautiful to me with their lines and wrinkles because it is part of their story, the story of their life. Having witnessed both my mom and my sister within hours of their death, their skin never looked more beautiful. Love, Sheila.
I started skincare at age 9; started eye cream at 13. When I was a teen in the 70s, Jacklyn Smith from Charlie's Angels said she never went in the sun, so I decided right then that I wanted to look as beautiful as she did, so I stopped tanning. I have been using medical microcurrent (I have the machine) since I turned 42 (I'm 66), and I also use red light therapy 4 - 5 times weekly. I never smoked and avoid alcohol since I grew up with it in the house, and I stick with a plant based diet. I also meditate and stay in the present when my mind wanders to things I cannot control. All of these things add up to be as youthful as we can be.
@@athena3865 Hi Athena, thank you so much for your comment. I sure was late to the party, you started skincare at the age of 9 and I started at the age of 68. I was a sunbather for sure spending hours laying in the sun. I do have a red light therapy mask which I use every single morning and I love it. Some of us who did not take care of our skin may not look as youthful as others, however, I believe the most youthful look comes from the inside out, from our vibrant spirit, and that young girl that still lives inside of us all. my mother died at the age of 96 and she had absolutely beautiful skin, looked 20 years younger than her age and she did all the wrong things. She never used skincare in her life with the exception of a moisturizer. She was an avid sunbather her whole life up into her 90s and she smoked from age 12 to age 88. She definitely got the right genes, sure wish I would have gotten them! Thank you so much for sharing, I bet your skin is absolutely gorgeous. Love, Sheila.
Actually, IMO you can anti-age. I started with arthritis about a decade ago and it got so bad I had to give up my Pilates Reformer that I loved so much. Over the last year I started drinking white and herb tea, and added ginger chews and soy products like tofu and soy yogurt to my plant based diet. The arthritis pain is gone nearly everyday, now. I am on zero meds at 66, and my skin is youthful (I don't go in the sun and I use a spa skincare line). If I had not made these changes, I would be suffering terribly, as I could not even stand upright many times from joint injuries just a year ago.
@@athena3865 Hi Athena, thank you so much for your comment. I am so sorry that you had to deal with arthritis, but I am very happy that you now have it under control and rarely have to deal with it. I believe natural remedies are the best way to go when trying to solve a problem, and there is nothing wrong with trying different things to see what works. I don’t doctor at all, so I self treat. Fortunately, I have never had anything major to deal with, but just the little annoying things that happened to us as we age. I have been completely successful with staying out of the medical system. I think it is fine for acute conditions, like an emergency room visit, but not for other health concerns. I have never been on any long-term medication’s. I have had to take an antibiotic maybe five times in my life and I don’t believe in them either. Open up the good work and you will keep yourself out of the corrupted medical system. Thank you so much for sharing! Love, Sheila.
I think I'm remembering you had micro-needling done on your face? If so is that something you're continuing to do? I appreciate the topic of the video.
Hi Anita, thank you so much for your comment. Yes, I did have micro needling done by the dermatologist. I don’t buy those devices that you can do it yourself at home. It helps with any type of scarring, discoloration, and skin tone. I would definitely do it again and will plan to do that in the fall. I recently had a cyst removed, and it has left a scar. The micro needling will increase collagen to repair the area where they removed the cyst. So glad you enjoyed the topic of the video and I appreciate you watching. Much love, Sheila.

I listened to a doctor talk about how the only way you were going to get rid of those wrinkles is if you get shots or have surgery. I am 77 years old and don’t plan on getting either. I believe in taking care of your skin and wearing make up because it does make a difference. And again some of it does have to do with genes. When people find out my age, they are shocked because they don’t think I look it or act it. I have always been young at heart and I guess I don’t act my age so I guess they are surprised when they hear it. I have arthritis in my hands, so no matter what I do I feel they show my age. Since my husband passed away, I have been doing a lot of crying which has had an effect on my eyes. But all I’m trying to do is look and feel the best I can “for my age.” I do like my make up though and don’t put it on too heavy but it does make me look better and when I look better, I feel better. Just saying…….. take care and I’ll see you again soon. Hugs, Dolores. ❤️💐🙏
Hi Dolores, thank you so much for your comment. How are you doing? It must be so hard for you and adjusting to life without your beloved Tim. I can’t even imagine what I would feel like and how lost I would be. I also have a red light therapy mask and have been using it for three years and absolutely love it. I think it is great for the health of your skin and they don’t make false claims that it’s gonna make you look 10 years younger. I do think genes play a big part and how we age. You have beautiful skin and you don’t look anywhere near 77 years old. When we go through things, it does take a toll on our face. I completely understand why you would be crying all the time and probably not sleeping well either. Makeup does make a difference and I agree with you completely that when we look better, we feel better. My heart aches for you and I am glad you are taking the time to grieve and feel the grief which is the healthy thing to do. When I lost my mother and my sister last year, six months apart, I never had time to grieve. When my mother died, my sister was already very sick so I went straight into caregiving for her. When she died, her husband had a cardiac arrest, and I was back to caregiving again. Someday, I will have to face and deal with the grief that I have shoved deep inside. thank you again and know that you are in my thoughts and my prayers. Much love, Sheila.
I wholeheartedly agree! Aside from some chemical peels and such , I think makeup will make the biggest difference in your overall look . You have beautiful skin , soft & glowing . Great topic & thanks for sharing !!🌸🌸🌸
Hi and thank you so much for your comment. Yes, make up really does add to our look and can camouflage some flaws that we may have. I believe in peels, I exfoliate my face using glycolic acid. I just get so tired of seeing videos that put so much emphasis on how to look 10 years younger, and then trying to sell you products and telling you it will do the trick. I’m so glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for your very kind words. Much love, Sheila.
I’m totally with you on the “anti-aging” myth! It’s so important to celebrate aging rather than hide it. I love how you focus on real skin health and self-acceptance instead of chasing those impossible promises. Your take on embracing our natural beauty, both inside and out, is a breath of fresh air. Aging is personal and private, and it’s great to hear you talk about it with such honesty and positivity!❤
@@VickiMarieLivingLife Hi Vicki, thank you so much for your comment. It sounds like you and I are on the same page about this topic. Aging is the price we pay for still being here, if people looked at it that way they would be so grateful and would never give into their wrinkles again. There is no comparison when looking at my 73 year-old face, and then realizing how blessed I am to still be here and love my grandchildren and my children and Dave. Thank you for your very kind words! Love and blessings, Sheila
Agree with it all. Very wise words. We can spend so much time and money preoccupied with our looks instead of enjoying the life we have been given. Thanks Sheila😊
Hi Bettinagerl, thank you so much for your comment and your words of wisdom. The fact that we are still here is something that we should be thankful for each and every day and spending time showing our gratitude, not wasting time obsessed with how we look. I am sure we all know someone that left this world way too early and that alone should make us extremely grateful to still be here. Much love to you, Sheila.
I whole-heartedly agree! I stopped using all of those so-called expensive creams, lotions, etc. I now use non-chemical simple cleansers, etc. By the way, you are absolutely gorgeous!
@@ellenreiner7311 Hi Ellen, thank you so very much for your kind comment. It is so easy to get sucked into the promises and claims of these expensive products and devices, yet we soon learn they will not change anything. The UA-camrs that promote all these devices and expensive products are really doing a disservice and playing on peoples insecurities. The part that bothers me the most is that they always tell you they have links to everything and a discount code. Would they really promote these things if they weren’t making money off the sales and didn’t get the products for free? Thank you so much for sharing, I sure do appreciate it. Love, Sheila.
Beautiful perspective. I totally catch myself peeking over the ledge onto all these gadgets, devices, etc. 😅🤣 The marketing is incredible. This resonates w staying true to what’s really important to me. Many of us desire to celebrate aging authentically taking good care of ourselves. 💐
@@Pah.3550 Hi and thank you so much for your comment. There really is no way to fight aging, and in my opinion, the gratitude that we are still here to live. The life we have is the only thing that matters. Our kids, spouse and grandkids could care less if we have wrinkles or saggy, skin or bags under our eyes, it only matters that we are still here to love them and create more memories with them. Much love, Sheila.
Hi Sheila, love your take on fighting ageing , we get older each day . I feel the same as you , these companies are playing on peoples insecurities. When i see photos of when i was young with no wrinkles that’s enough for me. I led a happy life I’m grateful for that, I haven’t got time for looking at wrinkles they are what they are .
But if someone feels the need to eradicate theirs with face lifts or these gadgets then good luck to them, I really do think that happiness shows on our faces . I agreed there are some beautiful women whom have just taken care of their skin that look beautiful.
Sending love to you Sheila let’s enjoy our lives in the moment 🥰
Hi Elaine, I just love your attitude! you know what really matters, and it certainly isn’t how many wrinkles we have on our face. Why can’t we just look in the mirror and thank God that we are still here to live our lives and love our families? I am with you, Elaine, let’s enjoy our lives and appreciate every moment.

Great video Sheila! I agree 300% about the beauty industry. And you do have pretty skin! I’m 72 but my skin looks it!!
@@joywise2595 Hi Joy, thank you so much for your kind comment but trust me, I look 73 years old. Setting in front of a window with natural light or any kind of light camouflage it’s a lot of things. I wear my years on my face just like everyone else does, but my skin is healthy and that is what matters to me. I really don’t think anyone else pays any attention to the lines on our face or if our skin is sagging or whatever. I think we are the only ones that look at ourselves and find many things to criticize. Much love to you, Sheila
I totally agree with you 100 % ...That is what I do....Just take care of myself and have a healthy diet. That to me is what helps//////////////////MINDY
@@kindred1113 Hi Mindy, thank you so much for your comment. I do the best I can to take care of the health of my skin, but I am not fooled to believe that any cream or serums or lotions are going to make me look 10 years younger. I wish I could say I have a healthy diet, but I do not. I do not eat right and I definitely don’t drink much water although I am drinking a lot of propel to get the liquids and the electrolytes. Thank you so much for sharing, I really do appreciate it. Love, Sheila.
I do, retin-a has transformed my skin, also I see a difference in my eyelids when I use my NuFace. But to each his own opinion.
@@deborah3912 hi Deborah, thank you so much for your comment and for contributing to the conversation. I also use retin A, I started about three years ago. I definitely think that Retin-A helps with the health of our skin, normalizing skin cell turnover, and it is wonderful for acne and other conditions on the face. I do believe, if you started early enough, before the wrinkles have a chance to really settle in, it will slow that down. In my case, since I didn’t start using it until I was, close to 70 years old, the wrinkles were already etched into my face. I have also had a new face and used it often on for about a year. It did lift my eyelids somewhat, I don’t know if anyone else would’ve noticed, but I did however it would only last several hours of the day and then I would have to do it again. I think these different things can make us look better temporarily, but they are not a permanent fix.I don’t know what your age is and as I said earlier, maybe if you catch things before they get etched in you notice some great results. As we age and get into our 70s, we age more and more each day and I think this old girl started way too late. Thank you so very much for sharing! Love, Sheila
Thank you! I love this! I got caught up in the trap of buying all kinds of lotions, potions, gadgets, etc, all a waste of money! I do love the LED Red Light Mask & lymphatic drainage massage on my face. I had a horror story with a small amount of filler that migrated under my under eye & ended up looking like a huge under eye bag that I didn’t have! It was all swelling!
@@SashaRose-d9l hi Sasha, thank you so much for your comment and sharing that you loved the video, that was so kind of you! It is easy to get caught up in the trap of buying all this stuff, especially after we look in the mirror ha ha. Most of it is all gimmicky, but I agree with you completely on the red light therapy mask which I use daily for the health of my skin. I also believe in lymphatic drainage as that is very important as well. You see these people on UA-cam who look great and get all the credit to all these different gadgets and devices or Botox and fillers. They never talk about the downside of these things and what can go wrong, plus their faces are camouflaged by filters and extensive lighting. I am so sorry that you had that problem under your eye with filler, but as the same goes, when we know better, we do better. thank you so much for sharing and for being here! Love, Sheila

Hello, Sheila. Thank you so much.
@@128titanic Hi, I always appreciate your comment and hearing from you and I’m very grateful love, Sheila
I do think using things like high factor SPF, Tretinoin, a good diet, not drinking or smoking, exercises and so on does help with how your skin ages especially if you start early in your 20's and keep it up over time. Things like HRT, dermal needling, skin peels also work and I think certain devices like LED and Microcurrent help as well but again it is about consitancy and so if people don't enjoy using them its kind of pointless. Also no matter what you do we are all still going to age and eventually die, there isn't yet a device that prevents that!
I totally agree with you that there is a lot of false advertising on youtube and social media which just doesn't show realistic results and some content creators who aren't disclosing other interventions like surgeries and injectables. I also agree with what you say about the beauty of older people. The ever beautiful Diane Keaton who is also a talented photographer spoke about how beautiful she finds older faces back in the 70's when she was photographing older people and I think she is right, its all about having the eyes to see it though and it feels like often culture and advertising strip us of that ability to be able to see that beauty because it isn't as commodifiable as youth can be.
@@Klute1977 hi and thank you so much for your comment and for all that you shared. I have to agree with you that if we start young by protecting our skin from the harmful rays of the sun, eat a good diet, exercise, and so on, it can really help. I don’t even know if they made sunscreen back when I was in my 20s, we went outside and baked in the sun all day long every chance we got there was never any talk about good diets and exercises and those kind of things. There were no commercials about it, and it wasn’t plastered in all the magazines. The devices may work if you have a good base to start with but for me, I just don’t feel like they would be effective if you’re starting in your mid 60s and above because the damage has already been done. I am sure that our genes play a big part in our aging process. We try so hard to do all the things to have beautiful skin, and yet when I think back to both of my grandmothers, they had beautiful skin even in their 80s and all they ever used was ponds cold cream. I wonder why that is? They weren’t putting vitamin C on their face and niacinamide and all the peptides and ceramides etc. The elderly or just beautiful to me with their lines and wrinkles because it is part of their story, the story of their life. Having witnessed both my mom and my sister within hours of their death, their skin never looked more beautiful. Love, Sheila.
I started skincare at age 9; started eye cream at 13. When I was a teen in the 70s, Jacklyn Smith from Charlie's Angels said she never went in the sun, so I decided right then that I wanted to look as beautiful as she did, so I stopped tanning. I have been using medical microcurrent (I have the machine) since I turned 42 (I'm 66), and I also use red light therapy 4 - 5 times weekly. I never smoked and avoid alcohol since I grew up with it in the house, and I stick with a plant based diet. I also meditate and stay in the present when my mind wanders to things I cannot control. All of these things add up to be as youthful as we can be.
@@athena3865 Hi Athena, thank you so much for your comment. I sure was late to the party, you started skincare at the age of 9 and I started at the age of 68. I was a sunbather for sure spending hours laying in the sun. I do have a red light therapy mask which I use every single morning and I love it. Some of us who did not take care of our skin may not look as youthful as others, however, I believe the most youthful look comes from the inside out, from our vibrant spirit, and that young girl that still lives inside of us all. my mother died at the age of 96 and she had absolutely beautiful skin, looked 20 years younger than her age and she did all the wrong things. She never used skincare in her life with the exception of a moisturizer. She was an avid sunbather her whole life up into her 90s and she smoked from age 12 to age 88. She definitely got the right genes, sure wish I would have gotten them! Thank you so much for sharing, I bet your skin is absolutely gorgeous. Love, Sheila.
Actually, IMO you can anti-age. I started with arthritis about a decade ago and it got so bad I had to give up my Pilates Reformer that I loved so much. Over the last year I started drinking white and herb tea, and added ginger chews and soy products like tofu and soy yogurt to my plant based diet. The arthritis pain is gone nearly everyday, now. I am on zero meds at 66, and my skin is youthful (I don't go in the sun and I use a spa skincare line). If I had not made these changes, I would be suffering terribly, as I could not even stand upright many times from joint injuries just a year ago.
@@athena3865 Hi Athena, thank you so much for your comment. I am so sorry that you had to deal with arthritis, but I am very happy that you now have it under control and rarely have to deal with it. I believe natural remedies are the best way to go when trying to solve a problem, and there is nothing wrong with trying different things to see what works. I don’t doctor at all, so I self treat. Fortunately, I have never had anything major to deal with, but just the little annoying things that happened to us as we age. I have been completely successful with staying out of the medical system. I think it is fine for acute conditions, like an emergency room visit, but not for other health concerns. I have never been on any long-term medication’s. I have had to take an antibiotic maybe five times in my life and I don’t believe in them either. Open up the good work and you will keep yourself out of the corrupted medical system. Thank you so much for sharing! Love, Sheila.
I think I'm remembering you had micro-needling done on your face? If so is that something you're continuing to do?
I appreciate the topic of the video.
Hi Anita, thank you so much for your comment. Yes, I did have micro needling done by the dermatologist. I don’t buy those devices that you can do it yourself at home. It helps with any type of scarring, discoloration, and skin tone. I would definitely do it again and will plan to do that in the fall. I recently had a cyst removed, and it has left a scar. The micro needling will increase collagen to repair the area where they removed the cyst. So glad you enjoyed the topic of the video and I appreciate you watching. Much love, Sheila.
I agree with you 100%
@@monikadale6563 thank you Monica, I can’t stand all the pushing of products and other items and the reminders to be sure to use their links just so they can make a commission. They are not giving anything they are taking, and that is very sad. Love, Sheila.
