Age before beauty

With life expectancy soaring, women are reaching for new treatments to stop the outward signs of aging — swapping plastic surgery for diets, creams and a little bit of filler and Botox. Here, a ‘saggy-faced’ mother of three visits the skin doctor to the stars in a surprising search for eternal youth

I forgot to do all the steps of the skin-care routine. And I just kept on laughing and creasing up my face.

hasn’t gone through the roof and I look the same age as when I started. I am not thinner or leaner, my face is not plumper. I have failed.
