The healthy habit every woman needs

Getting older can also mean getting wiser and healthier

Women feeling the need to justify their age has always fascinated me. Thankfully, I am guessing that my European DNA from my Dad’s side has given me good skin genes. I hold a vivid memory of my 83-year-old grandmother’s taut face and rosy cheeks. That is likely why aging gracefully has always been my goal.

Today, although I am menopausal as I type this, I am just as full of life and passion as I was in my youth. Even better, because of all the experiences I have had, I can confidently say that I wouldn’t trade for anything the insights I’ve gained.

I now realise that feeling and looking young regardless of your age is good, healthy skin. When I look in the mirror, instead of cringing at the sign of a new line on my forehead, I focus on the wisdom I see in my eyes. Instead of bemoaning menopause, I appreciate every moment that I have had up to this point.

That’s why I make sure I take care of myself. I want to still be well enough—both physically and mentally—to enjoy every bit of my life. I eat well, sleep enough, and keep up with my daily skincare routine, which often changes depending on what I believe my skin needs. Often, as simple as water and a good oil is enough.

Let me share with you kakadum plum oil. The kakadum plum is native to Australia and is the fruit that has the most amount of vitamin C in the world. I love this oil because it nourishes fine lines and keeps my skin bright and healthy. Now that’s one of the things that keeps me feeling young. (By the way, if you want to read more about the miraculous kakadum plum, I wrote about it in FIGS & FETA Magazine’s Issue 13. Subscribe now to get full access to this, and every other, issue.) Alabasta has a full arsenal when it comes to healthy skincare. Kakadum plum oil is one of their secret weapons.

My healthy skincare habits boost my confidence, for sure. And taking care of your skin can do the same for you. When you allow yourself to see through your changing face you will appreciate that there is so much greatness with the coming of age. In fact, I embrace it because each moment is a gift to live on this wonderful earth. The older we become, the more gifts we get! As long as we focus on staying healthy, we lose nothing by growing older and wiser.
