Outward beauty is defined by youth - that is skin tautness, radiance and energy. Typically, youth stops after age 25. At 33, I look at the mirror and notice that crow's feet, laugh lines and forehead wrinkles have started to slowly appear. There's a modern solution to that- collagen or botox, which I'm not in favor of, though it can temporarily remove those unsightly lines. I have looked upon the web some images of Filipina women in the past and how they look like today. Like death and taxes, old age is unavoidable.
