I missed out on childhood because I had to grow up fast to support my parents. I'm still not ready to get old. I've always been taking good care of how I look. I'm 38 but I look 28. My husband is 6 yrs younger than me so I always feel that I have to look good for him all the time. He is gorgeous, sexy and young. I've been battling with weight for almost all my life and always managed to maintain a good figure. Now I'm starting to see a few wrinkles under my eyes and I'm panicking! Is it bad to be too conscious? Am I obsessed? Do you think it's wrong for me to want to look good all the time?

No u are not! People get old and start to look old. And yes we panic when we notice. It's normal... U can do something about it tho. If u want. Who doesn't want to look young forever??? Lots do. And some don't care. So no u are not obsess over yourself. YOu are just taking care of yourself. Like me, I will try my very best to look young the rest of my life. Exercising, eating proper & fantastic skin products. I'm doing this for myself not no guy or anyone. I just like to smile when I look in the mirror. When you see somthing pleasing to the eyes you can't help but smile. But of course u will still look older in time... But u can always look good old too!

:) Wow congrats on looking so great! my mum also gets told she looks younger than her age and she always gets excited. I can understand about battling weight i am battling my weight at the moment but to maintain a figure which resembles a 28 year old is wonderful. I think you are being really hard on yourself, remember if you have a wonderful husband and im sure that he loves you wether you are fit, fat or whatever. As always age is always going to occur you need to embrace this fact. Wrinkles are all apart of getting old, dont panic! try to look at the other positives you have like your great figure and husband.Sometimes it is bad to be too consious as you will start to become paranoid...Try not to look for the negatives but embrace all the wonderful positives in your life.. No i dont think its wrong for you to look good all the time this just shows you look after yourself and thats really important. Hope this helps goodluck with everything! :)

Everyone wants to look good, especially women, so no, I don't think you are obsessing. Wrinkles come from the cells of the skin cross linking. A good way to help this is with Vitamin E cream and also taking Vit.E in capsule form . Think of it like rubber. Over time rubber starts cross linking and cracking. The wrinkles are because the replication of the skin cells slows down as we age. Vit. E is an anti-oxidant that helps the cells replicate better and stay more elastic.

In short, the answer is YES you are overly concerned with your looks... at the risk of being cliche, you are too concerned about what's on the outside and not on the inside.
Do you think another 40 years from now when both you and your hubby look like shriveled prunes he will give a damn about how you look on the outside? He will only see your endurig inner beauty and shared love you've experienced through out your life journey together.
You may not want to hear this in such a direct manner, my dear, but the plain and simple truth of it is: YOU ARE BEING SHALLOW. If you focus more on the beauty of the day and the love you can share as opposed to how perky your boobs are today, you will be richly rewarded and receive more than you could ever dream possible.
Life is shorter than you know. Good luck and keep it real.

Im 13 so this is in my point of view.
I think that no matter what age a female is, they will always be obessed with how they look. starting to look old or showing any signs of wrinkle would bother any other women. no one wants to look like they are aging.
dont worry i think you are ok. this should be completely normal.

Everyone gets old. Its a very natural thing... dont worry about it. If he really loves you, he wont mind the wrinkles, only love them more eh?

i think its normal. i like to look good most of the time as well, no one is that perfect to look good *all* the time. =) he knows that you're older than him so it shouldnt be too much of a surprise for him. he should still love you the same

As long as you're making an effort, and your partner thinks you're beautiful, realize that you are what you are and you're beautiful for things other than what's on the outside.
You won't be young forever, but you can be beautiful forever.
