Boundless beauty
In the black comedy Death Becomes Her Isabella Rossellini plays a stylish witch touting an immortality elixir. She moans, “This is life’s ultimate cruelty. It offers us a taste of youth and vitality and then it makes us witness our own decay.” In reality Rossellini is ripening not rotting with age. Having signed a Lancôme contract at 65 she’s luminous and loving life on her organic farm, producing pet projects such as hilarious Green Porno. Her secret? “With wrinkles, you have to assume them. And I have a lack of self-hatred. It seems to be working!” Allure no longer has an age limit thanks to mature icons such as Christie Brinkley, Joanna Lumley and Helen Mirren. Recently featured in HuffPost, cancer survivor Barbara Rabin looks sensational at 67. She says, “Sexy is self-confidence. It’s being comfortable in your own skin. It’s looking in the mirror and liking what I see.” None of these women resorted to drastic measures to preserve their appearance. They haven’t lost their unique look to the bizarre Barbie ideal care of Botox and fillers. Through effective self-care including skincare, diet, exercise and pleasure they’re getting better each birthday.
