Because we both know the limits of even the most diligent retinol routine, an actor famous for her kittenish smile and tailored separates levels with me. For a woman on the rise in this business, there are not just parts to consider, but procedures.
Her face is her instrument, and it will require maintenance, but instead of using fillers-which she calls "the devil" she will stall out the aging process with treatments and lasers like Morpheus8 and Fraxel. And then, before she turns 50, she will invest in a surgical solution. With a grin, she deems it a kind of au naturel aging: It's her same skin, just less of it. As she explains: "It's low intervention until the facelift."
Despite the omnipresence of socalled Instagram face, with its characteristic puffed-up cheeks, button noses, and smoothed-out nasolabial folds, fillers are, in fact, a somewhat recent invention-and the actor is not alone in her scorn for them. It's been about two decades since the FDA approved the first non-animal hyaluronic acid injectable to treat and plump, after which doctors and medi-spa innovators used the aesthetics not just to approximate facial implants, but also to reshape jawlines and foreheads. Filler has made the nonsurgical nose job possible, and thinner formulas can now smooth out the hollows responsible for dark circles. But in 2022, when the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery issued its annual trend report, the findings showed that filler use is on the decline: Doctors were doing 14 percent fewer injections compared to the year before. Filler reversals are on the rise too.

The First Wild Garden - A new book celebrates the historic English garden that launched a modern movement.
Without naming the most grotesque examples of tree mutilation in England, it is clear that much beauty is lost in our gardens by the stupid and ignorant practice of cutting trees into unnatural shapes,” wrote the Victorian-era gardener William Robinson in Gravetye Manor: Or Twenty Years’ Work round an Old Manor House (1911). Robinson’s fighting words were laid out in the preface to his book, an account of the decades he spent creating his garden at the Elizabethan house of Gravetye Manor in Sussex, England, and recently reproduced in facsimile by Rizzoli alongside stunning contemporary photographs.
