Cure for wrinkles

I think I have found a cure for wrinkles. I am 41 and I will admit I am just like every other woman. I spent my teen years generously slathering the wonderful concoction of baby oil and iodine on my skin. I spent my summers in the pool or the lake with the red glowing burn worn almost as a badge of beauty. As I hit my 30's, I noticed that I was getting more freckles, then I noticed the small laugh lines (who named them that? they will make a grown woman weep not laugh) around my eyes and mouth. Not until I was in my late 30's did I develop a serious regiment of taking care of my skin. No sleep until my face is washed, sunscreen, night cream, eye cream. As I hit my 40th b-day, I started getting the panicked buyer syndrome. I have drawers and cabinets full of products, promising to erase the 5 lines on my forehead, the grooves that always make me look like I am scowling, the crows feet at the corner of my eyes. Not to mention, the red blood vessels that burst as a consequence to giving birth numerous times. Or for the brown spots that often like to appear as the mustache above my lip. Alas, there was no magic cure. I have yet to wake up to find a whole new me that looks like Angelina.

Until, this year. Over the last 4 months, everytime I walk past my bedroom mirror, I notice that my wrinkles have vastly diminished. Especially, the 5 grooves on my brow. How you ask? Removing people and situations that cause stress. It doesn't work, as much, for the smile lines, but hey my forehead grooves rank a lot more noticeable for me. It occurred to me that since I lost my job and I am no longer in the office everyday, dealing with people and communicating through problems and issues that my lines are almost gone. I can tell that my forehead is much smoother. I spend my days now mostly alone. I have no reason to be animated. The computer doesn't care for any reaction from me. The lesson to learn, your attitude and instinctive facial habits do have an effect on your looks. When your mamma said not to make that face it might stay that way...she was right.
