Do you LOVE your skin?

You know we all look at ourselves with more criticisms than our friends do. I am one of three sisters,two of us are blond and one of us is brunette.(all in their forties). Can I tell you as a young girl I hated myself,I was different than my two sisters, I had darker olive skin, their skin was not.I was chubby, they were not. As we grew up and went off to High School, it certainly looked to me that Blonde’s definitely had more fun. All the boys liked my sisters, I did not garner the same reaction.

Off to college we all went one , then two years later I went and lastly two more years and little sister went. We all were in different states, Connecticut, New York and Rhode Island, then graduate school in Florida for one sister.

I am extremely close with both my sisters and we all have beautiful skin. We all look younger than our birth age. We often speak about how our Grandmothers had beautiful skin,one very pale and all Irish and the other olive skin and all Italian. We believe that DNA plays a part in our having good skin and we also agree that because we started taking better care of our skin in our twenties,and improving our regimes along the way has been a smart decision.We are not smokers and never have smoked. We do drink,not every day but wine often with meals and cocktails for fun.We have spent our summers in the sun and we do have sun damage,but we have less damage than most because we have been using sunscreens and wearing hats on the beach for many years now. SUN is the biggest damaging factor to aging our skin.

Your thoughts on this?  On your own skin,how do you feel about how you look. Would you consider having treatments?  I am looking at IPL treatments.  IPL Treatment: Lumenis Aesthetic
