以下是那些抗衰老護膚品的標籤,沒有告訴你的事情。我們急著除去皺紋、拉緊肌膚,但忘了替自己的腦袋迎接衰老;衰老是一個不能逆轉的自然定律。來,那些抗衰老護膚品沒替你照顧到的事情,讓你一定認識的她們,跟你上一趟「衰老七課」。
Never Eradicate Your History
要是你恐懼看見衰老的證據,而去整容,那麼即使你的皺紋消失了,肌膚緊緻彈滑,你依然有顆衰老的心。不是嗎?難道有年輕人會終日擔心自己有皺紋嗎?
I haven’t done any [cosmetic surgery], but who knows … When you’ve had children, your body changes; there’s history to it. I like the evolution of that history. I think it’s important to not eradicate it. And if you’re doing it out of fear, that fear’s still going to be seen through your eyes.
— Cate Blanchett
Being Attractive At Any Age
人人說,十八廿二是黃金年華;但也有女人三十一枝花的說法。事實上,我們與其或追逐、哀悼這三四年瞬間即逝的年華,倒不如讓自己成為在任何年齡都有吸引力的人,這不是更有挑戰性,而又更可行嗎?
Aging gracefully is about no heavy makeup, and not too much powder because it gets into the wrinkles. You don’t have to look like an old fuddy-duddy, but I believe it was Chanel who said, ‘Nothing makes a woman look so old as trying desperately hard to look young’. I think you can be attractive at any age. I think trying to look like a spring chicken when you’re not makes you look ridiculous.
—Iris Apfel
優雅地老化與濃妝無關,太多的粉末會在皺紋間卡住。 你不必看起來像一個老傻瓜,但我相信香奈兒所說,「沒有什麼能讓一個女人真正老去,除非她拼命追求年輕的外表。」。我認為你可以在任何年齡都有吸引力;當盲目追求一些已逝去的年華看起來會很荒謬。
Age Is A Concept Created By Us
我們恐懼衰老,所以千方百計去阻止它發生;近來看到一則新聞,是關於替老年人輸血的研究,將老人體內換成年輕人的血液,能延年益壽。然而你何曾想過,我們如此追求長生不老,是否被我們所創造的時間而造繭自縛呢?
Some people are old when they’re 18 and some people are young when they’re 90. You can’t define people by whatever society determines as their age. Time is a concept that human beings created.
—Yoko Ono
有些人18歲時就已經老了,然而有些人90歲時還年輕。你無法用任何社會認定的年齡來定義人,畢竟時間是人類創造的概念。
Stop Wanting To Be What You’re Not
不知道從何時起年齡成了不能說的秘密。我們都想看起來年輕一點;當別人說你比真實年齡年輕得多的時候,我們總是對此表示開心。然而,是什麼讓我們總想否認隨年漸長的事實呢?來吧,不管你現在幾多歲,也是時候擁抱自己了。
People who lie about their age are denying the truth and contributing to a sickness pervading our society—the sickness of wanting to be what you’re not…. I know for sure that only by owning who and what you are can you step into the fullness of life.
—Oprah Winfrey
那些謊報年齡的人是在否認真相,並導致我們的社會瀰漫著疾病 ——一種偽裝的妄想疾病……我確信只有擁抱自己,才能步進豐盛的生活。
The Way To Handle Ageing is on you
不論貧窮或富貴、男或女,隨年漸長是每個人都要經歷的事實;但你如何看待它,如何處理它,卻是個人的決定。你可以老得大方優雅,也可以老得憤世嫉俗!
Aging is out of your control. How you handle it, though, is in your hands….
—Diane Von Furstenberg
你無法控制自己老去, 但是,如何去處理它的主導權卻在你手中……
Wrinkles is a proof
伊莉莎伯女王曾經著攝影師別要修圖、別去掉她的皺紋,對於她來說,這些皺紋活著的證明。不是說我們需要證據來證明曾經活著,反而是明白這些皺紋是人生路上的必然,而不是一些需要刪去的多餘品。
I would not want it to be thought that I had lived for all these years without having anything to show for it.
– Queen Elizabeth
我不想別人認為我活了這麼多年,卻沒有任何活著的證明。
Things Get Better With Age
長大後可以自己獨遊、可以自己外出、可以自行作決定,成長伴隨著更多的人生控制權;隨著跟自己相處的時間漸長,亦會更了解自己。難怪Michelle Obama 會說,「年齡的增長使一切都變得更好。」
To me, with age, everything has gotten better. You have way more control; you know yourself better. My goal is to be a great-looking 70-year-old!
– Michelle Obama
對我來說,隨著年齡的增長,一切都變得更好。 你會有更多的控制權、會更了解自己。 我的目標是70歲時成為一個漂亮的女人!
