The number one question sent to me from beauty snobs of all ages is-- "How do I age gracefully"? Take a stroll through Neiman Marcus in Beverly Hills or Bergdorf Goodman in NYC and you will see how NOT to do so from women who flaunt their latest scars from face lifts, brow lifts, etc. It appears having plastic surgery that looks obvious is the new status symbol, bizarre right? Puzzling as it may be, it's the "designer" plastic surgery syndrome-- women who want you to know they spent a lot of dough on their faces. Kind of like carrying an expensive bag, except it's your face. I am not judging those who do it, I mean lord knows what I'll be doing when I turn 50 but I am just saying, why not make some simple changes now to prevent drastic measures later!?!?

With that in mind, we are starting our new weekly column. The Art of Aging Gracefully. We will address issues for women in their 20's, 30's, 40's and beyond. We'd also love for you to participate by giving us your anti-aging tips in comments!

Remember, you don't want to look like this, EVER. Instead, you should strive to look like this in your 70's. But until then, you can follow our Aging Gracefully tips and learn to make the most of the changes to your face and body that will inevitably occur! Jump to see our tips of the week!

I'm curious, what are your thoughts on plastic surgery?
