The other day I had my regular appointment with a beauty therapist I have seen for 17 years. “Your face looks better than when I first met you,” she said. I am 51. That was not something I had expected to hear, needless to say. Can I really look better now than I did at 34? I haven’t frozen anything. I haven’t filled anything. I certainly have more lines than I did back then, more age spots, more—I don’t even like typing the word!—droop.
I can date the first time I met Beata Aleksandrowicz so precisely because I had recently split from the man I had grown up alongside. My face, I remember her saying to me as if it were yesterday, was telling her how unhappy I was, how lost. It was a kind of mask, a shield. That’s what faces do. They tell our story. We know that at some level. We know what tired looks like or sick or lovestruck. Or indeed, in my case back then, heartbroken.
Aleksandrowicz’s intensive face massage, so much more than a mere facial, was part of what helped me get my face back. If you get blood to your skin, you deliver oxygen and remove toxins. If you stimulate your lymphatic drainage, you get lift, lift,. I am lucky enough to be able to visit her in London, but she offers brilliant online DIY massage classes to women all over the world. .However, what really gave me my face back was what I did on the inside.
, focuses on manifesting that best life. Don’t worry, though: I have got plenty of less existential beauty tips up my sleeve too! The kind of thing that takes a few minutes rather than 17 years!
