Not Super Thrilled about Looking Older

New Yorkers know how to avoid the whole looking older thing. They grab the #7 spot for states that are most hesitant to embrace the idea of aging. Society is about staying young as long as we can but why not embrace it and show off our silver fox or stunning salt-and-pepper look?

Mixed Feelings About Aging Hair and Skin

When it comes to the hair department, 39% of New Yorkers are for embracing their aging locks. When it comes to the skin, 50% are for the whole idea, so half of New Yorkers aren't happy with change when it comes to aging. Instead of disgrace, lets embrace the change and appreciate the experiences and memories that it's brought us.

Beauty Comes in All Ages

73% of Americans agree that older folks are just as beautiful as their younger counterparts. It's about time we relax and realize that there is something beautiful about a life well lived.
