How do you feel most beautiful? As naturally as possible, accepting the passing years. As I said, I take care of my facial skin, I use little makeup (mascara and eyeliner), I don't dye my hair (I've embraced my gray hairs since I was 35), and I take care of my body and mind by being active. I have my days, but most of the time I leave the house feeling good 😊
