How do you feel more beautiful? As natural as possible, accepting the years passing by. 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 had my gray hair since I was 35) and I take care of my body and mind by paddling. I have days, but most of the time I leave the house feeling good 😊
