Wrinkles Don’t Stand in the Way of Youth

Linda Rodin — a timeless beauty

In the photo: Linda Rodin. She has the experience of being a fashion editor at Harper’s Bazaar and a stylist for celebrities like Madonna, Laetitia Casta, and Halle Berry. And she is a striking example of how one can remain gorgeous regardless of age and wrinkles.

In March 2025, Linda celebrated her 77th birthday. No, she doesn’t look twenty years younger, and she can’t boast perfectly smooth skin. But that’s not the point — it’s her style, her smile, her energy, her posture, her long neck that isn’t hunched into her shoulders like so many of her peers. That’s what creates her aura of youth, keeps her stunning, and makes her an inspiration to people decades younger than she is.

Take a look at her Instagram and see for yourself. And then ask: this woman in her seventies is a recognized style icon, while I in my fifties — or you, in your own age bracket — already think of ourselves as old? Absurd.

Linda chose the path of accepting herself and her age-related changes — and it’s hard to say she lost.

But everyone chooses their own path. Personally, I prefer to fight for my appearance. At this point, I have no doubt that time can be made to work for you, instead of sadly watching it work against you.

And you? Are you ready to love yourself and help your face and body reclaim youth without resorting to radical measures?

Remember: as long as we live and breathe, everything can be improved. The human body is a powerful self-restoring system. It’s never too late to start.
