You know how good it makes you feel when someone compliments your appearance. But what you may not know is that other people see you as significantly more attractive than you see yourself. Why? Because when you look in the mirror, all you see is your physical reflection. Others see your personality and inner radiance as well – and that’s why they’re complimenting you.
Although it’s often a difficult concept to buy into, your physical attributes are only part of what makes you beautiful. Yes, a good body and flawless skin may draw people to you, but true beauty will keep them there.
The way you move, how you speak, the spontaneity of your smile and laughter. Being in good health, and having warmth and charisma. All these combine with your outward appearance to make your true beauty shine.
Inner beauty comes from self-esteem, emotional and mental well-being, self-awareness and self-confidence.
This is where women in their 40s definitely have the edge over their younger counterparts. It’s true that many 40-somethings don’t have the figures or faces of women half their age, but that doesn’t make them any less attractive.
Because what they do have is confidence. And confidence is beautiful.

For so many women, their 40s is the decade when they really come into their own. They have the self-confidence and peace of mind that only come with age and experience.
And they know the secret to true beauty – spend less time on your appearance and more time on yourself.
