Why The Beauty Industry Has It All Wrong If you think that a youthful looking face is maintained just at the skin level then you are mistaken. A lot of what our appearance says about our age starts not only within the skin of our face but, more importantly, in the shape of your face. Our facial shape is largely dependent on the foundation underneath the skin, which made up mainly of bone. Once bone is lost in the face, sagging and wrinkling of the skin begins to occur. So, what does this have to do with your dentist? Your dentist is extremely important in maintaining those very bones that make up the foundation and shape of your face as well as your teeth.

  Season 2 episode 3 of the Ageless Rage Show discusses 5 major reason why some celebrities look fake and how to avoid this look. The FIRST and Most common reason by far is that they had permanent changes made to the face such as plastic surgery. Whenever the face is cut and the tissues pulled there is a real risk of not only looking different immediately, but an even greater likelihood of making the face look less natural over time.
