Have you heard the saying "Men age like a fine wine but women age like a glass of milk?" Despite the fact that celebrities like Jane Fonda and Jamie Lee Curtis are redefining what it means to be a "silver fox," there is still a huge double standard when it comes to women and aging. Many women say when they hit a certain age, they feel invisible, washed up, and unwanted. In an open discussion, Dr. Phil finds out how women feel about the pressure of aging. Supermodel and writer Paulina Porizkova, 57, is famously candid on social media for shutting down those who think her face needs "fixing" or that she should not be posing in a bikini at her age. Porizkova tells Dr. Phil that women need to embrace their wrinkles and their age. Sixty-year-old Tami says she's so self-conscious about her age she sometimes won't leave the house. Thirty-three-year-old Fifi says she's consumed by her fear of aging. And, 54-year-old Terry says between her throat wattle, age spots, wrinkles, and bifocals, it's impossible to look in the mirror and feel good. Plus, meet mother/daughter duo Elisa and Lily who are the co-founders of Stylelikeu, a website focused on self-acceptance. They are also the brains behind the documentary series "What's Underneath Project," where people, like Porizkova, talk about their vulnerabilities while slowly stripping down to their underwear. |
