Conventional wisdom dictates that as we grow older we get more comfortable in our own skin, but a recent study suggests otherwise. The British government surveyed more than 3,000 women of all ages, and found that those between 35 and 49 worry the most about their bodies, with almost half unhappy with their appearance. Here are the percentages of age groups dissatisfied with their looks:

• 18 to 34 years old: 37 percent 
• 35 to 49 years old: 43 percent
• 50 to 64 years old: 29 percent
• 65 years old and older: 36 percent

Women and Equalities Minister Jo Swinson tells British newspaper, The Sunday Times, that the growing number of famous actresses and singers having plastic surgery as they get older has established an ideal that is hard to compete with when aging naturally. While Swinson is critical of efforts to combat signs of the passage of time, we believe that life is simply too short to feel bad about yourself!
