Since a youthful appearance is valued in our culture, many individuals whose hair is grating, whose skin is wrinkling , whose bodies are sagging , and whose teeth are yellowing strive to make themselves look younger . Undergoing cosmetic surgery,dyeing hair , wearing wigs, enrolling in weight-reducing programs, participating in exercise regimens , and taking heavy doses of vitamins are common in middle age. Many baby boomers have shown a strong interest in plastic surgery and Botox , which may reflect their desire to take control of the aging process (brun &brock-tune,2012).
