One of the nice things about being mature is that one has generally learned to be less superficial. We don't stop caring about how we look but we accept that a lot of how we look is beyond our control and stop obsessing about it. We don't expect people to feel sorry for us because we no longer have a full head of hair. We .... Just .... Deal With It and get on with enjoying life. 
Well said RazorX. And to add to that. As I get older I realize just how finite life can be. I am no longer willing to waste one single moment on worrying about the trivial. I cannot understand how some people, many of them younger, can WASTE time obsessing about silly stuff! I make a conscious effort to learn something new each day and to pack in as much activity as possible each and every day. I NEVER just sit at home doing "nothing". And if there is something I know nothing about - I make a conscious effort to learn about it. I know this, when my "time" comes I won't take solace in the fact that I wasted hours and hours of time worrying about my "looks". I will only regret the opportunities to "do" and to "learn" that I passed by!
