We age not by years, but by stories.

- Maza Dohta

People who Wrinkle Well are an inspiration to all of us.

They come in all different types: those who perform amazing physical feats that challenge the idea of the aging body, those who attain incredible academic achievements and continue to challenge and fill their brains or those who learn new skills or start new hobbies later in life and find great enjoyment in them.

Here are some of their stories and advice to others who want to Wrinkle Well:
