Because You're Worth It?
A well known cosmetics company's tag line for their adverts is "because you're worth it". Of course, what they mean is "because you feel inadequate without it", which is quite the reverse. The whole point of cosmetics, and in particular those aimed specifically at hiding the outward evidence of the natural process of getting older, is hiding the self that one is embarrased to be (to some extent even from oneself).
Everyone has their flaws. Everyone gets older. Pretending otherwise (and it is only a pretence) is being dishonest both to oneself, and to everyone else. Surely, then, anyone who truly has a sense of self worth (and is thus "worth it") has too much good sense to be worried about grey hair, or the the wrinkles that naturally go with age.
