When you look around you a little more carefully, you will see that everywhere is full of anti-aging creams, botox, hair dyes and anti-wrinkle exercises. I first noticed this when my mother said she didn’t want to grow old. My cousin, who is my age, said the same thing.
First of all, why are we afraid of aging? Or rather, why are women afraid of aging? Because I haven’t seen men around me who are afraid of aging, and yes, it has nothing to do with men’s “I don’t care” nature. In fact, I believe we’re the ones creating this “I don’t care” nature. Just like we make aging a problem.
Companies and advertising agencies have always targeted women’s beauty. With the advent of social media, things have become even more complicated. Now, new insecurities born every single day. Strawberry skin, hip dips, not being skinny enough, acne, and aging… If you’ve noticed, these are all natural things, but they’re trying to sell solutions. Botox, skincare creams, detox drinks…
So was aging really a problem? Or did we just make that up?
Because when I look at my grandmother, all I see is pure beauty. There are signs of life on her face, and that’s beautiful. There are signs of laughter, anger, and tears. There are signs of her being human. No, your value doesn’t diminish with age, ladies. They’ve just told you this, and there’s no end to it. So, I want you to think twice before you set foot in that beauty center…
