Product Description

Anti-aging, how to look younger, must be beautiful, you are not old. These are images that a woman sees on a daily basis. The magazines, Television commercials and even family will tell you that you have grey streaks or wrinkles. When did these things become bad? In an article of Psychology Today (Scarf Merrell, 1996);

“Baby boomers have both masterminded--and fallen victim to--an anti-aging epidemic far more virulent than the average case of mass hysteria. It isn't simply that we're trying to exercise and eat our way to longer, healthier lives. Sales are up dramatically across the gamut of age-fighting weaponry, from wrinkle creams to collagen injections to cosmetic surgery”

Anti-aging products are on the rise, people want to look younger and defy aging. This trend according to Cosmetic Design.com (2007)

“Skincare products including anti-ageing, acne and sun care products will continue to dominate cosmeceutical product demand, accounting for nearly 60% of the total in 2007. Annual growth of 7.8 percent is projected.”

Based on these date the product of choice is Total Effects Anti-Aging Anti-Blemish Daily Cleanser. This product is a daily cleanser for women from the Oil of Olay product line. From the actually Oil of Olay website this product is suppose to reserve the signs of aging. This product claims that there are seven signs of aging and what are they? The website regarding Feminist called the F Word states (Redfern, 2001)

“According to the cosmetic company Olay, it’s

    As humans, we are constantly trying to deny the fact that we are aging. As young adults, we see that the aging process is so far away in the distance, and never really are prepared for it when it creeps up and starts to hit us. Then, middle age approaches and we are clearly faced with the reality of our changing body. It may begin with subtle changes, but because of societies social pressure we try everything we can to look young again. I do not believe that there will come a time when society will stop trying to deny the aging process. The reality is that everyone will age, and as long as the society we live in focuses on exterior beauty, people will go to extreme lengths to make their outer bodies look younger. The younger generations see the aging process as a negative and societal pressure have made it such that the aging population start having plastic surgeries, extreme diets and spend millions of dollars to try to look and keep young. This leads to the topic of cosmetics and appearance.…

    Some people from this specific generation say that the worst thing about being a baby boomer is their age. They are starting to age more and more each day and experience things that they have never dealt with before like arthritis, aches and pains, wrinkles, and more health issues. Because of this, many people born during the baby boom exercise and eat healthy to stay young looking and competitive in the work force. Also, most anti-aging beauty products and gym memberships are sold to more elderly people because of this reason. But that is not enough for some, some people even go to the extreme and get surgery done to keep their faces looking young and healthy. Dr Roy David states “Facelift and eyelid surgery remain some of the most commonly performed cosmetic surgery procedures in the United States” (Marketwired “Baby”). In 2014, over 500,000 facial surgeries were performed. Many procedures that were done, were performed on men surprisingly. In fact, 20 percent of surgeries done are on men compared to only 10 percent about a decade ago (Marketwired “Baby”). Older men often get hair transplants done because they are insecure about their balding but women also get hairline transplants too due to the thinning of hair in the front. It is known that after healing, people would never know that someone got work done and they would be ready to return to the work force looking young as…

    While reading this article, I learned so many new things about anti-aging creams and make-up. The bonus is the fact that Olay doesn’t test their products on animals, they do it on human skin from biopsies. The equipment to do all the tests and make the creams is very expensive. One machine costs $350,000.000. They use around 94 ‘gene chips’ with samples of skin to do many different series of tests. In the article they used a lot of fancy words that I don’t quite understand, but I’m sure I can assume what they mean. It’s crazy how much science goes into anti-aging formulas. It’s all about the sun damage and the metabolic stuff.…

    Jessica Sturla 11/10/2014 The Wonder Hormone San-Medica International is successful in creating an advertisement that grabs the reader’s attention and markets their “infamous” SeraVital, unfortunately for the consumer, the advertisement is full of nothing but fabrication, gimmicks, and lies. The intended consumer appears to be women (25 years or older) who are worried about aging, gaining weight, lacking energy, and simply not being “sexy enough”. For example, the advertisement immediately grabs the attention of women with the title, “Anti-aging update: The Wonder Hormone”. The advertisement then continues to use words such as, “ultra-hot, anti-aging breakthrough” to describe the product (SeraVital, 2014).…

    Two things are for certain: death and taxes. Yet, unlike taxes mortality cannot be paid off. Presently, contemporary culture has begun to shun aging and death altogether. Currently, youthfulness glitters and tastes sweet. Successful working models begin to lose campaign and gigs after reaching the age of twenty-five to younger individuals. Because youth is so easily replaceable, it creates panic the second wrinkles starts to take form. So much so that individuals are beginning to inject Botox before reaching their thirties. This obsession with firm, plump skin is relatively new. Before Hollywood became the host of popular culture, wigs were often powdered white so one could appear older and wiser. However, nowadays wisdom is perceived negatively with lingering connotations of feebleness and antiquation. As a result, the pressure to remain forever young has been combatted with forced ignorance towards the inevitable decay of youth.…

    According to Clake & Griffin, “The loss of a youth appearance is particularly damaging to women, who are socialized to be more more concerned with their appearances than their male counterparts.” Added to this, women are also more likely than men to be part of age discrimination in the workplace associated with their appearance. Employers tend to perceive women to be older than their same-age male colleagues. Women’s careers and peak earnings occur at an earlier age than their male counterparts (Clarke & Griffin, 2008). Through these messages, we are constantly pressured to look young, be obsessed with anti-aging products, and be filled with panic due to our flaws not being fixed within a quick…

    Growing old is a guarantee, so how one ages is dependant on genes, lifestyle, and ones environment. No one person can stop the aging process, but nowadays one can slow it down. There is a wide array of products sold over the counter, on the television, and even on the internet, yet which one does a person choose? Does one buy it, and does it really work? Aging occurs in almost every aspect of one’s life, and to some skin aging is most important. The impact of print ads, individual responsibility and accountability, and the ethical approach were all researched over a period of five weeks. The findings foolish as it may seem are that millions of people buy anti-aging products everyday in the belief it will one help look young.…
