One of the most significant campaigns in our culture is the idea that aging is a bad thing, something that should be fought as long as humanly possible. According to Euromonitor International, a leading provider of market analysis, the North American anti-aging skin care landscape involves a $400 billion industry, with skin care alone making up 28% of the beauty and personal care market. These statistics are startling and reveal the aggressive nature of our culture and market against aging. Women in particular face the pressure to alter or fix their bodies, particularly as they age and after experiencing the changing effects of motherhood. Many women too often hear the message that aging is something that should be fixed or challenged, not embraced, and there is seemingly some form of surgery or product for every sign of aging, including wrinkles, changing skin, and body alterations.
