Anti Aging Cream Promotes A
More Youthful Appearance
I have
been interested in cosmetics for a long time. Not only am I an avid user
of various skincare products, but I'm also interested in their roles in
society. I have studied anthropology, looking at the uses of cosmetics
makeup in many different cultures, and I have come to some conclusions.
Most people think that buying products for skin care is a matter of
vanity, but I think that it is much more. By making one feel younger and
more attractive, cosmetics and make up actually affect the health and
social behavior of the wearer, thus becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Take anti aging face cream as an example. A good friend of mine recently
bought anti aging cream. Her anti wrinkle cream was marketed as a
miracle products – most of them are. Supposedly, when you put anti aging
creams on your face, they will remove lines, wrinkles, and blemishes
within a few days. You will look anywhere from five to twenty years
younger if you are to believe the commercials. Of course, there is no
scientific basis for anti aging cream. At best, it can moisturize the
skin and provide some minor cover up as well. Anti aging creams,
however, cannot do the impossible. They cannot reverse aging.
Nonetheless, when my friends tried the anti aging cream, the results
were remarkable. From the second day, she started asking if she looked
younger. She was completely convinced that the cream anti aging was
already working, and I was definitely no one to tell her differently.
When I confirmed that yes, she did look younger, she was extremely
excited. The strange thing is that, although her outward appearance
didn't change physically, her attitude did. When she started using the
anti aging cream, she became more happy, more socially engaged, and more
productive. She was so convinced, in fact, that the anti aging cream was
reversing the aging process, that she began to look younger. Her face
still had wrinkles in it, but she was able to carry less tension and
keep a more youthful and relaxed appearance.
It might be tempting to dismiss this phenomenon as the placebo effect,
but it is not that simple. Even if it is a placebo effect, the result is
that an anti aging cream can actually tangibly reduce your age. If it
can make you convinced that you look younger, you will feel younger.
Once you feel younger, you will look younger.
