Challenging Ageing Stereotypes & Ageism in Beauty
The beauty industry has long worshipped youth, framing wrinkles and grey hair as flaws to erase rather than milestones of a life well-lived. Research shows how advertising and product marketing have excluded older generations, reinforcing fear and stereotypes around ageing. Yet change is underway: brands like L’Oréal, The Body Shop, and Shiseido are shifting from “anti-ageing” to “pro-ageing,” while influencers like Lyn Slater (Accidental Icon) or the “Old Gays” are redefining ageing as a symbol of strength, authenticity, and freedom.By 2040, one in four people will be over 65, making age inclusivity not only a social responsibility but also a cultural and economic necessity for the beauty industry.
