Allure’s decision to cut the term “anti-aging” from their magazine in 2017 marked a revolutionary movement in the beauty industry. Small yet bold, there’s an active effort to rewrite the narrative which has long put “aging” under a negative light.

Out of this movement has come a crew of beauty brands (old and new) determined to celebrate aging as a gift of new days, years, and experiences – check out our favorites below.

“Women are a powerful force that no longer want to be fed a storyline that tells them they need to cure their aging reality. Aurum Skincare was founded by two women who believe we no longer want or need to be sold products to hide, conceal, or cover up our age,” says Joanna Sherrard, co-founder of Aurum Skincare. The emerging line’s leader insists, “We want a beauty standard that puts focus on skin health and self-care instead of someone’s unfortunate perception of the flaws we must correct.” It’s authenticity and women supporting women at its finest.

Ayuna Less Is Beauty

Ayuna Less is Beauty is revamping the beauty industry’s messaging around aging and skin care and mindfully tearing down the stigma that you’re only beautiful when you’re young by coining the term “well-aging” as opposed to “anti-aging.” Rather than denouncing age, the brand advocates health and wholeness during the aging process.
