Face Products On TV Ads

[toffee]

So we all watch these adverts that must be on every day --but have you notice that all the girls are not even in there 30s except for helen mirren
so about 80% are very young not a wrinkle to be found -so why use them ' is it the glamour thats more important in the add than the product ?
or do they think --you can look like this !! seems to me using a woman in mid 40s or mid 50s is a issue with face creams/
whats your view on it .

It's big business.

Any "cream" might give an appearance of softness for about 5 minutes, whether we paid $600. an ounce or $6.00.

Most people do look better with some makeup on; age appropriate, imo.

Well, RadishRose, you forgot about "Tx-115 Omega Five". Every cream has to have a secret ingredient developed by some beauty expert, after 30 years of attempts. I'm not sure it's men, who crave 20 year olds, or it's women, who wish they still were 20, but the idea that woman naturally age is taboo. To be honest, women in their 40s & 50s, who wear all those creams, look like women in their 40s & 50s trying to look like they are 20. I think it is ironic that women way out live men, and thus, they are spend more of their lives being "elderly" than men, but are consumed about being seen as "young".

Commercials are finally using some older models now to sell anti aging cosmetics and the idea that woman desperately try to hang onto their youthful looks has a lot to do with being conditioned our entire lives by a society that expects us to look, be & act perfectly beautiful in all stages of life. A society where older men are considered distinguished while older women are considered ‘over the hill.’

I saw a news report once where the reporter visited a shampoo factory, and was shown what goes into the product. The guy she interviewed took an empty bottle, filled it about 2/3 full of water, added the detergents and other necessary ingredients, and added more water to fill the bottle. Then he let her smell it. "Smells like shampoo" she said. "It is shampoo," he replied, "but now we add something else." And with a eye dropped he added one single drop of liquid to that bottle of shampoo he had just made. "There's about 20 different chemicals in that little drop I just added. We can list them all as ingredients, and advertise all the benefits they can provide to your hair."

Yes, that’s your typical conventional shampoo. Natural holistic shampoos and other products are FAR from made this way. That’s why knowing what’s in your product is so important. Many ingredients are carcinogenic in nature.
