t is a universal truth worth reiterating that youth, like a fresh  ower, is

ephemeral. It’s planted, nurtured, and before you know it, has bloomed

and withered away. Today’s youth-obsessed culture teaches girls that

time zaps their worth, and as much as we try to deny it, age has never

been just a number. A quick scroll through your social feed, and you’re

inundated with a perpetual and unending source of young beautiful

women with  awless skin, living their best lives. Multiply that by th

amount of times we  re up our social media apps in a day, and it

constant reinforcement of unattainable beauty to the nth degree. Ye

beyond all of that external youth perfected, there’s something that yo

cannot outshine—electrifying beauty that comes from experience and wisdom of tim

the years—actresses Kate Winslet, Lupita Nyong’o, Penélope Cruz, Julia Roberts, Lily

Collins, and Isabella Rossellini (her triumphant return as the face of Lancôme, 35

years later)—have all inspired women at their most touching, most singular, and

women to have with their age—elegant, bold, sensual, beautiful, and well-lived; a

powerhouse of memories, experiences, and emotions.

from having lived without hindrance, no matter the age.

FINDING THE LIGHT

As age becomes central to our identity, it’s easy to lose sight of all the other great things we’ve achieved

along the way. But as we continue to mark our lives using age as milestones—16, 30, 45, and so on, women

are beginning to create their own de nition of what true youth is by taking their relationship with age

one step further.

Here’s where the most powerful iconic duo, Advanced Géni que for day and Géni que Sensitive for night,

comes into play. To keep you feeling at your best always so you are ready to take on the world, whether

it’s battling hot and humid city days or cold winters during the holidays, the sophisticated combination of
