Avon Power In Ageing report finds women want to look healthy not young

Last year, Avon’s director of global skin care and trend innovation told CosmeticsDesign-Europe the term ‘anti-ageing’ would disappear from beauty in 2-3 years​ as specific skin care needs took priority. Anthony Gonzalez said conversation was shifting away from anti-ageing or pro-ageing to a focus on “authentic ageing”​ instead.

And Avon’s latest report The Power In Ageing​ certainly indicated change was underway amongst consumers.

The pandemic beauty reset? ‘Reclaiming our power’

The Avon-commissioned Censuswide survey of 7,000 women across seven countries and three continents – the UK, Italy, Turkey, Romania, Poland, South Africa and the Philippines – found that 72% of women were now focused on looking healthy rather than young after the pandemic; even stronger in South Africa (81%) and the Philippines (89%).

And globally, 67% of women said their confidence was improving with age, 64% said self-esteem was improving and 63% now agreed ageing was not something to fear.

For women in their forties, these findings were even more pronounced, with 66% in this age bracket stating they felt more in control of their lives and 55% feeling more comfortable in their own skin versus when they were younger.

Angela Cretu, CEO of Avon, said the last two years of the COVID-19 pandemic had certainly fuelled these shifts, with 74% of women stating the pandemic had made them realise how fragile life was and that getting older was something to appreciate.

Almost two-thirds of women aged 40+ also said the pandemic had made them feel more confident overall as they embraced wrinkles (49%) and grey hair (46%).
