One of the most well-known cosmetic companies in the world, Avon, has admitted in a global assessment that the epidemic had a significant impact on how women, especially Filipina women, perceive aging. Almost 90% of Filipinas choose cosmetics that promote healthy-looking advantages over those that merely make their skin look youthful, indicating that an incredible 76% of them now view ageing as a good experience and not something to be concerned about.

Being forty can feel a little different, even if each woman’s experience with aging may be different. Ayn Bernos, Inka Magnaye, and Agoo Bengzon, three lifestyle influencers, each offer their unique viewpoint on this significant achievement.

No Such Thing As Peaking Early

Being one of the fastest-rising TikTok stars of today, Ayn Bernos seems to make life more exciting and manageable through her content. Now almost in her thirties, she sees getting older as a privilege instead of a problem to deal with. “When I was younger, I used to worry about the goals that I had for myself—getting married or having kids at this age,” shares Ayn. “But sometimes, life has other plans for you and I realized that is okay. There’s no such as thing as peaking early! I realized some girls tend to worry about peaking at their age, but thing is, you can peak at any age!”

Ayn explains that being in her late 20s now makes her appreciate being older because it brings all the life lessons she wished were taught. “We were always told you had to look young to make yourself presentable. But now, what I try to achieve is just to look healthy and bring out that natural glow that I have, which I see in the women I really look up to—if they can age gracefully, so can I.”

The content creator admits that the pandemic has helped her see a different side to feeling confident about herself. “There’s definitely less pressure now, but it gave me time to really assess who I am as a person. I want to engage more people and talk about their struggles—find common ground and open the discussion on why certain topics are okay to talk about.”

New Chapter, Same Me

t is said that life begins at certain ages, but Inka Magnaye didn’t really put much thought into it when she was younger. Now that she is in her 30s, she makes sure she uses her voice to make a better impression on younger women in her audience. “I want to create content that makes women in my audience feel validated and seen, and that’s something that can help them feel more confident when you go and discuss topics like ageing. I want to engage with them with a mindset of pro-ageing, and usually, talking about the basics can go a long way,” explains the voice actor and top podcaster.

Inka emphasizes that goals can be targets, but they are not set in stone and that anyone can adjust, change, or simply let go of expectations. “I struggled to fit a mold, but I later realized that I can just be a version of myself that I actually like,” she recalls. “In your thirties, you have the means to be the woman you want to be, and it is liberating!”

Inka further explains that finding yourself even when you are older is a different journey but that shouldn’t scare anyone. “During the pandemic, I learned how to engage people in a more dynamic way and I saw that as an opportunity to expand the conversation about dynamic topics that women can relate to. It’s an exciting ongoing chapter, and it’s incredible how you can learn to turn negative thoughts about ageing and being a woman into something positive.”

Just a Number

For beauty enthusiast Agoo Bengzon, ageing gives her the opportunity to experience new things. “It’s a genuinely great feeling because you’re breaking the rules of what women ‘can’ and ‘cannot’ do at this stage,” she explains.

Social media has played a huge part in making sure she gets this message across. Having achieved so much already in her life—a growing family, a steady career, and an unwavering online presence—Agoo says she still wants to experience what else life has to offer, even she’s in her forties. “When the pandemic began, it changed my perspective on how fragile our lives can actually be. So I thought, why do I have to make a big deal out of looking younger when I can just look beautiful in my own terms and age?” she asks.

The beauty expert insists that women shouldn’t be afraid of ageing but rather embrace it. “It’s an inevitable passage of life, and with proper skin care you become one, not only with your looks, but also with your health. It’s definitely an investment and when you put in the work, you get the results. It shouldn’t be a chore, and if you do it right, you can heal from within.”

The Big Shift

Ayn, Inka, and Agoo, as different as they are, all agree that being the best version of yourself can be achieved at any age, even when you get older.

According to the global study by Avon, most women agree that being in their forties has changed what they strive for: from having it all to having enough.

Turns out, 76% of women in their forties do not prioritize being on top of the hierarchy anymore, but rather defining “success” as creating a balance between what they work with and how they want to live. More than half agree that feeling powerful doesn’t necessarily mean having enough money to spend, but having enough self-confidence to just be true to oneself.

With more women prioritizing having healthier-looking skin than looking young, Avon developed and launched the Anew Renewal Activating Serum, formulated with world-exclusive and ground-breaking ProtinolTM technology that offers seven skin benefits in just seven days, allowing women all over the world to embrace ageing and future-proof their skin.

The Anew Renewal Activating Serum can inspire women of all ages to be their most genuine selves, just as Ayn, Inka, and Agoo, thanks to a proprietary and professional composition that ensures faster results.

The common papaya has always held the key to softer, more radiant skin.

The fruit is not only tasty, but it is also a good source of fiber, vitamins C and A, and antioxidants that lower the risk of cancer, prevent cancer from developing, or even slow its spread. It is best recognized for maintaining the health of the skin, which includes preventing wrinkles and sagging while also encouraging skin that is smoother and brighter.

For decades, Papaya has been a beauty cult favorite and has become one of the most prominent natural ingredients in personal care products. That is all thanks to an enzyme called Papain, which can act as a strong skin exfoliator that removes dead skin cells, making the skin brighter and more supple.

Now, through the no. 1 Lotion brand in the Philippines, you can get naturally brighter and smoother skin in just 5 days with the new and improved Avon Naturals Papaya & Soy Collection—made from 100% Papaya fruit! “Avon Naturals has always been nature-inspired, and with Papaya, you can’t go wrong especially if you want smooth, glowing skin,” says Dione Cotoco, Head of Beauty, Avon Philippines.

The Avon Naturals Papaya & Soy Hand & Body Lotion provides 4x more Papaya extracts which when applied, can moisturize your skin for 30 hours leaving skin soft, smooth, and looking healthy. Dermatologically tested, each application is lightweight, non-greasy, non-sticky and quick absorbing! Nourish and brighten your skin now and avail in 200mL, 400mL, and 750mL variants.

The mild and cleansing Avon Naturals Papaya & Soy Shower Gel will leave your skin soft and smooth with each cleanse with 4x Papaya extract as the Hand and Body Lotion. Meanwhile, the Avon Naturals Papaya & Soy Bar Soap will make you fresh from head to toe with every wash with 2x Papaya extract.

The Avon Naturals Papaya & Soy Collection is free from Parabens, Triclosan, Lanolin, Phthalates, Benzophenone, Mineral Oil and Silicon – all of which are proven to be harmful to the body over time. Cotoco continues, “Everything in this collection is expertly formulated without these harmful chemicals and ingredients. Every time you wash, lather, moisturize, you will get a burst of joy, feel you will get closer to nature, and ultimately achieve brighter and smoother skin.”

Avon has been promoting doing beauty differently for 135 years. During this year’s Pride Month, which yearly honors the LGBTQIA+ community along with their tales and experiences, the top direct-selling beauty company enhances this cause.

Avon Philippines created a three-part comic book series in collaboration with the cartoonist Hulyen (@hulyen) to promote its Beauty for All campaign, which highlights democratic beauty for all people, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression.

“I think everyone deserves to celebrate their own version of beauty especially if it makes them feel good about themselves,” shares Hulyen. “It’s really great that a major beauty brand like Avon is rallying behind this advocacy because it encourages you to be yourself and celebrate what makes you you.”

Each strip depicts issues faced by the LGBTQIA+ community. The comics were distributed to hundreds of thousands of Avon representatives in more than 190 branches across the Philippines, encouraging them to learn more and understand better the LGBTQIA+ community.

In this scene, an individual struggles to remember the various labels in the queer spectrum. A friend reassures her that it’s important to be open about learning new things.

It also provides context that Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Expression (or SOGIE, for short) goes beyond just the girl, boy, bakla, and tomboy that most Filipinos are more familiar with.

Another comic depicts a queer person who “magically” transforms into her true self when she’s with her friends. This has become a common experience with LGBTQIA+ individuals all over the world. According to Stonewall, only 46 to 47% of queer-identifying individuals feel open and confident to share their sexual orientation or gender identity with their families. Likewise, allies of the community should help create safe spaces where queer individuals can open up and express their true selves.

The last comic visualizes Avon’s commitment when it comes to promoting Beauty for All. It depicts an Avon representative who managed to provide quality beauty and self-care products for her customers, allowing them to truly enjoy their version of beauty no matter what their SOGIE.

“I have learned so much about Pride and how times are changing. It’s something new to me, but we have family and friends who are LGBTQIA+. Understanding them is a great way to show how much we respect them, and through these, I understand them even more,” Avon Representative Jennifer Limyu shares after reading the comics about the LGBTQIA+ community.

Max Closa, Avon Philippines’ Business Development Manager, welcomes Avon’s efforts to rally behind its employees in causes that involve them. “I’m so proud and thankful to be a part of a company who supports the LGBTQIA+ community. The changes might be gradual but it’s already a huge step for us,” Closa shares.

In line with the advocacy, Avon Philippines also recently held a SOGIE Sensitivity Seminar for Associates at their main office. Miss Trans World 2020 Mela Habijan spoke at the event where she discussed SOGIE, the different issues the community is facing, and how one can be a better ally. The trans beauty queen, host, and actress also made a SOGIE explainer video.

Avon Philippines supports members of the Manila drag culture with a variety of goods, like as the Limitless line, to promote their efforts in inclusivity (the first gender-free intimate apparel in the country). The business also made contact with the Home for the Golden Gays, which offers facilities for support and care for elderly LGBTQIA+ individuals.

“Avon continues with its commitment to create a better world for everyone. With Avon, everyone can be brave, brazen, and beautiful all at the same time because Beauty is for All—and that is how it should be in the years to come,” Avon PR and Communications Lead Marion Limlengco says.
