The journey that led me to founding Jeunelle Aging Well Skincare was a deeply personal one. As a woman in my 50s, I noticed that many skincare products on the market were labeled "anti-aging," suggesting that getting older is a negative thing and something we should resist. But let's face it, we can't really stop time or the changes that come with it. And honestly, why would we want to? Aging is a natural and enriching part of our life journey and a privilege denied by many; each stage has its own beauty. My mission with Jeunelle Aging Well Skincare is to redefine the beauty narrative, and change the way midlife women feel in their own skin. I want to inspire them to celebrate their unique beauty at every stage, both inside and out. Instead of chasing anti-aging solutions, I believe in embracing the concept of Aging Well as a lifestyle choice.
THE ANTI-AGING DILEMMA
I couldn't help but notice that there were many skincare brands on the market that labelled their products as "anti-aging." These products came with promises of erasing lines, banishing wrinkles, and defying the aging process altogether. While the intention behind these products is to help women look and feel their best, the terminology used suggested that “aging” was something negative, something to be dreaded. Have you ever noticed that the women in “anti-aging” ads usually feature a flawless 20-year-old with not a pore or wrinkle in sight? This is so unrealistic and suggests that appearing younger is preferable to aging, which doesn’t align with reality. It also promotes an unrealistic beauty standard and can have an impact on how women perceive themselves. At Jeunelle, we celebrate the beauty of a few lines and wrinkles in skin that's been well-lived - because that's where the genuine magic unfolds.
EMBRACING AGING WELL AS A LIFESTYLE CHOICE
I firmly believe that age is not something to resist or fight against. It is a natural progression of life, each year bringing a wealth of experiences, wisdom, and beauty. With this perspective in mind, I founded Jeunelle Aging Well Skincare to embrace a different ethos—a celebration of Aging Well as a lifestyle choice.
JEUNELLE: CELEBRATING UNIQUE BEAUTY
Jeunelle, which means "Young She" in French, represents the idea that youthfulness is not determined solely by appearance but is also an internal state of vitality and confidence. With Jeunelle, I want to empower women to celebrate their unique beauty at every stage of life. It's about recognizing that every age has its charm, and beauty transcends the physical.
