Why We Want Skin To Be More, Not Less
Erase your wrinkles, shrink your pores, eliminate skin texture: chances are, you’re so used to seeing these messages that you don’t even pause when you read them. But take a second to look again at those verbs: erase, shrink, eliminate. Since its inception, the skin care industry has told us that we should want our skin to be less–less textured, less noticeable, less human. The ideal, they say, is glass skin or a porcelain complexion–something as lifeless as stone itself.
Most of us know the history of these impossible beauty standards and the difficult legacy of misogyny, racism, and agism that they represent. And yet, it's difficult to deny the hold these standards still have on our self-image. Despite many inspiring social movements–from skin neutrality to #melaninpoppin–the pressure remains firm. An estimated 11 million people have used Botox to date and the anti-aging market is worth $60 billion globally.1,2So how can we begin to think about our skin differently? How can we appreciate our skin for all that it does for us throughout our lives? As longevity researchers, we think the key to reframing our relationship with our skin starts with science. Join us as we explore a new paradigm where we stop asking our skin to be less and start allowing it to be more: stronger, healthier, and more resilient. Ready to take on the world with us through every stage of life.
Skin Beyond Aesthetics: The Scientist’s Perspective
Why Healthy Skin is More Not Less
Building a Healthier Relationship with Our Skin
Reinventing Skin Care for a New Era
This is the approach to skin health that powers OneSkin. Rather than overloading your skin with ten-step regimens or harsh active ingredients, we believe in the power of simple rituals backed by validated research. Our Topical Supplements, powered by the OS-01 peptide, help your skin be more – boosting epidermal thickness, supporting barrier function, and improving aging markers at the molecular level*. It’s a new approach to skin care where the products you use work to improve your skin health first–resulting in visible improvements that are more than surface-deep.
Reframing your relationship with your skin is no small task. But every time you remember to appreciate your skin as a vital part of your health, your experiences, and your story, you’re one step closer to dismantling damaging beauty standards. Join us in welcoming a new era where skin of all ages, tones, and appearances is seen as healthy, beautiful and appreciated.
