It’s no mystery why so many companies sell “anti-aging” beauty products.
Around the world, countless advertisers, websites and beauty companies are responding to all the negative ideas about aging that exist in our society.
Almost from birth, we are inundated with messages that say, “youth is the only form of beauty.” That’s especially the case for women. We are subtly and pervasively educated to avoid, hide, hold back or even fear passing what they call “a certain age.”
It’s a little absurd when you think about it.
We all want long, passionate, interesting lives… but we’re taught to hide (or even fear) our age, while we’re actually living out those long lives? It’s ridiculous.
Our Boom founder, Cindy Joseph, recognized this hypocrisy.
Cindy was always quick to point out another truth… that all those societal ideas about aging are actually made-up. They’re man-made myths that we created in our society.
If we invented all these negative ideas, then we can challenge them. We can replace all those myths with something else… something more positive that celebrates who we are… something that recognizes that every age welcomes a new form of beauty.
That’s the idea of being pro-age. Let’s take a closer look at what this means…
You become “more” as you age, always.
When you adopt a pro-age point of view, you free yourself from the myth that aging somehow makes you less.
At BOOM!, we think aging makes you more.

“My mother always taught us that if people don’t agree with you, the important thing is to listen to them. But if you’ve listened to them carefully and you still think that you’re right, then you must have the courage of your convictions.”
