Dropping “Anti-Aging” From Vocabulary
I‘m sure all of us have seen ads about fighting aging, or a product that is promoted as “anti-aging.” I always am puzzled; it seems that we are in a battle against aging. So an article in Huffington Post caught my eye.

The magazine’s statement, “Allure Magazine Will No Longer Use the Term ‘Anti-Aging'” is available here.
