I was standing in a section of high-end skin care products in Ulta, holding a $247 facial serum that was supposed to "reverse the signs of aging" and "turn back the clock" on my skin. And suddenly, I had this thought…

In our youth-obsessed culture, aging is typically positioned as something to fear, fight, and hide. But what if we've been looking at it all wrong?

If you had told me ten year ago that I would be a face yoga instructor, I would probably have choked on my tea and said something like "Face what? Is this a joke?"

For decades, I bought into the beauty industry's biggest lie. It's the one that whispers (and sometimes shouts) that our worth is tied to looking younger. That aging is the enemy. That we should spend countless dollars and hours fighting against the natural flow of time.
