Appearance concerns in later life: Do they really exist?

Hamlet, Claire

Abstract

In Western society, where youth and beauty are given high status, older people can often feel pressured to adopt appearance-enhancing strategies, such as using anti-ageing products. Those who invest time and money into their image often do so to show they are coping well with later life and gain respect from others. Claire Hamlet examines the concept of successful ageing in relation to appearance
