Episode Nine: Afraid To Age
When did your face become homework?
In this episode of Lies We Bought, I trace how aging became a “problem” you’re expected to manage. From early beauty empires and skin “diagnosis,” to Botox-as-maintenance, to apps that score your face.
We talk marketing, money, and the psychology of self-surveillance, plus why “prevention” is the most profitable word in modern beauty.
If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and felt like you’re behind, this one’s for you.
