I don't know that it's a contradiction as much as it is a clever little campaign that tells women 'you're beautiful and you'd be more 'you' if you use this'.
I went into their forums and read a couple of threads about 'older women'; how beautiful they are just by being older, yada yada...and I responded saying that I felt much of the comments from the under-30's were condescending. Accept lines and imperfections just because I'm not 30?? I don't think so....I'm all for plastic surgery (within reason-not some LaToya Jackson re-do), all for fighting the ravages of time any way anyone sees fit.
There were posts about how women who once thought they were 'ugly and fat', now 'love themselves for who they are', to which I responded if you think you are ugly and fat, you still don't love yourself-do something about it instead of settling for it.
In short, much of it was a crock of shit....
