Warming up
Youth is not a time of life;
it is a state of mind;
it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees;
it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions;
it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.

Oil of Olay
Oil of Olay, a global business now, began in the home laboratory of chemist Graham Wulff in the early 1950s. Using his wife Dinah as his muse and research respondent, he began to truly understand what women really wanted: younger-looking and beautiful skin. It was with this understanding that he was able to perfect his formula. Finally Oil of Olay came out.
Background information
The Virtues of Growing Older
Grecian Formula
Grecian Formula, first introduced in 1961, is a popular men’s hair coloring product in the United States. It is available as a clear liquid, cream and foam. One of the product’s main features is that it works gradually, so the color change is not as noticeable as with dye products. Some of the drawbacks are that it doesn’t work well with facial hair, and it must be used daily for the first week or two, which some people find inconvenient.
