The Science of Skin: How to Restore Confidence, Inside and Out
Most of us are seeking good skin – but delve beneath the surface, and what does that truly mean? For some, it’s about restoring the face that we remember from our youth; for others, it’s about supercharging radiance, reducing pigmentation or banishing breakouts. Some of us simply don’t want to feel invisible anymore.
This soul-searching discussion brought together a panel of skin-focused experts – including former surgeon and global thought leader, Miss Jonquille Chantrey; aesthetic doctor and regenerative specialist at The Lanesborough, Dr Kaywaan Khan; and psychologist and Ouronyx co-founder, Ida Banek – to explore how to regain confidence in our complexions once more.
From ground-breaking developments in regenerative aesthetics, to the role of skincare and the power of the mind, we discovered bespoke solutions to restoring a healthy skin – but also that all-important sense of self. The aim? To empower ourselves through knowledge – and ultimately face the future with confidence.
