Anti-ageing

Anti-ageing

Ageing is an inevitable process that begins from the moment we are born. However, due to behavioural, cultural, ethnic, environmental, nutritional and genetic differences, the rate and the severity of age-associated cutaneous changes might manifest differently in different people.

Anti-ageing has been a key focus point in the beauty industry for years. By 2030, it is estimated that one in six people globally will be aged over 60, meaning we can therefore expect further strong market growth. However, the visible signs of ageing and the products used to counteract them are approached differently in different parts of the world.
