 Ahead of the Game,  Are you worried about wrinkles and

      sagging skin? We caught up with the
 Behind Every Child  founder and medical director of Skin
      Renewal, Dr Maureen Allem, who
      shared some great insights on the
 NOW MORE THAN EVER  topic of anti-ageing.






              geing is inevitable. Think of it as living, the gift of life,
              and the experiences that come with it. A beautiful
              notion, but perhaps some issues have cropped up
      Aon your skin that concern you as a result of these
       experiences. Emotional wellness and how we look is unavoidably
       connected and inextricably linked.

       Q: What steps can be taken to slow down the ageing process?
       A: I approach skincare and wellness using four integral pillars, all of
       which need to be adopted for healthy ageing. Understanding these
       four pillars and how they work, not only for your skin but for your
       overall health, means a journey of prolonged wellness.

       The four to focus on are Skin Renewal’s innovative use of injectables;
       ongoing in-clinic treatments such as skin needling and laser; the
       use of proper medical grade cosmeceutical products at home; and

        nally, the fourth pillar is the adoption of a healthy lifestyle.
