Online Chat with Skin Expert Dr. Tom Mammone
and Jan Walsh on Tuesday 27th July


They say that age brings wisdom, and nobody's arguing with that. But when it comes to the less attractive signs of growing older, most of us would like the chance to stay forever young. Dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons are now closer than ever before to helping turn back the clock - at least when it comes to the body's largest and most complex organ, the skin.

Now, thanks to a better understanding of how the skin ages, making major improvements to the appearance of the skin no longer means getting a face-lift. Research conducted by Clinique has revealed that UV exposure, skin irritation and dehydration all cause weakening of the skin's natural repair mechanisms and aggravate the arrival of wrinkles. But all is not lost as now an assortment of age-assaulting ingredients are available, which can restore skin's youthful texture, reduce existing lines and even help prevent the onslaught of new ones. The idea is to start early with the preventative measures available.

Jan Walsh of the Consumer Analysis Group is currently undertaking research that will help explain what aggravates the signs of aging on our skin. The results of this research will be revealed on Tuesday 27 th July when Jan joins us between 1630 – 1730 for an online chat. She'll be accompanied by our Skin Expert, Dr Tom Mammone Ph.D. who'll be on hand to answer all your skin queries and offer tips on getting healthy, glowing, blemish free skin.

Dr Tom currently heads Clinique Skin Biology Lab, a research group that studies the aging process and biology of skin, whilst Jan is a well-known consumer expert on TV and radio, who has presented shows on both Channel 4 and ITV. Dr Tom will be able to offer his expert advice by answering all your questions about keeping your skin youthful and healthy while Jan will be on hand to discuss the revolutionary results of a new skin survey.
