The 7th Anti-Ageing Skin Care Conference, organised by Summit Events, was to be held in London on 2-3 June 2020. In the context of the Covid-19 coronavirus crisis, it has been postponed to November 3, 4 and 5, 2020 and will be a virtual edition. With the theme of this 7th edition: Outside In and Inside Out- an Holistic Approach to Anti-Ageing, this event will attempt to draw on related areas of anti-ageing and apply these to skin care approaches and treatments.
Skin care regimes and topical treatments are the cornerstone of maintaining good skin condition and protection from the environment; however, we can take lessons from other aspects of skin ageing such as the importance of genetics and overall lifestyle.
The skin microbiome is currently a major area of controversy and development in this sector. The conference will explore the skin microbiome and skin health, and its possible impact on skin ageing. It will ask how much do we know about the skin microbiome and its importance in young and ageing skin. What claims can be made for enhancing or protecting the skin microbiome?
The conference will also discuss important skin care actives, new formulation and biometric technologies, and methodologies in anti-ageing skin care.
During the two-day conference we will hear from invited world-renowned experts on skin ageing and skin care. In addition to the 20 presentations there will be an expert open forum and opportunities for discussion throughout the event.
