NEW NEEDLES, NO NEEDLES OR SOME NOT-SO-OLD-FASHIONED MASSAGE? FROM TWEAKMENTS AND MACHINES TO VERY GOOD FACIALS, HERE’S WHAT’S KEEPING SKIN LOOKING FRESH
-
The heat is on
Energy-based devices (or EBDs) use energy forms such as radiofrequency, ultrasound and plasma to trigger wound-healing responses that leave skin firmer and stronger than before.

New in needles
The best injectables stimulate collagen production, while toxins are used in less invasive ways and a classic French technique returns.

Good calmers
Less is more when skin has been heated, punctured or resurfaced, so choose aftercare that’s applied or removed with a light touch.

But through taste and travel, exploration and curiosity, we open up a new world to discover – one filled with szarlotka and sernik, babkas and bundts.’

SO, DO YOU HAVE TO CHANGE WHAT YOU EAT?
We’ve chosen these four experts because they specialise in midlife nutrition. They do have common ground – they all say it’s important to focus on eating whole, fresh foods and that reducing stress and keeping active are both key. Yet their advice can conflict, too. Hopefully this short taste of each approach will guide you to the one that’s right for you.
