According to dermatologist Dr Kong Yan Ling, longevity skincare is less a revolution than an evolution. While the fundamentals of healthy skin haven’t changed, she says doctors now have a far more sophisticated understanding of why skin ages.
“It’s a combination of sun exposure, oxidative stress, chronic low-grade inflammation and collagen loss rather than a single cause,” she says. “These changes happen gradually over many years.” As such, she says the focus is increasingly shifting from correction to prevention.
“It’s similar to how we think about heart health,” she says. “We don’t wait until someone has a heart attack before talking about exercise or diet. We try to build healthy habits early, and the same principle applies to our skin.”
