Looking good is not only what you wear, your confidence or even your smile, it’s a combination of various factors, one of the most important being your skin.

To help locals better understand their skin so that they can make informed choices about the products they use, staff from the Aesthetic Clinic and Medi Spa invited residents to a discussion by Marieta Meyer from Danne Montague-King on Wednesday evening.

Marieta debunked myths and provided essential information about the physiology of the skin, advice about a healthy lifestyle and introduced the products from the range to the audience.

Assisted by Dr Lalitha Badul, she explained how sun exposure, lack of exercise and an unbalanced lifestyle contribute to ageing, pigmentation and other common skin problems.

Thereafter a question and answer segment followed where the audience queried about the treatments offered.
