Earlier this year I attended a sun care launch with lots of my beauty editor colleagues. As part of that event, we were offered skin scans that would reveal what our skin looked like beneath the surface - the opportunity to look at how well we were protecting and caring for our skin. The other thing it can do is calculate a skin age based on your results, which it determines by comparing your numbers to those in its large database.
My peers and I lined up, and one by one my friends all received very similar readings - a skin age younger than their actual years. Some were even 7/8 years younger. Everyone left extremely pleased with themselves. And then my time came - I sat on the stool, leant forward for the photographs and waited until the computer revealed my number...39. I am 36.
