Your guide to healthy skin across every stage of life, from world-class experts in skin science.
Caring for your skin isn't merely about "anti-aging." It's about building resilience for a lifetime. Your skin is your body's largest organ. It protects you, heals you, regulates your body, reflects your health and tells your story. Yet most skincare advice focuses on quick fixes, beauty trends or products that promise far more than they deliver.
In Mayo Clinic Guide to Skin Longevity, leading Mayo Clinic experts bring together the latest research on skin health, healthy aging, nutrition, hormones, lifestyle medicine, and regenerative therapies to create the definitive guide to caring for your skin at every age.
Inside, you'll learn how your skin changes over time, what accelerates the signs of aging, what supports healthy function, and how your daily habits-including food, sleep, exercise and stress management-can influence not only your appearance but your overall well-being.
