Visible signs of ageing are apparent to all of us, not only health professionals. In this afternoon symposium, we will examine the role of psychology in skin ageing research, begin to look at the physiological changes which occur to skin as we get older and assess whether there is a connection between what we perceive and the functioning of the brain.
