In fact, it does not seem fair how time speeds up when you want it to slow down and slows down when you wish for it to speed up. A prime example can be made of birthdays. For a child, one's birthday is a joyous event. From counting down the days to the party, the favors, the cake and the presents they can barely contain their enthusiasm.
Unfortunately, the love of birthdays begins to diminish over time and whether it is in your 30s, 40s, 50s or 60s the thrill of counting down the days no longer exists. Instead the focus is on not looking your age, unlike when as a child you could not wait to proclaim your age as thirteen instead of twelve.
However, now the focus of an adult is on how to age gracefully, and as Eric Hoffer said, "The best part of the art of living is to know how to grow old gracefully." Daily, weekly, or even monthly, clients visit spas and salons to slow down the hands of time. They want the best treatments and fastest products to tackle those pesky wrinkles and sagging skin. DERMASCOPE's goal is to provide the most advanced and relevant information available in the industry. Within this month's issue, we have provided you with articles authored by experts in the aesthetic industry. From Melanie Sach's article on Self-Abhyanga to Thomas Boersma's article on attracting clients from the older generations, each article gives an in-depth view of the author's knowledge on age management and how, as aesthetic professionals, you can assist them with growing old gracefully.

"Nothing is inherently and invincibly young except spirit. And spirit can enter a human being perhaps better in the quiet of old age and dwell there more undisturbed than in the turmoil of adventure."
~ George Santayana
