Skin Ageing & Challenges 2026:
Rethinking Skin Longevity
We are pleased to welcome you to Skin Ageing & Challenges 2026, taking place on October 28–29 in Málaga, under this year’s theme: Skin Longevity. Skin ageing research is entering a new phase. The field is moving beyond the description of visible ageing toward a deeper understanding of the biological mechanisms that determine skin resilience, decline and regenerative capacity. Read More
Skin Ageing & Challenges 2026 Agenda
Skin Longevity 2026 will explore skin ageing as a dynamic loss of biological dialogue and ask how science can restore communication, resilience, and function across the skin ecosystem.
