“It may sound like science fiction but it’s a fact: We’re going to die but we don’t need to age.”

That’s according to Jan Marini, a recognized leader and innovator in the field of Skin Care Research. She’s spent her career doing extensive product research and speaks with the world’s most renowned scientists in the field of anti-aging. And while the prevailing view of aging is that it’s the norm, she says “aging is an inflammatory disease, we’re kind of all rusting to death,” but that we don’t have to.

We talk to her about the science behind aging and new medications being tested that could possibly reverse aging altogether. She also shares her theory on why intermittent fasting is key to slowing the gaining process.

She also gives us a peek into her product closet (that rivals the famous one at Vogue), and why she thinks there is absolutely no replacement for retinol. We’ll also dig into her Skin Care Management Line which is the most-award winning in NewBeauty Magazine’s history and is used by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and Cher.
