n our midlife, we’re more at ease in our own skin, and our life
experiences show on our faces. And we want our skincare to
support our skin, so that it feels as supple and resilient as it possibly
can. It’s been a challenging year, and stress has an impact on our
skin, causing it to become less responsive and more vulnerable
to aggressors. Stress can cause the skin to communicate less effectively
with the brain, and its sensory receptors to become reduced. Shiseido’s

counter these effects. Discover two fast-acting, cutting-edge solutions to
