Skin as Data: What Your Face is Revealing About Burnout, Beauty Lies and Digital Damage
Your skin isn't lying- but everything you've been told about it is. Dermatologist Dr Emma Craythorne, award-winning beauty journalist Claire Coleman, influencer and entrepreneur Ashley Stobart and Chief Strategy Officer Cat Wiles, dismantle the beauty-industrial complex currently profiting from filter dysmorphia and diagnostic anxiety. This session reframes skin as biofeedback: a real-time map of stress, sleep, gut health, and what it means to be human in 2026. Not aspirational nonsense - evidence. Not "self-care" - self-knowledge. A cultural reckoning with an industry being forced to grow up, and a blueprint for building honest, science-literate skin culture in the age of AI-perfected faces.
