I'm 65, so I'm not pretending I'm young, but I felt there were things about my face - the bags under my eyes, the skin under my chin, the wrinkles - that were making me look older than I actually felt. I'm very busy. I have a lot of energy. I work out, I'm into health, and I'm very active. What I was seeing in the mirror didn't match how I felt inside.

Consultant dermatologist Dr Aiza Jamil says facial puffiness is usually caused by fluid retention and common triggers include high salt and alcohol intake, allergies and lack of sleep.

It feels like an episode of The Jetsons come to life, but the truth is that the AI boom has officially entered the physical world. Most of us interact with artificial intelligence through screens- Gemini drafts our emails, ChatGPT summarizes our docs-but behind the scenes, engineers are racing to give AI hands and feet. Robots already pack boxes in warehouses and make guacamole in fast-food kitchens. Soon, they will be washing dishes, taking care of pets, and performing your manicure.

I am familiar with this feeling. Breadcrumb trails of heat lead to pain that's called minor, pressure that's called surprising. Rooms like this-the salon where my scalp scalds as my curls burn away or the aesthetician's office where I lie as vulnerable as I might in a hospital bed-are drenched in anxiety's musk, scented with antibacterial spray. The women who leave me their warmth are like older sisters, evidence files, guinea pigs, role models, comrades, and competition.

After watching approximately seventeen tutorials on contouring, I'd given up. That's when I stumbled upon something that changed my entire morning routine: strategic blush placement that actually lifts your cheekbones without all the complicated contouring steps.

Demand for beauty treatments is soaring. The global aesthetics market is projected to reach €22.9bn by 2028, according to analytics company Clarivate, driven by the development of more natural-looking results and the influence of social media. But how much are Irish women actually spending on such treatments? "It's very hard to find statistics, because they're all private enterprises, so they don't need to release them," says Liz Dwyer (@lizdwyerbeauty), co-founder of the Future Beauty and Health Show, which returns to the RDS on March 21-22 with a line-up of Irish and international experts in aesthetics and longevity.

There's a strange moment that happens the first time you watch botox kick in. One day you're squinting at your reflection and see the familiar lines crease across your forehead. A few days later, you raise your eyebrows andnothing. The skin stays put. It's subtle, even anticlimactic, but it's also the clearest proof that the world's most famous anti-wrinkle injection isn't magic or mystery.

'Stem cell-based' treatments and just the latest aesthetic treatment marketed to those seeking to maintain or obtain youthful skin, but what exactly is involved and what's the evidence that they work It's hard to keep track of the number of scientifically based beauty treatments on offer these days. Most are aimed at middle-aged females with disposable incomes, who are willing to splash large amounts of money on their skin to counter the effects of time.
