Today’s approach to health and beauty care no longer stops at external skin nourishment but advances into the science of Aesthetic Wellness, focusing on inside-out balance to achieve sustainable "Timeless Beauty."
At an academic discussion, Dr. Sureerat Sritangratnagul, Deputy Director of the Preventive and Restorative Health Clinic and Director of the Skin, Beauty, and Hair Health Clinic, and Khun Sirium Phakdidamrongrit, a famous 1990s actress who values holistic health care, talked about Inside Out Aesthetic Wellness. This concept promotes systematic health and beauty care using scientific and medical principles to restore internal balance outwardly, covering holistic health, mental well-being, emotions, and stress management for lasting beauty.
Dr. Sureerat explained that everyone inevitably enters the aging phase, with skin being the most visibly affected organ. The factors causing skin aging are divided into:
Khun Ann Sirium, who has long maintained her health, shared her experiences, emphasizing the importance of age-appropriate self-care, especially foundational aspects often overlooked.
"Ann prioritizes good sleep, which is difficult but essential. Managing stress becomes crucial with age, using meditation and mindful breathing practices to calm the mind and reduce dwelling on past or future thoughts."
Ann often plays tennis and practices boxing to maintain muscle, along with weight training, which is especially important during menopause to preserve muscle mass, support body structure, and benefit hormones.
Dr. Sureerat stressed avoiding fried and processed foods, while promoting skin-friendly foods like antioxidant-rich vegetables, nuts, and low-sugar diets, as sugar damages skin. She also recommended probiotics such as kimchi containing beneficial microbes.
Annual health and hormone assessments are essential, especially with age, since test results change over time. Early detection allows timely adjustments to life and bodily balance.
Supplements can modestly slow aging, but the best approach is a balanced diet. If intake is insufficient, identifying deficiencies helps proper supplementation. Vitamins and nutrients beneficial for skin include Coenzyme Q10, various antioxidants, vitamins A, B, C, D, E, astaxanthin, and curcumin.
Alongside internal care, external skincare must continue, with doctors recommending daily use of moisturizers and sunscreen to prevent external damage. Additional measures include skin analysis and using personalized cosmeceutical products.
Dr. Sureerat considers lifestyle management—controlling all external factors we can influence such as diet, exercise, sleep, stress, and pollution protection—as the most crucial for slowing aging.
Khun Ann Sirium emphasizes maintaining strong physical and mental health to promote radiance, confidence, and a happy life.
Therefore, sustainable skincare and beauty is not about waiting for problems but about "early prevention," starting lifestyle improvements in early 30s across all dimensions.
