Could you talk a little bit about what the biological processes are that are at play that cause skin ageing?

Okay, so there are different types of causes, you know, external and internal causes.

If you start with the internal causes, I think it's just what you're referring to is simply, unfortunately, the biological clock.

And our skin, actually, naturally, our cell renewal process slows down after 25, 30 years, it depends a little bit on your genes.

I mean, some people get luckier and it might start later for them, but everybody is under this decline of the cell renewal process.

And so that's the main cause of skin aging.

Unfortunately, it's our biology.

Please tell me about it.

Uh, just again, love to hear, uh, your story of what, uh, got you moving fast and furious into this realm of beauty, uh, forty years ago, and the background story of why.

[laughs] Well, indeed, it's a pretty long story that started, um, forty years ago, as you said, um, when I...

Uh, just after I graduated from, um, a business school in, in France.

As you have guessed, you know, I'm French, born and raised in Paris.

And, um, I...

When I decided what I really wanted to do, uh, with my career, I...

There was one thing that really I want-- [laughs] that I wanted to achieve is, uh, work globally.

Yeah.

Okay

... uh, Robert Gallo in California.

Well, anyway, cut a long story short, Professor Montagnier is, um, is a great supporter of, uh, natural medicine, natural products, and he believed that, um-Um, you know, uh, natural products, uh, botanical extract could be part of the arsenal against, um, you know, AIDS.

Of course, you have a first stage, which are all those retroviral drugs, but, um, those drugs do nothing against the damage, um, that are caused by the virus.

And, uh, so that's where natural, um, uh, medicine and natural, natural health products can do something.

And basically they were working in an...

And this is a whole story, so [laughs] I want to let your listener breathe a little bit, but that's when it started.

Okay.
