This week's podcast is only skin deep as we dedicate the show to an extended interview with Professor Des Tobin.

Des told Dr Natalie Starkey about the latest scientific research into anti-ageing skin treatments, how a pill might replace skin creams, and why skin health is vital. He and Natalie were chatting at last year's British Science Festival in Newcastle, where Prof Tobin gave a presentation.
