If you've started wondering what actually ages your skin — the dryness that wasn't there a year ago, a little sag along the jaw, lines that seem to have arrived overnight — this episode is the calm…
Um, so I think a lot of it, our skin aging is, you know, coming from maybe somewhere else in the body.
Um, and we're missing it by treating the skin, like, topically in isolation.
It's your largest organ, and it's constantly responding to what's happening, like what we feed it, antioxidants, protein.
And keratin is a protein, so if we don't eat enough of it, um, you know, that's gonna compromise our, um, our, our skin integrity as well.
Um, chronic stress can increase cortisol, and cortisol, you know, is associated with that collagen breakdown and changes in the barrier function of the skin.
Um, and hormonal fluctuations can affect hydration, the pigmentation, breakouts, you know, the thickness of your skin, all of those things.
So from that perspective, I imagine that you see, depending on the habits that people, not even like the topical skin habits, but the actual health habits that people are following ... how well they're aging on the outside.
And so what are some of the main habits that contribute to skin aging? And then conversely, what are some of the habits that, um, you know, promote a long-term kind of youthful, glowing skin? And from what you've said, I, I can guess some of them, but, but yeah, good to really make those clear.
