If your skin could talk, what might it say about how you’re aging? Would it say “This woman is rocking it” or “There might be a few things that you can tweak”?
In this episode, my guest and I explore how your skin is far more than a beauty metric—it’s a living reflection of your hormones, inflammation, stress, and overall health. I’m joined by Dr. Mamina Turegano, a triple board-certified dermatologist with a powerful internal-medicine perspective on aging skin. Together, we break down what actually works after 40, what’s hype, and how to build a smarter inside-out strategy for skin longevity.
What you’ll learn:
(02:05) Why your skin is a direct reflection of hormones, inflammation, and mitochondrial health.
(05:35) How stress and cortisol can trigger acne, hives, dandruff, and flare-ups.
(09:01) What estrogen decline during perimenopause does to collagen, hydration, and skin thickness.
(12:44) Which skincare ingredients have the strongest evidence for anti-aging after 40.
(19:18) How peptides, autophagy, and cellular senescence affect visible skin aging.
(25:49) Why hydrocolloid patches work so well for hormonal and inflammatory acne.
(28:04) What red and blue light therapies actually do for inflammation, acne, and rejuvenation.
(42:33) How to fade dark spots, melasma, and acne scars without making pigmentation worse.
