Episode notes

Over-treatment of the skin with excessive products often exacerbates issues like inflammation and breakouts. Individuals experiencing skin problems should first evaluate their current skincare regimen, which may include too many unnecessary products. Returning to basics is crucial; this involves using a simple cleanser and an antioxidant serum in the morning and possibly an anti-aging cream at night. It's advised to eliminate products with fragrances and complex chemicals, particularly toners and moisturizers if they are unnecessary for certain skin types, such as oily skin. Simplifying the skincare routine often leads to improved skin health and appearance.

In this special "Best Of" episode of The Human Upgrade, four leading experts share their insights on skincare, skin health, and cutting-edge techniques to enhance your appearance and overall well-being.

Rachel Varga, a Board-Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist and recognized expert in skin rejuvenation, discusses the importance of biohacking for maintaining vibrant, healthy skin. She highlights key strategies, including air and water purification, regular detoxification, and the careful selection of skincare products free from harmful chemicals.

Dr. Anthony Youn, a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon and bestselling author, reveals the most common skincare mistakes made by both men and women. He provides actionable advice on avoiding harmful practices like over-exfoliation and improper sunscreen use, while also emphasizing the critical role of diet in achieving glowing, youthful skin.

Dr. Nayan Patel, a global expert in glutathione research and author of The Glutathione Revolution, explains the essential role of glutathione in detoxification and cellular health. He shares insights into the most effective methods for glutathione supplementation and the latest advancements in personalized health testing.
