Discover the science behind how our skin changes with age and why understanding your skin type is essential for healthy aging. In this episode, we break down the biological drivers of aging skin — including reduced collagen and elastin, slower cell turnover, and the role of external factors like UV exposure and pollution. We explore the most common signs of aging skin — from fine lines and wrinkles to dryness and thinning layers — and explain how different skin types (oily, dry, combination, normal) react uniquely as time goes on. You’ll also learn about the major types of skin aging, such as intrinsic aging, extrinsic aging, and photoaging, and how these processes affect appearance and texture.

In the second half, we dive into practical, science-backed treatments and prevention strategies. Hear expert tips on effective ingredients like retinoids, antioxidants, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and industry treatments such as chemical peels and microneedling. We also talk lifestyle factors — including sun protection, hydration, balanced nutrition, and sleep — that help slow aging effects and support skin resilience.
