SKIN LONGEVITY SCIENTIST: How to Slow Skin Aging From the Inside Out | Dr. Carolina Reis Oliveira

Aging skin isn't a cosmetic problem or a beauty routine. It's a biology problem and a framework for treating your skin as part of your health span. Dr. Carolina Reis Oliveira is an immunologist, PhD, and co-founder of OneSkin, the biotech company that spent five years screening over 900 peptides to target skin aging at the cellular level. We talked about why roughly 70 to 80 percent of skin aging is within your control, how senescent "zombie" cells quietly degrade collagen and drive inflammation, and why the skin on your body, not just your face, deserves real attention. Aging well is something you get to build, not just brace for. What we explore: Why lifestyle, not genetics, drives most skin aging. How senescent "zombie" cells shut down collagen and spread inflammation. Why a stronger skin barrier lowers inflammation in your blood. What changes at the midlife density shift, and how to support your skin through it. How to use sunscreen, vitamin C, and retinoids without wrecking your barrier.
