Bitesize Biohack: Is Sunscreen Safe? The Effect of Diet On Sun Damage & The Little Known Collagen Destroyer in Your Home with Dr Rachel Varga
Angela is joined by Rachel Varga to talk about the importance of skincare, sun protection, and biohacking for optimal health and wellness. They focus on the significance of wearing mineral sunscreen daily, especially due to the deeper penetration of blue light from screens into the skin.
They also talk about the use of pregnancy-safe and kid-safe products free of harmful toxins, such as parabens and sulfates, exploring the role of peptides, specifically Melanotan-2, in enhancing melanin production, anti-aging benefits, and libido enhancement
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Avoid products with chemical sunscreens like avobenzone or oxybenzone.
- Opt for mineral sunscreens with zinc or titanium as active ingredients to protect hormone production.
- Look for products free of parabens, phthalates, sulfates, artificial dyes, and fragrances to ensure safety for both adults and children.
- Consider Melanotan-2 for tanning: This peptide can help increase melanin production, providing a tan without the need for self-tanners, while also offering other benefits like libido enhancement and appetite suppression.
- Be cautious with new rejuvenation options: Wait for products like peptides and stem cells to be well-studied and established in the market before considering them for anti-aging or aesthetic purposes.
BEST MOMENTS
"The blue light coming from your devices and screens is actually penetrating 100 nanometers deeper into the skin than the naturally occurring UVA and UVB rays."
"I'm a big fan of using pregnancy safe, kid safe products for hair care, cleaning, and personal care, free of toxins like parabens, phthalates, and sulfates”
"I do not fear the sun but ensure I have great products on my face, neck, chest, hands, and take hyper-focused antioxidants and supplements for internal defence."
