EP 44: What's Really Causing Your Skin to Age? | The Science Behind Elasticity
Ever wonder why some people seem to maintain youthful, bouncy skin well into their later years while others show signs of aging much earlier? I’m Dr. Hillary Lin, a Stanford-trained longevity physician, and I'm pulling back the curtain on skin elasticity - one of the most visible markers of biological aging. In this episode, we're going beyond basic skincare advice to explore the fascinating science of how our skin maintains its youthful structure and what actually drives its deterioration over time.
What You'll Learn:
- The hidden connection between skin elasticity and longevity
- Why that expensive moisturizer isn't fixing the real problem
- The surprising truth about collagen production and skin aging
- How your diet directly impacts your skin's ability to stay firm
- The role of "zombie proteins" in skin aging (and how to fight them)
- Evidence-based strategies that work from the cellular level up
- Which trendy skincare ingredients are worth your money
Whether you're noticing your first fine lines or looking to maintain your skin's resilience long-term, this episode delivers actionable insights based on cutting-edge longevity research. We'll explore how your skin's health reflects your biological age and what you can do to protect its natural elasticity using science-backed approaches that go far beyond just topical treatments.
Let's decode the complexity of skin aging together and discover what really works for maintaining that youthful bounce - supported by real evidence, not marketing hype.
