Skinfluence with Dr. Dustin Portela

Episode 29: Skin in the Office — How Stress, Screens & Sitting Impact Your Skin


Listen Later

You don't have to work outside to take a hit from your environment. In this episode, Dr. Dustin Portela and PA Austin Lee uncover the hidden ways office life can affect your skin—from blue light exposure and recycled air to stress, poor posture, and even those tempting breakroom snacks.

They discuss how blue light can worsen pigmentation, how dry indoor air and heaters dehydrate skin, and why sitting all day can lead to circulation issues that dull your complexion. Plus, they share practical tips for healthier skin at work: using tinted sunscreen to block visible light, hydrating often, taking stretch breaks, managing stress, and even cleaning your phone and headset to avoid breakouts. This week's "Did You Know?" features wild skin trivia about heat exposure and office-induced rashes you've probably never heard of.

Whether you're working from home or back at the desk, this episode helps you build better skin habits where you spend most of your time—at work.
