What if skincare wasn't about anti-aging, but about longevity?

Join us as Lisa sits down with Alena Demina, CEO & Founder of SYSTEM SKIN, a brand redefining what's possible in skincare.

In this episode, we explore how SYSTEM SKIN is disrupting the beauty narrative – breaking free from overconsumption, overwhelm, and waste. Alena shares how the brand translates the core framework of longevity science into a one-step protocol that biohacks the skin system for microbiome to mitochondria, muscle to DNA.

The result? Skincare that works with your biology, switching it back into high-performance mode, for faster, deeper, and longer-lasting results – without the need for endless routines or miracle ingredients.
