What if the products you’re being told to buy are doing more harm than good?

In this episode of Biohacking Beauty, we strip it back to unfiltered opinions, no scripts, no fluff, just real talk about the ingredients and habits that get way too much attention in skincare.

We call out why certain “hero” ingredients, like high-dose niacinamide, may actually backfire with chronic use, and why collagen powders in hot coffee aren’t the miracle they’re sold as. We dig into the over-exfoliation trap, explain why protecting your barrier is the foundation for every other biohack, and spotlight methylene blue as one of the most underutilized longevity tools for skin.

At the end of the day, trends will come and go, but your skin cells don’t follow hype — they respond to biology. This episode will change the way you think about your routine.
