Your skin is not just a surface, it’s a living, breathing ecosystem of billions of cells, all working in perfect harmony.

In this episode, Dr. Tiina Meder takes you beneath the surface to explore the nine key types of skin cells, from keratinocytes and fibroblasts to melanocytes and fat cells, and how each one shapes the way your skin looks, feels, and functions. You’ll learn how collagen is made (and destroyed), why stress can trigger pigmentation, how massage actually activates skin cells, and why balance, not aggression, is the real secret to long-term skin health. Whether you’re a skincare professional or simply curious about how your skin truly works, this episode will transform the way you think about your daily routine.
