**Key Insights from Dr. Teo Soleymani on Skin Health, Appearance, and Longevity** 1. Skin Regeneration and Stress Impact - Human skin surface regenerates approximately every 28 days - Short-term stress can cause pale skin appearance due to blood vessel constriction - Long-term stress, associated with cortisol, can accelerate aging by breaking down collagen and elastin 2. Caffeine, Nicotine, and Alcohol Effects on Skin - Caffeine's vasoconstriction effect on skin is minimal and temporary - Nicotine, especially when smoked or vaped, can accelerate skin aging and impair wound healing - Alcohol can cause short-term dehydration and long-term negative impacts on skin health 3. Hydration and Moisturizers - Drinking water doesn't directly affect skin hydration; genetics play a primary role - Moisturizers should be non-comedogenic and chosen based on skin type - Three main types: ointments (greasiest), creams, and lotions (lightest) 4. Sun Exposure and Protection - Moderate sun exposure can improve mood and overall well-being - 15-20 minutes of sun exposure on forearms is sufficient for vitamin D production - Physical barriers (clothing, shade) are more effective than topical sunscreens - Mineral-based sunscreens are preferred over chemical ones due to safety concerns 5. Skin Cancer and Prevention - Sunscreen use may not significantly reduce the most common types of skin cancer - Genetics and immune system play significant roles in skin cancer development - Regular skin exams by a dermatologist are recommended for everyone 6. Nutrition and Skin Health - Strong connection between gut microbiome and skin health - High protein, anti-inflammatory diet is optimal for skin health - Collagen and omega-3 supplements may have benefits but also potential drawbacks 7. Skincare Treatments and Procedures - Retinoids are effective for improving skin health and appearance - Laser resurfacing can improve skin appearance and potentially reduce skin cancer risk - Red light therapy may improve vascular flow and aid in hair restoration 8. Common Skin Conditions - Psoriasis: inflammatory condition treatable with topical creams, lifestyle changes, and phototherapy - Vitiligo: autoimmune disorder associated with lower skin cancer risk - Acne: influenced by diet, particularly high glycemic index foods and certain dairy products - Rosacea: four types with various triggers and treatments - Eczema: caused by genetic barrier defects, environmental factors, and immune response Conclusion: Dr. Teo Soleymani's insights provide a comprehensive overview of skin health, covering various aspects from daily skincare routines to advanced treatments and common skin conditions. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding individual skin needs, the impact of lifestyle factors, and the latest advancements in dermatological care. By highlighting the complex interplay between genetics, environment, and personal habits, Dr. Soleymani offers valuable guidance for maintaining healthy, youthful-looking skin while addressing potential health risks. This information equips individuals with the knowledge to make informed decisions about their skin care regimens and when to seek professional dermatological advice.

So Dr Soleymani isn't a fan of chemical sunscreens, but has NO PROBLEM advertising HIS OWN product, Sun Powder, a supplement that's supposed to replace actual sunscreens?? He doesn't even properly disclose this in the video, nor does he inform how involved he is, and just by looking at the website it seems he's REALLY involved as his face appears all over the website. Good grief🙄At the end of the day, he's a Dermatologist, NOT a toxicologist or cosmetic chemist who actually specializes in the actual things they're both claiming (which there are MANY online who will refute/disagree with a lot of their claims...).

It was a multi-month process of detoxification for me but adjusting my diet to remove my inflammatory triggers (for me it’s milk, dairy, and processed sugar) and support your microbiome and liver. I used to have ~20 large cystic pustules on my face at one time, and now, after the help of a functional medicine doctor, I’m completely clear without any prescriptions!

1:16:07 I am sorry but this advice is not widespread to all contexts. In europe there are already pleanty sunscreen filters that are not absorve or minimaly absorved. It is only in the USA that the old sunscreen filters still compose the majority of sunscreen protection. If you are in the USA and you don't have access to European approve filters, try to buy La roche posay sunscreen with Meroryl SX and XL. This 2 filters don't have any major side effects associated with them. If you in Europe, look for ultra broadspectrum sunscreen like Avene containing Triasorb or the La roche posay UVmune line, this sunscreens protects against the longest wave UVA spectrum.

[@rediempti]

This guest easily confirmed Dr. Huberman's (US-centric) biases against chemical sunscreens and in favor of mineral sunscreens, without discussing important regional differences. For example: - The EU treats sunscreens as cosmetics, allowing for quicker approval times. - The FDA treats sunscreens as OTC drugs, requiring extensive testing. - The FDA hasn't approved a new type of sunscreen since 1999. - The EU has approved 27 active ingredients for sunscreens. - The EU regulates maximum concentration of these ingredients based on scientifically estimated safety levels. When examining potential dangers, issues can be found even in mineral sunscreen formulations, such as the use of butyloctyl salicylate (BOS) for texture and appearance improvement. While I'm not an expert in this field, it seems clear that important information, especially opposing viewpoints, is often overlooked when drawing conclusions on the sensitive topic of sunscreens.

Thank you for this! I'm in USA and just discovered la rouche posay it's so much better and different than any other sunscreen I've tried

@@Eteraz humm feeling wise yes but strength wise no. Korean sun screens are cool for everyday use but personally I still burn if I use them on the beach.

I just wish someone would release a heavy duty sunscreen from Korea…

I went to a rheumatologist for my psoriatic arthritis last year. It had gotten so bad in my knees that I was limping. Doc was quick to prescribe medicine with a long list of negative side effects. He spoke of no other means of remedy. My wife (a dietitian) wasn't a fan of the visit. She recommended that I first eliminate sugars, gluten, processed foods, and alcohol (basically follow a Paleo diet) and try to better monitor my stress (practice mindfulness and exercise.) I did all of that and within just a few weeks my symptoms improved significantly. A year has passed and I feel fantastic. Moral of the story - Eat clean and be merry. It'll do the body good.

[@BBxx19]

There is no such thing as „eating clean“. Your body is likely reacting to one or more of the foods you cut out. You can eat as „clean“ as you like, if your immune system reacts to the „clean“ food, you will still have a bad time. So it makes more sense to try an elimination diet than to just cut out everything (unless you do not mind losing a lot of weight and possibly missing nutrients).

Thank you for this excellent talk. I would just like to mention that when you go out in sunlight , covering up to prevent the short wave UV damage, you are still having the longer wave length red light , particularly near infra red light, penetrating deeply and causing beneficial effects, e.g. activation of mitochondria. This may be what is making you feel better, both physically and mentally.

Thank you Dr for your great tips and useful advices. i had acne for 6 years and i wanna explain my journey. maybe it works for even 1 person to get rid of the acne. cause acne and having a bad skin, effects on your confident. first of all, before every thing that you wanna do for your skin, please do a blood test. and by this test, you know your hormone problems. its a significant part of your journey. (i mean more important than every thing!) after that you should stop eating sugar and snacks. and you can replace more water and fruits. and eating herbs with your dinner and lunch. after that, if you have oily skin like me, you should keep your skin clean. and use the gentle cleanser (harsh cleanser make your skin worse) moisturizer (if you have oily skin, use the kind of moisturizer that they based on water and not so much greasy when you use it) and sunscreen. this three products are necessary that you wanna a clean skin without acne. reduce your stress. and if you are a girl, don't use foundation (especially heavy creams and oily and greasy creams). go to clinics and tell your problems for Dr. and for your redness, you should use the moisturizer and sunscreen and drink a lot of water. i promise you, it get better. and some times squeeze the sour lemon on your food. take tablets to balance your hormones. don't smoke, don't drink alcohol. love your self, it takes time. but after two month you see the big result. keep going and do all of my advices. don't give up. just do it. ❤

Thank you for this episode!!! I want to write a comment on ROSACEA and ECZEMA. I hope this may help someone! I have lived with it for 30 years and I am 65 years old now. I don´t have to do anything else than avoid severe stress. Neither alcohol nor spices nor any kinds of food trigger an outbreak! The rosacea may become a little worse, but just a little. I use only water to rinse my face. I have had real outbreaks because of difficulties in life: when my mother got brain cancer I got 30 pimples every day and my forehead was completely covered. Afterwards it totally disappeared! In the beginning when my boy friend was hostile towards my daughter the whole breast region looked like a red "cake". When things worked out it disappeared! After my boyfriend died and I chose a wrong partner, rosacea broke out terribly. My nose was red-violet and my face was completely full of bad pimples. Just one thought could trigger one pimple in seconds. When I broke up with him the rosacea disappeared totally. I have experienced this several times (I have a kind of extreme claustrophobia when I get together with the wrong partner, so I may get 40 in fever and become very stressed). Now I am a bit stressed because of minor things in life and I get pimples from time to time, but not a real breakout. That´s a big difference! This is not research, just long experience. I use "Finacea" cream if I get a pimple. If I am relaxed and my life is good, I have no signs of neither rosacea nor eczema!

It was recommended to me by my company doctor because I developed a sun allergy that gave me hives the first times I sunbathed during those seasons and I don't get them anymore, I don't get a sunburn as easily and it prolongues my tan. By the way I love your KZbin channel and podcasts!!

[@zulfiyaadams4928]

Two beautiful, highly intelligent human beings ! Thank you for information you are sharing!!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@ximenaelgueda3273]

El contenido de este podcast nos ha enseñado mucho y ha cambiado nuestra forma de pensar acerca de la piel y lo que esta necesita y sin duda una segunda ronda sería magnífico. Increíble ! Bravo 👏🏼

[@adrianagross5921]

I can't believe he said the petroleum based moisturizers are the best for the skin!!!

[@TheKremor]

It creates an barrier. And he didn't say exactly that. He said. That depending on your skin type choose your moisturizers.

[@LalaNaidu]

I was surprised by that too. However, I’m so grateful for the opportunity to hear Dr. Teo’s opinion and find relief in that great skincare doesn’t have to be expensive. Still, I think there are much better options than petroleum-based skincare.

[@StoicAurelius1]

By far one of the most important conversations with Prof. Huberman. Thank you once again

[@vaishnav-jm5hf]

I love your communication sir Thanks a lot to making video's like this

[@mellink14]

This is so informative! I get excited each time I see you have a new episode posted!

[@dingdingdingding2871]

There is lot of dud there as well

[@alandoolan337]

I tuned in for the Psoriasis piece specially but ended up in the Chemo category with a loved one out of the blue and would love some/any advice Dr Teo has specifically on post chemo skin treatment? Much respect gents, a stunning show 🙌

[@Niloufarsaber]

I am sitting with my notebook, ready to indulge in this episode!

[@dingdingdingding2871]

You’ll be better served with Lab Muffin Beauty science and Dr Dray.

Enjoyed this podcast. Would love to have one on working out for senior women. I am in my early 70'sand go to the gym 4-5 times weekly. Love to work out with weights, HIIT classes and stretching and mobility. Need to learn about it, since many personal trainers are not used to work out with seniors.

[@saraswati999]

I grew up in Eastern Europe i remember women did not have access to a lot of expensive creams and yet had beautiful skin my grandma had no lines and some will say genetics well whatever it was one thing they did NOT do is wear skin makeup. Creams were natural basic people especially loved creams with chamomile ,rose or nettles. They loved cucumber as mask for cleanser the most basic soap was popular / Nivea and Oil of Olay was a luxury (the original creams) not the versions we see now, another one was Johnson and Johnson also a luxury for most :)))😊However despite of all women used to see Estheticians on regular basis , facials were incredibly popular and steaming with herbs. Those Estheticians were walking encyclopedias when it came to skin care and they always knew what to do.

[@nufufu5558]

This was awesome. I have wanted an episode on all of this stuff for a while now so I am really glad this came out and it covered many topics I was curious about.

[@MartinFobesFilms]

Loved this episode. Teo is a gem! Thanks for all that you do Andrew!

[@tracyramos1019]

As a Doctor you take an oat to first do no harm. When when you do a video with a lot of inaccurate or incomplete information that can cause major harm to a person in order sell a supplement, you are not living up to that oat.

[@Jimminityjabooboo]

as someone who is insanely fair and has genetic predisposition to skin cancer this is was very helpful

[@miriammeester538]

Thank you dr Huberman! I’m a big fan of your podcasts, they have changed my lifestyle. I feel so much better now! Especially this skin episode I found very interesting as I work on skin daily: I own a salon to remove hair. And actually I think it would be very interesting to hear science based information about hair removal: people have done this since more than 2000 years ago. So it’s in the interest of many people. Why do we have hair, is it functional? And does it cause damage somehow when you remove it permanently? I would love to know more about this.

[@NinaT940]

Andrew, thank you🙌 another no BS knowledgeable guest. I learnt so much. ❤

[@natalieaxl804]

Retin A / Tretinoid is the best 👌 🙌 Thank you for Great podcast 🙏❤

[@katherinep4210]

Please ask Dr. Teo how to deal with "skeeter syndrome" and healing the welts when they become infected and inflamed. Great show, thanks so much!

[@qisatsana]

THANK YOU, Dr. Huberman for this AMAZING platform you've created!!!!! I can't find words to express all my love, gratitude, excitement to all you di and for this amazing space here!! SO much value!! SO much knowledge! SO much clarity and sense!! THANK YOU AGAIN! I see the world more clearly because of your work!!

[@sdmsdm7926]

This is truly eye opening, so much information, I will need to go over this again. I definitely will send this to friends especially the sun worshipers and the ones who I know suffer with HPV! Thank you for this very interesting video!

[@stop.for.a.moment.and.think.]

Dr. Huberman, it would be nice to have a podcast with Dr. Mike Mew, discussion the structure of the face and what influences it, thank you!

[@DaboooogA]

1:45:00 Accutane has been linked to the onset and/or exacerbation of psychotic, depressive and suicidal symptoms. Shocking that this is still recommended by industry professionals.

[@raffaellocortese6695]

An episode on diabetes would be very useful for me and I am sure for many others. I listened to so many discussions about diet and exercise on this podcast but I was unable to select the information that was useful for me (type 1 diabetes). And to add to the confusion, there is contradictory information on the best dietary approach for diabetes sufferers. Some clarity on these topics would be very helpful to me, thank you.

[@AwakasJega]

This is the best KZbin channel ever exists.You may be blest Andrew

[@allahoutthatstace]

I was waiting for you to talk about combo skin, but I'm sure that would be a very complex discussion. Thank you for the insight!

[@juniorqiniso1556]

This was amazing. Thank you Andrew. Dr Teo is a Supernova like You

[@gigifreefreed501]

Thank you Dr. Tao. Even though it's 2:46 fascinating, thought-provoking, and practically helpful. Thank you Dr. Huberman for these worthwhile "masterclasses". (Love the voices of both these guys).

[@sharonbailey8404]

Very insightful presentation/information. Would enjoy another session with this guest and topic.

[@normadenys8089]

Great show , thanks so much for having invited him , so much I didn’t know about the skin wow !

[@minahana1112]

It was great to listen to dr. Soleymani. I was however very disappointed that you didn't ask him about hidradenitis supporativa. It is quite common disease, very painful and debilitating, worse than psoriasis.

[@ididbadthings]

I've never heard anyone talk about this "Sun powder" that he sells and I follow many dermatologists. Love to hear some other derms speak on it.

[@SonyaDay-gm1pw]

Thanks so much for doing this. It was a pleasure to listen. I particularly enjoyed how you described the research without burdening the listener with endocrine dysfunction in reptiles, mammals, and humans. Thinking of the images and reptile life choices made me smile reading some social media comments. Well Done.

[@newday2637]

Wow, such an awesome interview . Teo gave so much information to help save everyone money. The pharma companies know how important skin appearance is to everyone . They use that to make a great deal of money . I am lucky to have good skin , I also do not smoke or drink so that has helped. Will definitely look forward to Teo returning as a guest . Thank you for sharing all the information you do.

[@gigifreefreed501]

WOW! The MOST fascinatingly informative and incredibly "clarifying" EXPERT discussion regarding everything SKIN!!! Thank you both! Another home run Dr. Andrew Huberman ❤

[@maryamk6988]

This episode was a game-changer! The insights on skin health were not only informative but also easy to implement. Thank you for breaking down complex topics and making them so relatable.

[@borystseluiko8454]

such a wonderful podcast, so much useful information. Thank you both!

[@carriesweeney6413]

Thank you for al of this information. Loved this podcast. The HPV vaccine has been a decision I have struggled with. The decision to get the HPV vaccine for my sons has been a difficult one, especially since I have zero trust in the medical institutions after covid.

[@willnewcomer2125]

1:40:21 I was under the impression we have radio-tagged collagen before oral consumption and later found those molecule incorporated into the body’s collagenous tissue…

[@ahrinkim2218]

Always grateful for these precious contents, Dr. Huberman :) I have one question to ask: I have psoriasis but I feel like it has gotten worse since I started taking Concerta pill ( Diagnosed with ADHD ), Is there any related mechanism of this medicine affecting on skin health ?

[@metrophysicaltherapyphysic6425]

I could have missed that- does Dr Soleymani recommend retinoids in form of oral medication? Or ointment? Ty

[@mlouw8218]

Super enjoyable and interesting/helpful discussion! I hope there’ll be a sequel 🤓 Thanks so much to both of you 🙏 *A good future guest would be Dr. William Li

[@sammistrade]

Just watched Lab Muffin’s video correcting a lot of this information. Disappointed that you would put out such misleading information. I always thought you did your due diligence for research but I guess not.

[@sammistrade]

ESPECIALLY with having a guest promote their own product. This whole episode feels like an ad now.
