You know that moment when you start noticing subtle changes in your skin and wonder if it’s too early (or too late) to start 'anti-aging'? This episode of The Skin Real invites you to rethink that narrative. Dr. Mary Alice Mina sits down with Barbara Green to unpack the science and soul of pre-aging: a proactive, empowering approach to skin longevity that begins in your 20s and 30s.
Together, they explore what’s really happening beneath the surface when collagen starts to dip, why sunscreen is your best anti-aging tool, and how simple, evidence-based routines can keep your skin radiant for decades!
Key Takeaways:
✓ Pre-aging isn’t fear-based. it’s future-based: it’s about protecting, preserving, and boosting what you already have. ✓ Collagen starts to decline by 1% per year in your mid-20s, making daily sun protection and gentle skincare key to maintaining firmness and glow. ✓ Sunscreen is non-negotiable. It’s the single most effective way to prevent premature aging—and it doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated. ✓ Ingredients that matter: SPF, peptides, vitamin C, niacinamide, and retinol (used appropriately) are the building blocks of youthful, resilient skin. ✓ Healthy skin mirrors healthy habits. Hydration, stress management, sleep, and self-kindness are as essential as serums. ✓ Prevention is power, and caring for your skin is caring for your future self.
Tune in, take notes, and remember: the best time to start protecting your skin was yesterday. The second-best time is now!
