🔹 About This Episode:
Are we protecting ourselves from the sun… or missing out on its benefits? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Teo Soleymani—dermatologist, skin cancer expert, and creator of Sunpowder—to explore the nuanced science of sun exposure, skin aging, and cancer risk. We unpack the myths that drive fear-based messaging around sunlight, SPF use, and skin pigmentation while offering a more empowered, evidence-based perspective.
Dr. Soleymani shares cutting-edge insights on internal sun protection, the role of genetics in skin cancer, and how supplements like nicotinamide, astaxanthin, and polypodium can support skin health. We also cover melasma, melanin, the pros and cons of sunscreen types, and how to rejuvenate your skin from the inside out. If you’re ready to rethink sun safety and learn how to age beautifully and wisely in the sun, this is your episode.
