The Hidden Inflammation Accelerating Your Skin Aging
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Inflammation is not your enemy. It is one of the most essential processes in your body, your skin's defense and repair program, the fire alarm that calls the immune system when something goes wrong. Without it, you cannot heal. The problem is what happens when that alarm never switches off.
In this episode, I explore inflammation and inflammaging, the chronic, low-grade, systemic inflammation that builds quietly with age and accelerates skin aging from the inside out. I explain the five classic signs of inflammation, why so many aesthetic procedures deliberately use controlled inflammation to trigger regeneration, and what goes wrong when inflammation becomes too intense, too frequent, or never fully resolved. I cover every major trigger of inflammaging, and what each one does to your skin at a cellular level. And I share the practical anti-inflammaging strategy: why antioxidants must be part of your daily routine, which anti-inflammatory ingredients actually work, and how to build a skincare routine that calms the fire alarm rather than feeding it.
