Some people commenting just don’t understand balance or the fact that wearing sunscreen, sun glasses, hats and sun protective clothing doesn’t stop you from going outside and enjoying it or that eating healthy means you stop eating or adding exercise into your week doesn’t also stop you from enjoying your day but it can make you live longer and live a healthier life like keeping your joints in good health and bones since we know lifting weights is good for bone health.
Ya as if nobody can do their outside business before 11am. when the sun is more intense etc. too. I do most all my outside business before 11am. since I'm an early morning person
We are becoming a little obsessed with anti aging… life has to have some fun. Eat Whole Foods, stay hydrated, sun protection, Retinoids and Vitamin supplements. Let’s not forget how important genetics are in how your skin ages. I have hardly any wrinkles at 58.. few spots and never wear sunscreen on my face because I feel like I can’t breathe. I don’t spend a ton of time in the sun anyway. Love your dedication to inform us.❤
@@sussannekeith5676 I don't struggle with that as a guy but ultimately i just focus on living and taking care of my self, genetics also plays a role on how we fare as we age, just the way it is, personally i don't bother with skincare other than basic hygiene.
My friend is half Italian and half Lebanese. She is in her 60s and only recently quit smoking, she has a glass or two of wine daily, only started using sunscreen about ten years ago, always at the beach her whole life. Her olive skin looks great, she looks far younger. Always slim, never yo yo dieting. She won the genetic lottery: her 80ish Lebanese mother could pass as her sister. Amazing!
My mum is Italian and has the typical southern Mediterranean complexion, she's 65 and looks 15 years younger. Always ate clean Mediterranean good quality food and is often in the sun gardening (she is in central/south Italy). I guess genetics play a big role along with diet and lifestyle
Wow! I read in the comments you are 46! You look fantastic! I thought you were in your 20's! Congratulations! You're the living proof of what you teach! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hi Dr Stefani! I need to come in for Thermafrax soon. I want that snatched jawline !! I don’t touch alcohol, not a coffee drinker, drink white tea instead, keep dairy and carbs to a minimum,use great skincare, sunscreen, never smoked, no drugs, exercise 5 X a week, intermittent fast, get enough sleep and try and keep stress low.

@Jaylade when women fast they need to fast in evening vs morning. Breaking your fast in morning is much better for hormone regulation, then having last meal early afternoon. Men can fast in morning...sucks because its way easier for me to skip breakfast than dinner lol
Having gone through many difficult years in my marriage, stress sped up my skin aging. (Our marriage is better these days.) The information you gave was extremely helpful and I appreciate you! You are a beautiful young woman and God bless you.
Hi Dr. Stephani, I am autistic and have ADHD. I take a relatively high dose of a common stimulant medication which I have been on for approximately 15 yrs. I am studying to be a chemist at the University of Washington and greatly appreciate you providing peer reviewed research to us in UA-cam land. I have learned so much from you and have implemented many of your suggestions into my ADLs. I was wondering what you knew about the effects of stimulant meds on our skin (particularly long term) and how to manage them? Many thanks 😊
Great video. This whole acceptance by people with mindsets that you have to love getting older. What actually is getting older/aging? It’s the cellular deterioration and breakdown of our bodies hormone system, neural processing, collagen breakdown , muscle wasting , decrease in organ function , etc. You have to be nuts or just plain lazy not to want to do all you can to avoid all the damage that comes with cellular aging. Also practicing kindness it’s wonderful for the soul and anti aging. Also Research in saunas have demonstrated they are beneficial to longevity and reversal of our body’s ability to restore cellular function in many areas. Thank you for all your insightful, informative videos. Many of us would be lost without them. 😊
I'm all for longevity, and not a fan of romanticizing getting old either. That said, I think it's more about coming to peace with the aging process taking a toll on your body. Nothing wrong about trying to slow it down with a healthy lifestyle. But learning to become equanimous about getting older, practicing gratitude for the youth you got to experience, and ultimately accepting these losses. It is what you'll need to learn so that when you reach old age eventually, you don't end up like the various aging celebrities with appearance complexes. Once you've reached a certain number, society won't judge you for looking old, but trying too hard to look young.
Being good to your body, it’s good to you right back. I’m working on my self and my insulin resistance and diabetes, I want to be healthy and strong for my family. Listening to strong, intelligent women speak about their passions on helping others along their journeys, it’s such a beautiful thing. ❤

You’re such a helpful truthful resource for a medical spa owner/esthetician and RF specialist. You have made me feel so much more sure in our RF energy device purchase for tightening and collagen building. We bought new and from a reputable newer company. The training was phenomenal along with other energy device courses. We also have 3 medical doctors on staff that are doing actual cutting fillers and the like. I only use RF. I have been down a rabbit hole of your videos this am and now a loyal subscriber. I have already learned so much more than originally thought. You’re the absolute best ever and please don’t stop what you’re doing. All the best. Mateo Ambrose Leonardo Xoxoxo muah ❤
Iam going to drink water, allready took off my makeup 😊... i do it anyways but I just love to hear you and get excited and do everything while you speak. Thank you for a good and lovely video. I shared it with my sister. ❤❤❤❤
I LOVE your infos! ❤But careful, in University we just learned, that plant based milk is even more (or equal) inflammatory because of vegetable oils high in PUFAs (poly unsaturated fats) which contain arachidonic acid and produce prostaglandins. Which is why arachidonic acid should also be avoided when somebody has an inflammitory condition such as rheumatism. It also causes dark spots on the skin and is the reason our eyes and liver get worse as we age. I would recommend to avoid PUFAs and instead eat oils such as olive oil, fresh salmon (omega-3-supplements have been found to be carinogenic).
I’m 48 and never took of my oily skin until I was 40 as I always had great skin but I got age spots and hyperpigmentation on my skin but my skin is very elastic as a doctor removing a cherry angioma on my forehead told me recently. My wound healed in a matter of days and the stitches came off just with a wipe. 🍀🍀🍀
Can you make a video on self tanners and if they Age you and also how to use them when you include retinol vitamin c etc in skincare routine Can you also make a more in depth video about “clean” makeup and brands that won’t damage your skin?? ❤
your skin is the biggest organ on your body…do you really think slathering chemicals all over your entire body every week is good for it? Buy yourself a makeup/bronzer. And embrace your natural skin color. ❤
I’d love to hear Stefani’s take as well. I’m not a dermatologist so don’t have an in depth background on how self tanners affect the skin. However, taking into account “EWG”s website that has a tool that grades the cleanliness of products has been helpful. It may showcase what ingredients in self tanner are considered toxic.
If you want to create more collagen you can also try micro needling but you'll have to keep your face and neck out of the sun 100% to maintain the results
I def think stress caused some aging in the last year. Became extremely depressed this last year and having breakouts and from just being sad seemed like my face started some sag in the mid face. My forehead is ok and neck is still tight and not really much aging there. Just cheek lines deeper and mouth is turning down at corners. I’m 47 and people think I’m 15 years younger regularly. Don’t smoke, drink, tan, or eat a lot processed food. I have never been overweight. I think maybe it’s hormones too that could be causing the issues. Going to look into that. What do you think about visia skin age scans? Do you think they are accurate? It said I have less sun damage than 70% of others scanned. I don’t have many sun spots or pigmentation. Thanks for these videos. I love that your are very honest about your procedures and what you do to maintain great skin and beauty.
The visia scan detects photoamage but only to a certain extent and it is not full thickness (only superficial). I never really use them for that reason.
Hmmm.. Living for good skin or living to live…🤔 In all seriousness though- limiting all of the aforementioned foods & substances has indeed massively improved my skin. Number one is green drinks!! 🤩
Thank you for all this information. I wish I knew this when I was younger but I pass all information on to my daughter and granddaughter. I encourage them to watch your channel. I can’t wait for part two!
Thanks for this i had gotten a blue light therapy for my acne little did i know it was breaking my collagen will not use it again! Bad thing it cost me like $400!
My oldest daughter is your age. She lives her life and does not obsess over aging. I never thought about aging at your age. I guess I had my kids raised and had other things more important to dwell on. I was living my best life, enjoying 3 granddaughters at that age, enjoying traveling with my husband. Now that I am 67, though I do take care of myself, the most important thing I focus on is caring for my health so I can enjoy my now 6 granddaughters and one great-granddaughter and to live independently for as long as I can. Do the best you can. You're a beautiful girl. Life is short!
Hi Stefani! First off, I want to shout you out for your amazing content, and clear throughput of all the hard work and wisdom you’ve cultivated to share with us. Thank you thank you sister! I was curious, on the topic of “smoking” here in the US cigarettes, and tobacco are common, but so is marijuana. So when you were covering that topic - are you speaking to both? My assumption was that being in the presence of smoke itself is a created irritant for the skin and causes collagen breakdown. I recently learned both cigarette and marinuana smokers have higher levels of heavy metals as well. Cheers to you and your beautiful work! 🎉❤
Hi ❤ can you advice me what to ask my thermage provider on my first appointment. I live in the Netherlands Amsterdam. I really want to get it done but I’m afraid of loosing face fat as I’m 57 😢 really appreciate your advice 🙏
Doc I love the sun touching my skin 😂 that’s my only drug but I do wear sunscreen and I love coffee smell and taste in the AMs. I’m vegan for health for 10 +yrs but I noticed I have a slow healing and not a good elasticity in my skin. 😢😢😢 never done any lasers but bio stimulators. Not very lucky. Should I do PRP ?
I went to get a facial (the appointment was a gift from a family member). The lady put a warm probe on my face, she told me she was using it instead of steam. When I asked for the device's name, she told me she didn't remember because she had a lot of equipment. It felt nice but now I'm worried it may cause damage, have y'all heard of any like this? Toward the end of the facial she put on another probe and told me it was radiofrequency, she told me that the temperature was 80 degrees. Again, no name for the device was provided... should I worry? Any ideas of what these devices could be?
Thank you for this great series. You mention that oil is not good for the skin, what about these plant oils that are deemed to be good for the face, like castor oil (lots of hype on UA-cam now), rosehip and others?
Just did a video on this yesterday and just go into detail on why I am not a fan of oil on the face. There’s lots of info in that video for your question 🩷
TY Dr. Stefani! So glad I do most of this already, the only one I was surprised by was skim milk (I allow myself 1x coffee a day). Looking forward to next week’s vid! Could you also pls comment on diets? (Eg vegan, veggo, pescetarian, carnivore), I’m a pescetarian (seafood, but no meat & low dairy for those who don’t know) & I often get asked if that’s why I look younger. Thanks ❤
How do we protect the skin from blue lights? By the regular sunscreen? If so, we need to wear sunscreen all day long. It’s ok to sleep wearing sunscreen ?
I'm a beauty therapist in the UK. Do you have any recommendations for a proffesional antiaging and nutrition couse to help my clients. I thought I knew my stuff but obviously not as up to date as you're advice.
About uv protection I find all creams very oily and I have oily skin, so it's a nightmare to put on a sun screen every day. So what I found is a foundation with uv protection. What I use now is spf25. Do you think that's good protection? Is it as effective as a sun protection in a face cream?
Thank you for this fantastic educative video. I'm sure you mentioned it in many other videos, but poor sleep quality and duration can also increase cortisol levels. Blessings from Germany. 💛🙏
Can gentleman use ladies skin care products to look after their skin ? So many more skin care products available for Women here in the UK than what there is for men.
Sugar can really deplete Collagen. I had to tone done on eating too much sugar. My skin is much tighter now but it took a minute(meaning a while🤣) to see results but now I look way more youthful.🤗 👍
@victorias8592 I've tried so many facial serums ...none worked. Wasted so much money. My fault. Ok...I cut back on eating too much sugar. I just eat natural sugar from fruits but still not too much. One day I went too low on sugar and I was weak, dizzy and light headed at work. Our blood needs a certain amount of Glucous not fructose. But I was eating too little amount of sugar. I occasionally add monk fruit or Stevia sugar with certain natural drinks and also when I cook my Salmon. So I had to start eating enough good sugar(25g) to not lower too much collagen by eating too much sugar🤣. Ok...I been washing my face with Kojic Acid soap and my skin looks so firm and nice than before. I keep it on my face for maximum 60 seconds. I wash it off and put on Vit C serum then moisturizer at night. Morning after washing face with Kojic acid soap then Vit C then add SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen protection in the morning. I also exfoliate with No7 exfoliater twice a week. All that works for me. No body believes my age👍
I’ve been goth on and off most of my life, I really don’t like going out during the day/warm weather, and I can promise you being in my early 30s I look a lot younger than most of my friends that loved sunbathing and tanning… I don’t have a crazy skin care routine. I don’t even wash my face every day…. I don’t have the healthiest lifestyle but I try… it’s about balance and moderation. Not some military regime. So many of y’all in the comments I just grasping at straws like get a grip. 😂
I need to rethink my method of snacks to combat stress. Though I thought popcorn was healthy as it has antioxidants. As for coffee, I drink so much then I wonder why i have so much anxiety.
Thank you Dr. what a wonderful information! I appreciate very much! I congratulate you for your knowledge and your disposition to share with us! Thank you! Thank you!
Help me to understand how the use of herbicides, fungicides, pesticides in plants is better for health and the planet?? I don’t see as many bees and butterflies as I used to see growing up, and I don’t think that is because humans are eating them 🤔
@@u.n258I don’t think “looking plumper than ever” is something to boast. It’s actually a sign that your body is inflamed and getting too much fat. If you were only 16 when you went plant based/ vegan then you likely just jumped right into it without doing enough research first (as teenagers do) which caused you to not get the right amounts of certain nutrients.
Coffee polyphenols are also metabolically protective, so I am skeptical of the idea that caffeine in coffee is bad for your skin but caffeine in green tea isn't. I'm sure that whole bean coffee that isn't super-dark roasted has more polyphenols than heavily-processed, pre-ground coffee, or coffee that is super-dark. what's your understanding of the action of polyphenols in coffee?
Thank you for this deep dive into collagen! I love the scientific explanations that explain what influences collagen production and degradation. I always look forward to your super informative videos and will definitely be tuning in next week!
i have a genetic condition and my body produces execive amounts of collagen. sure i have no lines on my face but my joints... every joint in my body is in trouble and i have pain i cant drescribe
Advice for Vit C supplements please!! I was taking Vit c and it caused diarrhoea. I had no idea it could upset the digestive system. I never took on an empty stomach either. Thank you
Should we wear sunscreen inddors since blue light contributes to degrade collagen? And do air purifiers clear indoor air of collagen damaging pollutants? Also I wish you'd elaborate on which ingredients in skincare damage collagen over time. I'm guessing that anything irritating falls in this category though.
This whole list can seem overwhelming/excessive, but I'm not taking it as a suggestion to worry over ALL of it. Rather, it's more of a "Here's the landscape. Make whatever informed decisions are best for you." Know about the major degradation vectors and choose ones that are easier or more palatable to address. For example, I'm not giving up coffee (it has plenty of compensatory benefits), but I will now be more mindful of how high-sugar foods might affect my skin or whether or not I have a second cocktail with dinner, etc.
Excess oil can create hyperplasia (those ugly bumps on the face) as the sebaceous glands get bigger!! Those bumps are hard to get rid of and come back! Correct doctor? Can a healthy diet help with this issue doctor?
Something I would love to ask a professional that I trust (you!) is.. do the jade rollers actually do anything for skin? Do they actually help products absorb better or is it just getting all over the jade part? Does the action of rolling it across your face do anything at all? Basically would it benefit me to start using one or not? What about gua sha? Thanks !! Xox
Brown rice has low glycemic index and has good anti-oxidants and vitamins so she is good Make sure she cooks the rice with either olive oil,avocado oil or high quality butter not cheap inflammatory seed oils

What about those studies that say that wine can reverse aging? Does the antioxidants from the fermented grapes negate/overpower the negative effects of alcohol?
Thank U Dr Kappel, This, and All your content really informs and educates in such a lovely manner! Today's episode you created, you mentioned to not confuse having oily skin as a positive when I always was a little confused bc I realized excess sebum is not something ANYONE wants.. but we lose lipids as we age....but I hypothetically I used 2 think 🤔 if I had 2 choose a skin type I'd choose "oily skin" bc I have noticed many women with oily skin and no excess serum do not age at accelerated rate but I feel like an idiot as I'd get excited over any oil I get on my dry skin at almost age 40! I hope that makes sense! I take my words back NOW that I understand how to decipher skincare knowledge and research that is credibky sourced bc pores don't want something weighing them down unless it's an oil cleanser which I do use to remove make-up and know oily skin types that do as well but also go over with a cleanser and other products to absorb and Mattify! Thank for explaining so eloquently the importance of SPF! I really admire what U do! Thank U! ❤❤❤

The training was phenomenal along with other energy device courses. We also have 3 medical doctors on staff that are doing actual cutting fillers and the like. I only use RF. I have been down a rabbit hole of your videos this am and now a loyal subscriber. I have already learned so much more than originally thought. You’re the absolute best ever and please don’t stop what you’re doing. All the best. Mateo Ambrose Leonardo Xoxoxo muah ❤
@24:34 besides vitamin C/collagen supplements, it will be important to discuss treatments like tretinoin and perhaps anti-oxidant supplements.
I love the thought that we can do things to preserve collagen. Can't wait to learn how!
Yes!! and many are just simple changes 🥰
I have been smoking weed the last 5 years. It has really aged my skin. I can reverse this?
Iam going to drink water, allready took off my makeup 😊... i do it anyways but I just love to hear you and get excited and do everything while you speak. Thank you for a good and lovely video. I shared it with my sister. ❤❤❤❤
I didnt know that high blood sugar could damage the skin. Thanks for the info :)
Do you have a link about that topic?
I LOVE your infos! ❤But careful, in University we just learned, that plant based milk is even more (or equal) inflammatory because of vegetable oils high in PUFAs (poly unsaturated fats) which contain arachidonic acid and produce prostaglandins. Which is why arachidonic acid should also be avoided when somebody has an inflammitory condition such as rheumatism. It also causes dark spots on the skin and is the reason our eyes and liver get worse as we age. I would recommend to avoid PUFAs and instead eat oils such as olive oil, fresh salmon (omega-3-supplements have been found to be carinogenic).
Can we go in the sun before 9 am without sunscreen?
I can’t wait for part2!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️please recommend collagen building supplement brands you use in the video 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Agree. as I do take collagen supplements, I do not want to continue if it does not help.
I Need some advice on which laser treatments are safe for dark skin.
I’m 48 and never took of my oily skin until I was 40 as I always had great skin but I got age spots and hyperpigmentation on my skin but my skin is very elastic as a doctor removing a cherry angioma on my forehead told me recently. My wound healed in a matter of days and the stitches came off just with a wipe. 🍀🍀🍀
So glad to hear ❤️
Do we have to be worried about laser hair removal devices melting fat pads or not?
Can you make a video on self tanners and if they Age you and also how to use them when you include retinol vitamin c etc in skincare routine
Can you also make a more in depth video about “clean” makeup and brands that won’t damage your skin?? ❤
Yes, I am very interested in these topics as well.
your skin is the biggest organ on your body…do you really think slathering chemicals all over your entire body every week is good for it? Buy yourself a makeup/bronzer. And embrace your natural skin color. ❤
I’d love to hear Stefani’s take as well. I’m not a dermatologist so don’t have an in depth background on how self tanners affect the skin. However, taking into account “EWG”s website that has a tool that grades the cleanliness of products has been helpful. It may showcase what ingredients in self tanner are considered toxic.
What about matcha green tea? I heard there is more caffeine in that than green tea. Is this still ok and beneficial for skin?
It is beneficial for the skin and is high in polyphenols :)
If you want to create more collagen you can also try micro needling but you'll have to keep your face and neck out of the sun 100% to maintain the results
I def think stress caused some aging in the last year. Became extremely depressed this last year and having breakouts and from just being sad seemed like my face started some sag in the mid face. My forehead is ok and neck is still tight and not really much aging there. Just cheek lines deeper and mouth is turning down at corners. I’m 47 and people think I’m 15 years younger regularly. Don’t smoke, drink, tan, or eat a lot processed food. I have never been overweight. I think maybe it’s hormones too that could be causing the issues. Going to look into that.
What do you think about visia skin age scans? Do you think they are accurate? It said I have less sun damage than 70% of others scanned. I don’t have many sun spots or pigmentation.
Thanks for these videos. I love that your are very honest about your procedures and what you do to maintain great skin and beauty.
The visia scan detects photoamage but only to a certain extent and it is not full thickness (only superficial). I never really use them for that reason.
Sorry to hear about your sadness. God is near to the brokenhearted. ✝️❤🕊️
such a doll 🩷 thank you for this valuable information! looking forward to part two 😊
You're so welcome! 😘😘
Can you do a video on facial lymphatic massage? Does it help with skin anti-aging.
Hmmm.. Living for good skin or living to live…🤔 In all seriousness though- limiting all of the aforementioned foods & substances has indeed massively improved my skin. Number one is green drinks!! 🤩
Thank you for being SO SCIENTIFIC!!!!!!!!!!! I love it!!!!!!
🥰🥰🥰
Great information. Thank you!
Does weightlifting and exercise promote collagen production? Thanks :)
It actually can yes!
Thank you very much for your good genuine information. I am feeling more supported listening to your information.
Thank you for all this information. I wish I knew this when I was younger but I pass all information on to my daughter and granddaughter. I encourage them to watch your channel. I can’t wait for part two!
You are so welcome!
Thanks for this i had gotten a blue light therapy for my acne little did i know it was breaking my collagen will not use it again! Bad thing it cost me like $400!
Can´t wait for part 2!
Thank you for the education from a 46 yr old soon to be 47 and I am scareddddd!
I’m right alongside you sis ❤️❤️🫶🏼🫶🏼
My oldest daughter is your age. She lives her life and does not obsess over aging. I never thought about aging at your age. I guess I had my kids raised and had other things more important to dwell on. I was living my best life, enjoying 3 granddaughters at that age, enjoying traveling with my husband. Now that I am 67, though I do take care of myself, the most important thing I focus on is caring for my health so I can enjoy my now 6 granddaughters and one great-granddaughter and to live independently for as long as I can. Do the best you can. You're a beautiful girl. Life is short!
Thank you for taking the time to put out this valuable education
and information for the public. ❤
You are so welcome 🙏🏼 ❤️
Hi Stefani! First off, I want to shout you out for your amazing content, and clear throughput of all the hard work and wisdom you’ve cultivated to share with us. Thank you thank you sister!
I was curious, on the topic of “smoking” here in the US cigarettes, and tobacco are common, but so is marijuana. So when you were covering that topic - are you speaking to both?
My assumption was that being in the presence of smoke itself is a created irritant for the skin and causes collagen breakdown. I recently learned both cigarette and marinuana smokers have higher levels of heavy metals as well.
Cheers to you and your beautiful work! 🎉❤
Hi ❤ can you advice me what to ask my thermage provider on my first appointment. I live in the Netherlands Amsterdam. I really want to get it done but I’m afraid of loosing face fat as I’m 57 😢 really appreciate your advice 🙏
How can you re build collegian in your eyes
Doc I love the sun touching my skin 😂 that’s my only drug but I do wear sunscreen and I love coffee smell and taste in the AMs. I’m vegan for health for 10 +yrs but I noticed I have a slow healing and not a good elasticity in my skin. 😢😢😢 never done any lasers but bio stimulators. Not very lucky. Should I do PRP ?
I went to get a facial (the appointment was a gift from a family member). The lady put a warm probe on my face, she told me she was using it instead of steam. When I asked for the device's name, she told me she didn't remember because she had a lot of equipment. It felt nice but now I'm worried it may cause damage, have y'all heard of any like this? Toward the end of the facial she put on another probe and told me it was radiofrequency, she told me that the temperature was 80 degrees. Again, no name for the device was provided... should I worry? Any ideas of what these devices could be?
Anyone touching you face should be able to not only tell you the name of the device but the the mechanism of action and its effect on the skin
Wow this video was SO comprehensive! Thank you so much Stefani!
Thank you for this great series. You mention that oil is not good for the skin, what about these plant oils that are deemed to be good for the face, like castor oil (lots of hype on UA-cam now), rosehip and others?
Just did a video on this yesterday and just go into detail on why I am not a fan of oil on the face. There’s lots of info in that video for your question 🩷
TY Dr. Stefani! So glad I do most of this already, the only one I was surprised by was skim milk (I allow myself 1x coffee a day). Looking forward to next week’s vid! Could you also pls comment on diets? (Eg vegan, veggo, pescetarian, carnivore), I’m a pescetarian (seafood, but no meat & low dairy for those who don’t know) & I often get asked if that’s why I look younger. Thanks ❤
Drink Whole grass fed organic milk for the K2 benefits with your coffee. It's also a good excuse to add Brie Cheese into your diet.
How do we protect the skin from blue lights? By the regular sunscreen? If so, we need to wear sunscreen all day long. It’s ok to sleep wearing sunscreen ?
Is candle light safest?
I'm a beauty therapist in the UK. Do you have any recommendations for a proffesional antiaging and nutrition couse to help my clients. I thought I knew my stuff but obviously not as up to date as you're advice.
should I clean my face with cleanser after working out ? I'm worried this might break my skin barrier
Does using Night Shift on the iPhone remove the blue light?
About uv protection I find all creams very oily and I have oily skin, so it's a nightmare to put on a sun screen every day. So what I found is a foundation with uv protection. What I use now is spf25. Do you think that's good protection? Is it as effective as a sun protection in a face cream?
Thank you for this fantastic educative video. I'm sure you mentioned it in many other videos, but poor sleep quality and duration can also increase cortisol levels. Blessings from Germany. 💛🙏
Can gentleman use ladies skin care products to look after their skin ? So many more skin care products available for Women here in the UK than what there is for men.
Sugar can really deplete Collagen. I had to tone done on eating too much sugar. My skin is much tighter now but it took a minute(meaning a while🤣) to see results but now I look way more youthful.🤗 👍
How
Did you tighten it? Thanks 🙏
@victorias8592 I've tried so many facial serums ...none worked. Wasted so much money. My fault. Ok...I cut back on eating too much sugar. I just eat natural sugar from fruits but still not too much. One day I went too low on sugar and I was weak, dizzy and light headed at work. Our blood needs a certain amount of Glucous not fructose. But I was eating too little amount of sugar. I occasionally add monk fruit or Stevia sugar with certain natural drinks and also when I cook my Salmon. So I had to start eating enough good sugar(25g) to not lower too much collagen by eating too much sugar🤣. Ok...I been washing my face with Kojic Acid soap and my skin looks so firm and nice than before. I keep it on my face for maximum 60 seconds. I wash it off and put on Vit C serum then moisturizer at night. Morning after washing face with Kojic acid soap then Vit C then add SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen protection in the morning. I also exfoliate with No7 exfoliater twice a week. All that works for me. No body believes my age👍
@@micheboohawaii9430 thank you! X
I’ve been goth on and off most of my life, I really don’t like going out during the day/warm weather, and I can promise you being in my early 30s I look a lot younger than most of my friends that loved sunbathing and tanning… I don’t have a crazy skin care routine. I don’t even wash my face every day…. I don’t have the healthiest lifestyle but I try… it’s about balance and moderation. Not some military regime. So many of y’all in the comments I just grasping at straws like get a grip. 😂
Thanks you for sharing this information Dr....you're wonderful.
I need to rethink my method of snacks to combat stress. Though I thought popcorn was healthy as it has antioxidants. As for coffee, I drink so much then I wonder why i have so much anxiety.
can someone please summerize?
Thank you Dr. what a wonderful information! I appreciate very much! I congratulate you for your knowledge and your disposition to share with us!
Thank you! Thank you!
One of the MAIN reasons I’m plant based is bc my diet is not just about food it’s about principles & philosophy
food is fuel 100%
since i am eating plant based i literally never smell bad my disgestion is beyond good lol and i can eat as much as i care without gaining weight
Eating plant based made me AGE at the age of 16. Now 24 I look plumper than ever eating mostly animal products
Help me to understand how the use of herbicides, fungicides, pesticides in plants is better for health and the planet?? I don’t see as many bees and butterflies as I used to see growing up, and I don’t think that is because humans are eating them 🤔
@@u.n258I don’t think “looking plumper than ever” is something to boast. It’s actually a sign that your body is inflamed and getting too much fat. If you were only 16 when you went plant based/ vegan then you likely just jumped right into it without doing enough research first (as teenagers do) which caused you to not get the right amounts of certain nutrients.
Coffee polyphenols are also metabolically protective, so I am skeptical of the idea that caffeine in coffee is bad for your skin but caffeine in green tea isn't. I'm sure that whole bean coffee that isn't super-dark roasted has more polyphenols than heavily-processed, pre-ground coffee, or coffee that is super-dark. what's your understanding of the action of polyphenols in coffee?
I actually published an article on in medical school. Polyphenols in coffee are chemoprotective against mutations and free radicals in the skin.
Great question
Thank you for this deep dive into collagen! I love the scientific explanations that explain what influences collagen production and degradation. I always look forward to your super informative videos and will definitely be tuning in next week!
Thank you so much!!! Part two will be interesting too!! Thanks for watching!!
i have a genetic condition and my body produces execive amounts of collagen. sure i have no lines on my face but my joints... every joint in my body is in trouble and i have pain i cant drescribe
😢😢
Advice for Vit C supplements please!! I was taking Vit c and it caused diarrhoea. I had no idea it could upset the digestive system. I never took on an empty stomach either. Thank you
What effect does red light have on skin. Its supposedly good for you for many things, but what about our skin?
Thanx
Im very gulity of not disciplinly wearing my sunscreen glad this was in my recommendation feed 😅
Should we wear sunscreen inddors since blue light contributes to degrade collagen?
And do air purifiers clear indoor air of collagen damaging pollutants?
Also I wish you'd elaborate on which ingredients in skincare damage collagen over time. I'm guessing that anything irritating falls in this category though.
Yes we should wear sunscreen indoors ☀️ #antiaging #skincare #sunscreen
This whole list can seem overwhelming/excessive, but I'm not taking it as a suggestion to worry over ALL of it. Rather, it's more of a "Here's the landscape. Make whatever informed decisions are best for you." Know about the major degradation vectors and choose ones that are easier or more palatable to address. For example, I'm not giving up coffee (it has plenty of compensatory benefits), but I will now be more mindful of how high-sugar foods might affect my skin or whether or not I have a second cocktail with dinner, etc.
Excess oil can create hyperplasia (those ugly bumps on the face) as the sebaceous glands get bigger!! Those bumps are hard to get rid of and come back! Correct doctor? Can a healthy diet help with this issue doctor?
May I ask how vaping THC harms collage? There are no combustion products and THC is not a vasoconstricter.
Thank you so much for all your info!!! I LOVE your Videos!!
Something I would love to ask a professional that I trust (you!) is.. do the jade rollers actually do anything for skin? Do they actually help products absorb better or is it just getting all over the jade part? Does the action of rolling it across your face do anything at all? Basically would it benefit me to start using one or not? What about gua sha? Thanks !! Xox
Thank you for this video. I truly appreciate you sharing this information. Looking forward to learning more! ❤
Doc, just wondering ..my mother which is 62 eats alot of brown rice with eggs and vegetables ..could brown rice break down collagen ?
Brown rice has low glycemic index and has good anti-oxidants and vitamins so she is good
Make sure she cooks the rice with either olive oil,avocado oil or high quality butter not cheap inflammatory seed oils
Oh gosh, I have so many questions. Is the blue light therapy used to treat acne the same blue light emitted by our computers/cell phones and sunlight?
400-490mn is the blue light from our devices vs blue light to treat acne is a narrower range from 405-420nm but essentially yes
@@DrStefaniKappel Thank you for the content and responses! Is the narrower range less damaging to the skin or it's risk patients take while treating acne?
You look 20 it’s mind blowing.
Thank you so much! So happy to get this information at a young age
Glad it was helpful! Starting young is such an advantage 😘
You’re just amazingly smart and cute! Having no bias, just facts! Love it❤ I’ve already cut off or greatly reduced more than a half of the habits you’ve mentioned and happy with it 😊gonna keep up with this piece of information
If we are curious what the biological age of our skin actually is where would we go to find that out?
What about those studies that say that wine can reverse aging? Does the antioxidants from the fermented grapes negate/overpower the negative effects of alcohol?
Thank you very much for your clear and honest review. And yes I can listen to you all day long. 😍🥰💕💕💕💕💕🙏
so crazy how my face has aged so much in the past two years, doing everything, nothings helping ( havent done surgery)
Thank U Dr Kappel, This, and All your content really informs and educates in such a lovely manner! Today's episode you created, you mentioned to not confuse having oily skin as a positive when I always was a little confused bc I realized excess sebum is not something ANYONE wants.. but we lose lipids as we age....but I hypothetically I used 2 think 🤔 if I had 2 choose a skin type I'd choose "oily skin" bc I have noticed many women with oily skin and no excess serum do not age at accelerated rate but I feel like an idiot as I'd get excited over any oil I get on my dry skin at almost age 40! I hope that makes sense! I take my words back NOW that I understand how to decipher skincare knowledge and research that is credibky sourced bc pores don't want something weighing them down unless it's an oil cleanser which I do use to remove make-up and know oily skin types that do as well but also go over with a cleanser and other products to absorb and Mattify! Thank for explaining so eloquently the importance of SPF! I really admire what U do! Thank U! ❤❤❤
You got it and glad it makes more sense!!!❤❤❤
