Mindsip insights from this episode:
Beware of 'clean' beauty: natural ingredients can become harmful
Many 'clean' beauty products use natural ingredients that can degrade over time into harmful byproducts, making them potentially worse than products with safe, stable synthetic preservatives.
Utilize red light therapy to enhance peptide delivery to injured tissue
Applying red light therapy to an injured area after a subcutaneous injection of a healing peptide like BPC-157 can help draw the peptide to that specific tissue.
Utilize TIGOPEPUP4 peptide for enhanced collagen expression in skin
A very expensive and rare peptide called TIGOPEPUP4 can upregulate the expression of collagen genes in the skin and is found in the YoungGoose Hyperbaric Mask.
Avoid face dunking; prioritize full-body cold exposure for systemic benefits
Dunking your face in ice water provides only temporary aesthetic effects and cannot replace deliberate, full-body cold exposure for systemic benefits like releasing cold shock proteins.
Utilize Ectoin from tardigrades for skin protection against UV and EMF
A protein called Ectoin, found in tardigrades, creates a protective water shell around skin cells to shield them from UV, blue light, and EMF, with effects lasting up to 11 days after application.
Avoid topical ascorbic acid to prevent premature aging
Topical ascorbic acid, a common form of Vitamin C in skincare, is one of the worst products for your skin as it can drive premature aging through a process called ferroptosis.
Choose a dermapen for effective collagen stimulation
A dermapen is superior to a derma roller for stimulating collagen because its needles penetrate at a precise 90-degree angle, causing less unnecessary trauma to the skin.
Avoid building sun callus to enhance vitamin D production
Building a 'sun callus' is counterproductive because the increased melanin that provides minimal protection also significantly reduces your skin's ability to produce beneficial vitamin D from sun exposure.
Beware of C60 supplement's skin photosensitizing effects
The popular anti-aging supplement C60 (Carbon 60) can photosensitize your skin, making you more susceptible to sunburn.
