Doctor’s Guide to Healthy Fats for Your Skin

Dr. Simran Sethi — Wed, 14 Feb 2024 05:00:00 -0400

We often consider fats to be dangerous for our physical health. However, there are healthy fats that, when used appropriately, can positively impact the health and appearance of our skin!

In this episode, host Dr. Sethi discusses how people can apply healthy fats within their dietary habits and topical skincare routines to boost the health and radiance of their skin. She teaches listeners about the fats that are good for the skin when included in our diet or applied directly to the skin. Incorporating lipids within our skincare in the form of healthy skin oils can penetrate the skin’s surface and deliver nourishment deep within its layers. At the same time, healthy dietary fats like unsaturated fats can enable our bodies to enhance our skin’s health. Of course, not all fats are healthy, and this episode will help you to choose the right fats to nourish and replenish your skin!

As the founder of RenewMD Beauty Medical Spas and a woman of color, Dr. Sethi is dedicated to spreading science-backed skincare information on The Skin Report. Listen to this episode to learn more about healthy fats to nourish your skin!

Subcutaneous Fat – The Secret to Youthful Skin

Dr. Simran Sethi — Wed, 07 Feb 2024 05:00:00 -0400

Our societal beauty standards typically uplift leaner bodies. But when it comes to our skin, maintaining subcutaneous body fat is crucial to supporting a youthful appearance.

In this episode, host Dr. Sethi discusses the role of subcutaneous fat and how it projects the skin and smoothes wrinkles for a youthful appearance. She explains how subcutaneous fat can diminish naturally through processes like aging and weight loss – and how people can restore this volume even after it is lost. Through methods like Sculptra injections, facial fillers, and fat transfer procedures, people can help restore fat underneath the skin. The episode covers each of these options and explains how they function to provide volume to the face and even other areas of the body.

Dr. Simran Sethi — Wed, 24 Jan 2024 05:00:00 -0400

Losing weight is challenging enough on its own, but slimming down in some areas of the body can be trickier than others. Fortunately, body sculpting procedures may be successful in burning off fat deposits in areas resistant to traditional weight loss methods.

The Skin Report is a podcast created to educate listeners on methods to improve skin health for people of all ethnicities and ages.

Stretch Mark Skincare

Dr. Simran Sethi — Wed, 08 Feb 2023 00:15:00 -0400

Stretch marks are a skin condition commonly experienced during pregnancy. However, it may surprise you that there are different causes of stretch marks, as stretch marks can occur for many reasons other than pregnancy. Of course, many people and beauty companies swear by stretch mark treatments that can "erase" stretch marks. But are these claims too good to be true?

The Skin Report is a podcast created to educate listeners on methods to improve skin health for people of all ethnicities and ages. On this episode, host Dr. Sethi educates listeners on why stretch marks occur, the risk factors for developing stretch marks, and the different types of stretch marks.

Finally, Dr. Sethi answers a listener's question about the different kinds of skin acids, what they do, and when to use them in a skincare routine.

RenewMD — Wed, 28 Sep 2022 00:15:00 -0400

As discussed in prior episodes, the skincare industry has not appropriately addressed the skin concerns of all races and often excludes people of color from skin care studies.

The Skincare Industry: What’s Not Working

RenewMD — Wed, 14 Sep 2022 00:15:00 -0400

The beauty industry is a vast market, generating billions of dollars yearly from customers worldwide. The skincare industry is a large part of this, so why is it so difficult for people of color to find skincare products formulated for their skin needs?

Defining People of Color

RenewMD — Wed, 07 Sep 2022 00:15:00 -0400

Defining a “person of color” can be challenging. Everyone has different experiences regarding their race and ethnicity, and all experiences are valid. Unfortunately, there is a harmful history behind assigning attributes to one particular group, though we commonly think of “people of color” as those with more pigmented skin tones. Still, there is such a great variation in pigmentation among people from every ethnicity and race, which further adds to the confusion behind this term. So, how do we define a “person of color”?

The Skin Report is a podcast created to educate listeners on methods to improve skin health for people of all ethnicities and ages. On this episode, host Dr. Sethi discusses the term “people of color” and how it relates to the science behind our skin, genes, and environments. People of color generally possess a greater presence of melanin, which is vital in protecting the skin. Dr. Sethi explains the role of melanin in our skin, how the Fitzpatrick Scale is used in clinical dermatology, and how the skincare industry has historically promoted unhealthy practices that work against melanin production. Finally, she educates listeners on how people of color can navigate skin cycling to work with their melanin, not against it.
