Ep. 155 On today’s episode of Pursuit of Wellness, I sit down with Dr. Teo Soleymani to dive into the complex world of skin health, aging, and cancer prevention. We unpack the misconceptions about skin cancer, the role of our skin in reflecting internal health, and the surprising effects of diet and lifestyle on skin quality. Dr. Soleymani shares invaluable advice on sun exposure, the pros and cons of different sunscreens, and the impact of products like Melanotan and retinoids on skin health. We also explore how common issues like acne and premature aging relate to factors like hormone mimickers and pore-clogging ingredients. Whether you’re looking to protect your skin or decode your acne journey, this episode is packed with essential tips and insights on taking care of your skin for life. Leave Me a Message - click here!
