How to Improve and Protect Your Skin with Dr. Teo Solomani

Dr. Teo Solomani, a double board-certified dermatologist and dermatologic surgeon, joins the podcast to discuss all aspects of skin health, appearance, and protection. Key points from the discussion include:

• The skin is the largest organ in the body and regenerates every 28 days
• Stress can have both immediate and long-term negative effects on skin health and appearance
• Sun exposure has both benefits and risks for skin health. Some sun exposure is beneficial, but excessive exposure can lead to premature aging and skin cancer
• Mineral-based sunscreens (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) are generally safer and more effective than chemical sunscreens
• Retinoids are highly effective for improving skin health and appearance, and can help prevent skin cancer
• Diet and nutrition play an important role in skin health. An anti-inflammatory, high-protein diet is best for skin
• Common skin conditions like acne, psoriasis, eczema, and rosacea are discussed, including causes and treatments
• Regular skin cancer screenings are important, especially for those with risk factors
• New treatments like laser resurfacing can improve skin health and appearance while reducing skin cancer risk
• Proper skincare doesn't have to be expensive - simple, gentle products are often best

Dr. Solomani emphasizes the importance of understanding your individual skin type and needs when developing a skincare routine. He recommends seeing a dermatologist for personalized advice and regular skin cancer screenings.
