Our first listener questions episode in AGES! Sandy and Chan take their first-ever live listener question, and it’s about the horrors of teen acne, and the way some simply dismiss what can turn into a life-changing problem. A question by voice memo from Nancy inquires about post-menopausal acne. “Plumpuffs” from Instagram seeks recommendations for chemical exfoliators for women in their 40s. Via Instagram, X-Martin asks why skin reactions happen with products you’ve used in the past without problem. Plus: @bigdunkel wonders about the timing of transitioning babies from skincare products for infants. AND whether exercise is good for the skin!

(We love questions by voice memo—simply record them on your smartphone’s voice-recorder app and email the file to [email protected].)

In the baby skincare answer, Sandy references the commentary she wrote about Pediatric Dermatology. Here’s the link: Commentary on “‘Hypoallergenic’, ‘Sensitive Skin’, and ‘For Kids’: Has industry improved labelling standards when it comes to sunscreens?

The anti-aging exercise effect is described by Dr. Mark Tarnopolsky in the 2015 study, Exercise‐stimulated interleukin‐15 is controlled by AMPK and regulates skin metabolism and aging. And then the New York Times’ Well blog wrote up Tarnopolsky’s research based on a presentation he did at a scientific conference: Younger Skin Through Exercise.
