The Media Edit
STRAIGHT FROM THE SOURCE
Our goal with this newsletter is to sift through the endless stream of skincare information so you don’t have to. Every now and then, though, we like to point you directly to some of the voices and sources we rely on ourselves. Here are a few recent podcast and video episodes we think are worth your time.
HUBERMAN THE OPTIMIZER
While Andrew Huberman may be a god for over-optimization bros (we don’t do that around here), there are occasionally good nuggets in his podcast episodes that we can take to heart.
DR. IDRISS ON MEL ROBBINS
If you don’t know Mel Robbins yet, your wife, girlfriend, or mother certainly does. She’s the author of TikTok’s favourite self-help book, The Let Them Theory, and one of the biggest voices in motivational media right now.
The conversation is slightly tailored to women (think hormones, pigmentation, and menopause), but the fundamentals apply to everyone: sun protection, healthy aging, smart ingredient choices, and not overcomplicating your routine. It’s practical, myth-busting, and down-to-earth.
YOUTUBE'S FAVOURITE DERM-DUO
If podcasts aren't your thing and you're more of a visual learner, you're going to want to check out Doctorly on YouTube.
Run by licensed dermatologists Muneeb Shah and Daniel Sugai, their channel has built a huge following by translating clinical dermatology into clear and actionable advice.
A great place to start is their video “7 Life-Changing Skincare Habits You Need to Start NOW.” Much like Dr. Idriss, instead of pushing complicated routines, they focus on the fundamentals that actually move the needle: sunscreen, proper cleansing, protecting your skin barrier, and thinking long-term about skin health. Science-backed and easy to implement.
Allegedly, the duo have started a new podcast (because the world needs another podcasts). We haven't listened to it yet but if it's anything like their videos we're confident it's worth a listen.
