Beyond Topicals: The Science of Skin Longevity ft. JUNG+ founder Simon Sakhai

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, host Dr. Ekta is joined by Simon Sakhai, founder of Jung+ Longevity, to explore a revolutionary approach to skin health. Departing from traditional anti-aging promises, Simon dives into the science of longevity and how understanding biological aging can reshape the way we care for our skin. Simon’s journey began in sleep science but quickly evolved after learning about the “hallmarks of aging,” the core biological mechanisms driving age-related decline. These hallmarks—such as chronic inflammation, senescent cells, and NAD decline—have profound implications for skin health, influencing everything from wrinkles to systemic aging. The discussion highlights why many current skincare solutions fall short. While traditional topicals address surface issues, the deeper drivers of aging remain untouched. Simon advocates for an inside-out approach, combining lifestyle changes and supplements to support cellular health. Key strategies include clearing senescent cells with compounds like spermidine, restoring NAD levels with niacinamide, and reducing inflammation with targeted anti-inflammatory nutrients. Simon emphasizes that skin is more than just an outer layer—it’s a gateway to overall health. Environmental stressors like UV rays and pollutants create damage that contributes to aging throughout the body. By addressing these root causes, Jung+ Longevity’s innovative solutions offer more than temporary improvements; they aim to restore skin’s regenerative potential and slow systemic aging. This episode offers a glimpse into the future of skincare, where science and longevity principles converge to create lasting, meaningful results.
