"We Don't Need Anti-Aging Content Before the Age of 35" - Who Made That Up? Episode 5
“There’s no need for anti-aging products before age 35.” “Anti-aging care should start after 30-35.”
So…
Who made this up?
In this episode, we’re talking about one of the most common misconceptions about anti-aging care. Because the truth is: the aging process starts much earlier than we think.
I’m Dr. Cansu Şahin, a dermatologist.
And in this episode, I’m explaining the skin’s aging process scientifically.
Important facts you should know:
🔹 Collagen loss begins at age 25.
After age 25, we lose approximately 1% of our collagen each year.
🔹 The first visible signs of aging usually appear in your early 30s.
Fine lines, loss of elasticity, and the first changes in the skin are noticed during this period.
🔹 However, some factors can accelerate this process:
• intense sun exposure
• use of tanning beds
• smoking
• poor diet
• insufficient sleep
• genetic factors
So what is the most powerful anti-aging ingredient?
The answer is much simpler than you think:
☀️ Sunscreen.
Approximately 80% of skin aging is due to photoaging caused by sun exposure. Therefore, the habit of sun protection should actually be acquired from childhood.

but a combination of sun protection, the right ingredients, and the right habits.
We're talking about scientific facts, not urban legends.
