The Science of Skin Longevity: Botanicals, Fascia & Cellular Health

What if skincare could do more than temporarily improve the surface of your skin? In this episode of the Ageless and Timeless Podcast host Michele Hughes welcomes husband-and-wife entrepreneurs Natalie Novak and Ron Webb, founders of KPS— Kindness Powered Skincare. Together, they share how Natalie’s background as an organic farmer and Ron’s experience in aerospace engineering, plant research, and animal wound care inspired an unconventional approach to skin health. Natalie and Ron explain how KPS creates its own proprietary botanical extracts in itsn Michigan laboratory, combining clean, carefully selected ingredients with a scientific focus on bioavailability and efficacy. They discuss their belief that the skin reflects what is happening throughout the body and explore the connections among skin health, cellular signaling, hydration, collagen production, the microbiome, fascia, lymphatic flow, inflammation, and the nervous system. The conversation also explores KPS’s Renew Body Sculptor and the company’s approach to relaxing fascia, supporting lymphatic movement, improving the appearance of cellulite, and helping the body move from a state of stress toward relaxation. Natalie and Ron discuss how their products are being incorporated into spas and medical practices, including protocols designed to support people experiencing acne, rosacea, eczema, skin laxity, chronic discomfort, and changes associated with significant weight loss. Natalie shares KPS’s recommended at-home skincare routine, beginning with its triple cleansing method and progressing through nourishment and targeted treatment. For anyone wanting to begin with just one product, the founders recommend the signature Renew Face Cream. Throughout the episode, Natalie and Ron emphasize that healthy aging requires more than skincare alone. Nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress management, detoxification, and other foundational lifestyle practices all contribute to healthier, more resilient skin. The couple also shares the heart behind KPS: a commitment to giving back, supporting women undergoing oncology treatments, and ultimately making advanced skincare and wellness solutions more accessible to people who may not otherwise be able to afford them.
