Most of us think skin aging is about wrinkles. But your skin is an organ of longevity, and the cells breaking down inside it are shaping your whole-body health.

Dr. Carolina Reis Oliveira, stem cell scientist and CEO of OneSkin, to reframe skin as an organ of longevity. We talked about how "zombie" senescent cells quietly accumulate starting in our 20s, how estrogen loss accelerates collagen breakdown, and the decade of research behind OS-01, the peptide her team identified to lower the skin's biological age.

This is about prevention, not vanity. It's about understanding what your skin is telling you and partnering with your biology early, so you can age with power from the inside out.

What we explore:

- Why skin aging begins in your 20s, long before you see it.

- How senescent "zombie" cells stop dividing and spread inflammation.

- Why senescent cells travel to your joints and heart, driving disease.
