From Damage to Glow: The Skin Sobering Revolution and Benefits With Dr. Erin Yuet Tjam

Today I have Dr. Erin Yuet Tjam the author of Skin Sobering: 99% of Products Age and Harm Your Skin.

For over 35 years, Erin read, researched, and experimented about anything she could find on skin. Publishing a “skin-deep” book beats writing scientific articles that are lucky to get 50 readers. Erin would be happy if she could get all her kids and future grandkids to do skin sobering.

We talk about what is skin sobering (or skin fasting) and how you can get started, fixing your skin problems, and many more ways to take care of your skin without chemicals.

We talk about:

02:00 - My reasoning for skin sobering or skin fasting

11:20 - What Skin Sobering means

12:30 - We don’t need chemicals for our skin

14:00 - What our skin is

17:00 - How to get started with the skin sobering method

19:00 - What pure soap is

21:00 - Skincare products are essentially makeup without color

30:00 - People are too fearful of the sun

32:00 - Less is more for your skin

34:30 - Nobody is richer than the beauty industry

39:00 - The 1st gateway drug is cleansers

41:00 - Fixing your skin problems
