One of the biggest misconceptions in beauty is that innovation and newness are the same thing.

The industry launches thousands of products every year. New ingredients dominate social media feeds. New brands appear almost daily. But according to beau... more

One of the most interesting questions in beauty right now isn’t which ingredient is trending — it’s who decides what becomes a trend in the first place.

One of modern medicine’s greatest strengths is its ability to intervene. We can replace joints, bypass blocked arteries, remove tumors, resurface skin, and perform procedures that would have seemed impossible just a generation ago.

  • Great listen!

    I love how CARMINE breaks down the science in an action based plan and gives me direction on what to use. The skin care world is very confusing and I really enjoy this podcast and I’m learning so much.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Skincarma Pod | Ep. 79: When the Surgeon Became the Patient: Healing from the Inside Out with Dr. Kami Parsa
Q: What is the key turning point that changed your approach to healing and skincare?
A finger mallet injury during play that forced a six-week healing process led me to research nutrition and recovery protocols; applying ICU-style nutrition to surgical care and then publishing a book on Heal and a recovery-focused supplement line, Mendora, reframed how I view healing and skin health.
The Skincarma Pod | Ep. 79: When the Surgeon Became the Patient: Healing from the Inside Out with Dr. Kami Parsa
Q: What did you originally think you were going to do, and how did you ultimately find your way into oculoplastic surgery?
I planned to be a pilot and studied aeronautical engineering, but a biology class and mentorship shifted my path toward medicine. After exploring ophthalmology through happy mentors and micro-surgery, I ended up specializing in oculofacial plastic surgery, and later integrated nutrition and healing into surgical recovery.
The Skincarma Pod | Ep. 28: Questions I’ve Always Wanted to Ask a Derm with Board Certified Dermatologist Dr. Jen Haley
Q: What's the one step in your own skincare routine that you absolutely never skip even on your busiest day?
Carmine emphasizes daily sunscreen usage, ideally a chemical-free option with zinc oxide, and a tinted sunscreen to address pigmentation and light exposure even indoors.
The Skincarma Pod | Ep. 29: From Survival to Sustainability, Leading the Clean Beauty Revolution with Indie Lee, Founder of Indie Lee Skincare; “I realized I was just a passenger in my own life.”
Q: What makes your community's engagement unique and effective?
Active participation, transparent sharing of experiences, willingness to be vulnerable about missteps, and direct access through blog posts, events, and personal interactions with the brand and founder.
