Well, hello, hello, guys. You're listening to Beauty Bites with Dr. Kay,

Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon.

And today on the podcast, I want to talk to you

all about the future of skin care. I recently went to the Octane meeting and this was the

aesthetic tech forum in Newport Beach. Octane was such a great meeting. There was a focus on all

things new cutting edge and up and coming. And let me tell you. Newport Beach Octane was such a great meeting. There was a focus on all things, new,

cutting edge, and up and coming. And let me tell you, the future is bright. One of the things

that I'm super excited to learn more about is bioadaptive skincare. And bioadaptive, what does that

exactly mean? That is skincare that focuses on optimizing the ability of your skin to adapt to environmental

stressors like UV radiation, pollution, fluctuating temperatures.

This is an emerging field and it just kind of merges nature's bioactive ingredients with really

cutting edge scientific research.

So I love this idea because I think coming back to a wellness approach where we're looking at

ingredients that are botanically derived is super important. This is going to support skin's

long-term health, resilience, and protection mechanisms.

So especially when we look at ingredients that are derived from extreme environments, these

bioadaptive skin care, it will really activate the skin's natural adaptive mechanisms as well.

Your skin is constantly exposed to stressors that contribute to oxidative damage,

inflammation, and premature aging. So prolonged exposure to UV radiation is probably the most

important thing we have to protect against. But now there is also pollution, harsh weather conditions.

In LA right now, there is smoke and ash and all this particulate matter.

And all of this pollution can really prematurely age you
