Summary
In this insightful episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta sits down with board-certified dermatologist, author, and longevity advocate Dr. Doris Day to unpack what it really means to age beautifully — inside and out. With decades of experience bridging medical reporting and clinical practice, Dr. Day shares why skin is so much more than what we see in the mirror: it’s a reflection of our total health and vitality.
Dr. Day explains why lasting beauty begins with good habits — quality sleep, smart nutrition, stress balance, and mindful movement — before any injectable or skincare product ever touches our face. She dives into why injectables like Botox work best when paired with a careful, customized approach that considers bone structure, muscle dynamics, and skin condition. Her biggest rule? Results should always look natural and authentic, never frozen.
The conversation also explores today’s hottest trends — from the reality of “Ozempic face” and rapid weight loss to K-beauty’s multi-treatment craze — and how to protect skin from unintended consequences. Dr. Day breaks down how smart planning, collagen support, and thoughtful biostimulatory treatments can help preserve facial structure during big changes.
She also gives us a glimpse of her upcoming longevity skincare project focused on fibroblast health and stem cell protection — the next frontier for keeping skin resilient as we age. If you want to understand the science behind aging gracefully and make better choices for your skin, this is one episode you don’t want to miss. Tune in and rethink what true healthy beauty really means.

| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, welcome back to Skin Anarchy. I have such a special guest with us today. She is truly, truly an expert in the field of dermatology and everything related to aesthetics. You know, she's probably the most well-qualified dermatologist and medical professional in the space that I know of, personally. She is the author of multiple best-selling books on Amazon, and I'm sure a lot of you have seen her social media presence, |
| 0:25.7 | and so many experts refer to her and come to her for her guidance in dermatology and understanding |
| 0:30.7 | what it means to truly have beautiful, healthy skin, and what skin health really means. So without |
| 0:35.4 | further ado, please welcome Dr. Doris Day. Welcome |
| 0:38.0 | Dr. Day. I'm so honored to host you and to learn from me today. Thanks for having me today. |
| 0:42.4 | I'm so excited to be on with you. Yeah, I'm really excited to kind of, you know, dive in and really ask |
| 0:48.0 | you so many questions that I have about obviously dermatology and aesthetics, but also longevity. |
| 0:54.3 | You know, it's like so buzzy right now and everyone's talking about it. |
| 0:57.3 | But I'd want to learn more about you. |
| 0:59.4 | What made you go into dermatology? |
| 1:01.5 | That's a great question. |
| 1:03.0 | I kind of always liked dermatology because when I was a medical reporter, |
| 1:07.6 | so after college, I did all my pre-med courses. |
| 1:14.3 | And then I had a gap year. So I went to this journalism school that focused on medical writing, medical reporting. And that was in the 80s. |
| 1:21.7 | And HIV was the thing in the 80s. It was the disease du jour, and it was just coming up, and I call it the |
| 1:28.4 | disease de jour. It was the tragedy of the time, really. And so a lot of the findings in HIV at the |
| 1:34.6 | time was something called capacy sarcoma, which are these purple patches. It's a cancer that occurs |
| 1:39.6 | in the skin, and typically what happened in older Mediterranean men, but now it was happening to all these young |
| 1:45.4 | gay men. And so I covered a lot of the meetings. So I learned about dermatology because so much |
| 1:50.8 | of what I covered was around dermatology. So when I went to medical school, I already had an |
| 1:55.7 | awareness of dermatology. And then even after medical school, I did internal medicine. We all do |
| 2:00.6 | internal medicine, but I did |
