83. Summer Skin Survival Guide: What You Need To Know with Dr. Lisa Kellett

Your sunscreen is probably not working as well as you think it is. And that sun damage you've been accumulating? There is actually a lot you can do about it.Canada's leading dermatologist Dr. Lisa Kellett is back on Aging Powerfully — and this time we are talking spring and summer skin. Everything you need to know before the heat hits, and everything you can do if the damage is already done.In this episode we cover how the skin actually changes when the seasons shift — and why that shift is more significant for women in perimenopause and menopause than most of us realize. We get into the sunscreen conversation properly: SPF numbers, mineral versus chemical, how much we should actually be applying versus how much most of us use, and the spots we consistently miss. We talk about building a spring and summer routine that works — retinol, Vitamin C, exfoliants, and what to do with them when the sun gets intense.Dr. Kellett walks us through what pollution and years of sun exposure are quietly doing to our skin, how to recognize when something needs medical attention, and what treatments are genuinely worth investing in at 40-plus — from lasers and microneedling to radiofrequency, chemical peels, and injectables. We also talk about what lifestyle factors — sleep, stress, alcohol, diet — are showing up on your face whether you like it or not.This is the episode you save, share with your friends, and listen to before you buy another SPF product.About Dr. Lisa KellettDr. Lisa Kellett is a board-certified dermatologist in both Canada and the United States, a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of Canada, and one of the most trusted voices in Canadian dermatology.
