Anti Aging 101

What does it really take to keep your skin healthy as you age? On this episode of Black Health Unlocked, Dr. Ian Smith sits down with dermatologist Dr. Angela Lamb to separate anti-aging science from skincare hype. They explore what actually happens to our skin as we get older, why collagen matters, and how everyday choices—from sun exposure and smoking to exercise and nutrition—can accelerate or slow the aging process. Dr. Lamb breaks down the role of antioxidants, moisturizers, and other skincare products, including what to look for before spending your money. She and Dr. Ian also discuss in-office treatments and injectables, how diet affects the health and appearance of your skin, and why prevention may be the most powerful anti-aging strategy of all. Whether you're building your first skincare routine or wondering which treatments are actually worth considering, this conversation offers practical, science-based guidance for taking care of the skin you're in—at every age. Because healthy aging isn't about stopping the clock. It's about taking better care of yourself while it's ticking.
