LIGHT, MITOCHONDRIA & SKIN HEALTH - LECTURE PK01: This lecture will delve into the significant impact of light signaling and circadian biology on skin vitality. Pia will explore the symbiotic relationships between light exposure and mitochondrial function, uncovering the mechanisms that affect energy, inflammation, hormones, and cellular growth. Equipped with this knowledge, you can enhance your esthetic practice by understanding that nurturing the fundamental elements of circadian biology is essential for unlocking the full potential of skin, as well as promoting overall mind and body health and rejuvenation. In this lecture, you will discover the profound and often overlooked impact of light signaling and circadian biology on skin and systemic vitality. Understanding how mitochondria respond to light and circadian cues can transform skincare regimens, improving cellular energy production for better skin tone, texture, and overall vitality. Insights into circadian rhythms can guide strategies to alleviate inflammatory skin conditions, leading to healthier, less reactive skin. Disruption of circadian rhythms can result in hormonal imbalances, affecting skin health. By learning how light exposure and circadian rhythms influence hormone production, you can support hormonal balance and address skin issues such as acne and premature aging. Optimize cellular repair and renewal by aligning lifestyle practices with natural light-dark cycles, promoting brighter, more youthful skin.
