This week Tee is delighted to welcome Erin Yuet Tjam, PHD to the show for an in-depth conversation about the many myths that surround skincare routines, exfoliation, and moisturizing. Erin is a bicultural, bilingual health scientist and an adjunct professor whose work has been published in numerous peer-reviewed journals. Over the course of her career, Dr. Tjam has been awarded over $7.5 million in research grants. In this chat, Dr. Tjam discusses her journey from being a ‘product worshiper’ to advocating for the cessation of all skincare products due to their potential harm. She explains how most skincare products disrupt the skin’s natural processes, leading to long-term damage such as dryness, sensitivity, and premature Aging. Dr. Tjam emphasizes the importance of using water alone for cleansing and focusing on protecting the skin from environmental damage and maintaining a healthy Lifestyle. 

This episode challenges conventional skincare Wisdom and provides scientific insights and practical tips for achieving healthier skin naturally. Dr. Tjam passionately argues that our skin, being an excretory organ, is not designed to absorb the multitude of chemicals found in skincare products. Drawing parallels with dietary habits and the body’s natural processes, she explains how the overuse of products leads to a vicious cycle of dependency and damage. With a PhD in health studies and extensive research credentials, Dr. Tjam brings a wealth of knowledge, advocating for a return to basic, natural skincare routines. Tune in to learn about the ‘Skin Sobering’ method, the myths perpetuated by the beauty industry, and how you can support your skin’s health without the need for chemical-laden products.
