The Skin Talks—Literally
On the June 2 episode of JTBC’s health and wellness show ‘This Great Body’, the spotlight was on our body’s largest organ: the skin. Host Yewon kicked things off with a line that instantly struck a chord with viewers: “Your skin age is your real age—skin doesn’t lie.”
Zombie Cells and Collagen: A Plot Twist from Your Dermatologist
The episode tackled two powerhouse keywords: skin regeneration and zombie cells. Turns out, our skin constantly sheds and renews itself every 28 to 30 days. But here’s the catch—extended exposure to UV rays, especially in summer, weakens this regenerative cycle and speeds up photoaging. And no, that’s not a fancy filter—it’s real-life early aging caused by the sun.
One featured case revealed how skin aging went beyond wrinkles, connecting to chronic issues like arthritis, hair loss, and even high cholesterol. Yewon boldly hypothesized a collagen deficiency, which was later confirmed by a medical expert. The audience? Shocked and impressed.
Yewon’s Hidden Passion for Wellness
Yewon also surprised fans by revealing her long-standing interest in holistic health: “I even considered learning acupuncture,” she shared, earning nods of respect from fellow cast members.
What’s the Real Game-Changer? Tripeptide Collagen
The buzzword of the day? Tripeptide collagen. This potent ingredient is gaining attention for restoring skin elasticity and reviving your skin’s 4-week renewal cycle. It’s clearly the new must-have in the anti-aging arsenal.
