Skin Science: Expert Dermatology Podcast by Dr. Rashmi Shetty
I created this podcast to bring experts together and share my gyaan on the science behind beauty, skin, and hormones. It is about understanding your body to achieve true, sustainable wellness.
Welcome to Skin Science, a limited series where I host incredible guests to explore the science underneath beauty and aesthetics. The body is a complex vessel, and we're here to help you understand it.
In Episode 1 with the fabulous Niharika Nm, we dive into beauty standards, the real deal on fillers, the buzz around Ozempic, and the truth about Glutathione.
A clip from my podcast with Niharika Nm where we discuss Glutathione. I explain that its skin-lightening effect is actually a side effect; its primary role is as a powerful antioxidant that cleanses the liver.
Episode 2 of Skin Science with celebrity nutritionist Pooja Makhija. We dive deep into the secrets of how what you eat is directly reflected on your skin.
A clip from my conversation with Rashi Chowdhary about the gut-skin axis. We explore why your digestion, food choices, and intolerances could be showing up on your face.
In this episode with celebrity makeup artist Namrata Soni, we discuss everything a bride needs to know, from skin prep for acne-prone skin to the right way to remove makeup.

About this collection
You often ask me about the real reason behind a breakout or why a specific skincare trend didn't work. The truth is, your skin is a reflection of your internal health—your gut, your hormones, and your stress levels. In these podcast episodes, I go beyond the surface with fellow experts to break down exactly how these systems are connected so you can make informed, safe decisions for your skin.
Why Skin Science?
I started this podcast because there is too much misinformation out there. Whether it is the hype around specific supplements, the confusion between healthy skin and trending fads, or the science of aesthetic procedures, you deserve facts, not marketing. My guests—ranging from celebrity nutritionists like Pooja Makhija to yoga experts like Anshuka Parwani—help me connect the dots between your daily lifestyle and your appearance.
The Gut-Skin Connection
We deep-dive into how digestion impacts your complexion. If your gut is the soil, your skin is the flower. We discuss why sugar, caffeine, and erratic sleep cycles show up as inflammation, acne, or premature aging on your face. You cannot fix the skin without addressing the internal environment.
Hormones and Health
Hormonal balance is non-negotiable. We tackle the myths around PCOS, menstrual health, and how stress hormones like cortisol can lead to what I call 'angry skin.' This is about providing the knowledge you need to manage your skin from within, rather than just covering it up.
Aesthetic Realities
I also bring in experts to talk about the reality of procedures. We discuss the science of fillers, the appropriate use of Botox, and how to prep your skin before and after cosmetic treatments. My goal is to demystify these procedures so you know exactly what is happening to your face. Take a listen to these episodes if you want to understand your body better, move past fads, and start a journey toward sustainable wellness.
