    Jun 15 2026

    In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Beverly Hills plastic surgeon and Dr. 90210 physician Dr. Michelle Lee for a thoughtful conversation about beauty, body image, and the future of aesthetic medicine. Moving beyond social media trends and quick-fix procedures, Dr. Lee offers an evidence-based perspective on how patients can make more informed decisions in an increasingly complex cosmetic landscape.

    Drawing from her background in plastic surgery and her lifelong appreciation for art and aesthetics, Dr. Lee challenges the idea that beauty is synonymous with perfection. Instead, she argues that the most compelling results come from harmony, balance, and preserving what makes each individual unique. In an era of increasingly aggressive treatments and ever-changing trends, that perspective feels more relevant than ever.

    The conversation also tackles one of the most important issues facing modern aesthetics: knowing when not to treat. Dr. Lee shares her perspective on body dysmorphic tendencies, unrealistic expectations, and the responsibility practitioners have to recognize when a procedure may not be the right answer. As cosmetic interventions become more accessible, thoughtful patient selection and ethical decision-making have become just as important as technical skill.

    Dr. Lee also discusses the treatments she continues to trust after years in practice, why skin quality often matters more than people realize, and how regenerative approaches such as fat grafting may help shape the future of aesthetic medicine. Rather than focusing solely on immediate results, she encourages patients to ask a different question: how will this decision look ten years from now?

    Listen to the full episode to hear Dr. Michelle Lee discuss longevity aesthetics, regenerative medicine, body image, and how to make smarter, more informed decisions in a rapidly evolving aesthetic landscape.

    Jun 11 2026

    In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Alli Webb, the founder of Drybar and creator of Messy, for a candid conversation about entrepreneurship, innovation, and the evolving relationship people have with their hair. Best known for transforming the blowout into a category-defining experience, Alli reflects on the journey from launching a mobile styling business to building one of the most recognizable brands in beauty.

    What emerges is a powerful lesson in how great businesses are built. Drybar didn’t succeed because it invented something new—it succeeded because it solved a real problem. Alli shares how identifying an unmet consumer need, combined with relentless focus on experience, consistency, and accessibility, helped create a brand that resonated far beyond the salon chair.

    The conversation also pulls back the curtain on the realities of entrepreneurship. Beyond the headlines and success stories, Alli speaks openly about the challenges of scaling a company, maintaining a clear vision, and navigating the constant problem-solving that comes with growth. Her perspective offers a refreshing reminder that successful businesses are rarely built through perfect planning—they evolve through resilience, adaptability, and curiosity.

    As the discussion turns to her latest venture, Messy, Alli shares how a shift in her own relationship with hair inspired a new philosophy. Rather than constantly transforming texture through heat and styling, she began embracing her natural waves and encouraging others to do the same. The result is a brand centered on hair health, authenticity, and working with your hair rather than against it.

    Listen to the full episode to hear Alli Webb discuss building iconic brands, embracing natural texture, and why authenticity may be the most powerful beauty trend of all.

  • From Fertility Struggles to Skincare Innovation: The Power of Peptides Ft. Whitney Kendrick of Routine Skin
    Jun 9 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Ekta sits down with Whitney Kendrick, founder and CEO of Routine Skin and co-founder of Soma, for an insightful conversation about peptides, regenerative skincare, and the evolving connection between skin health and longevity science.

    Whitney shares the deeply personal experiences that led her into the world of peptides, beginning with fertility challenges that introduced her to peptide therapy and later a severe burn injury that inspired the creation of Routine Skin. Through her journey, she discovered the powerful role peptides can play in supporting the body's natural healing and regenerative processes, ultimately shaping both her personal wellness philosophy and entrepreneurial path.

    Together, Ekta and Whitney explore what peptides actually are, cutting through the hype to explain how these signaling molecules help direct the body's natural repair mechanisms. They discuss the growing interest in peptides across both wellness and skincare, while emphasizing the importance of science, education, and informed decision-making in an industry often driven by trends and marketing claims.

    A significant part of the conversation focuses on GHK-Cu, also known as Copper Peptide, one of the most extensively studied ingredients in regenerative skincare. Whitney explains how decades of wound-healing research have revealed its potential to support collagen production, tissue repair, and overall skin regeneration. She also highlights why formulation quality is critical, noting that not all peptide products deliver the same results and that stability and ingredient integrity play a major role in efficacy.

    The discussion also touches on Routine Skin's commitment to fragrance-free formulations and a minimalist approach to product development. Rather than focusing on sensory experiences or unnecessary additives, Whitney believes skincare should prioritize ingredients that directly contribute to skin health and function.

    As the conversation looks toward the future, Whitney shares her perspective on longevity, biohacking, and regenerative health. While scientific innovation continues to accelerate, she believes the most effective approach to long-term wellness may be surprisingly simple: supporting the body's natural biology through consistent habits, reduced inflammation, quality sleep, and evidence-based skincare.

    This episode offers a thoughtful exploration of the science behind peptides, the promise of regenerative skincare, and the future of longevity-focused beauty, providing listeners with practical insights for navigating today's rapidly evolving wellness landscape.
