What if your skincare routine is actually making your autoimmune flares worse? And what does a bacteria that survived 18 months in outer space have to do with healing your skin? This episode might change everything you thought you knew about skincare and inflammation.

Holly B. sits down with Dr. Kyle Landry — food scientist, Harvard longevity researcher, and co-founder of Delavie Sciences — to break down the skin microbiome, the gut-skin-immune connection, and a NASA-discovered ingredient that activates your body's own repair and hydration pathways. If you're a woman with lupus or another autoimmune condition dealing with dry skin, rashes, photosensitivity, or unpredictable flares, this one's for you.

What we cover:

• The skin microbiome and why it matters for autoimmune skin symptoms

• How leaky gut drives skin inflammation and flares

• Probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics — gut and skin

• Why simpler skincare routines get better results

• The space bacteria that boosts your skin's own hyaluronic acid by 200%

• Sirtuins, longevity pathways, and what "age-defying" really means

• How to switch skincare products without triggering a flare

• Skincare myths busted — including the sunscreen/vitamin D debate
