Viral Skincare Hacks vs. Healthy Skin: Omnia Sami of Omni Beauty Spa on Protecting Your Skin Barrier

On The Good Neighbor Podcast, host Stacey Poehler talks with Omnia Sami of Omni Beauty Spa in Milton about viral DIY skincare hacks and the damage they can cause, especially to the skin barrier that keeps moisture in and irritants out. Omnia explains how over-exfoliation and harsh or kitchen-based acids (lemon, apple cider vinegar, garlic) can disrupt skin pH, cause redness, sensitivity, dryness, burns, or infection, while professional acids and peels are used in controlled percentages with prep and aftercare. They discuss risks of at-home microneedling, dermaplaning, toothpaste for acne, slugging (especially over retinol), and sunscreen “contouring,” emphasizing full SPF use for cancer prevention and pigmentation. Omnia advises stopping experiments, returning to gentle cleanse/moisturize/SPF, seeking professional help, and expecting healing to take weeks to months; contact: omnibeautyspa.com or 470-326-5099.

How Facially-Driven Orthodontics Can Support a Youthful Smile with Dr. Korry Tauber

Host Stacey Poehler interviews Dr. Korry Tauber of Stable Orthodontics about “facially-driven” orthodontics and how tooth and jaw position can influence facial aging. Tauber explains that as people age, soft tissue sags and bone structure changes, and teeth and jaws act like “tent poles” supporting lips and cheeks; moving teeth can change facial fullness and smile appearance. They discuss maintaining a youthful smile through proper upper front tooth position, tooth inclination, smile arc, and increasing smile width to reduce dark spaces. Tauber describes how tooth wear and grinding can shorten teeth, overclose the bite, and reduce the lower facial third, sometimes requiring orthodontics coordinated with restorative dentistry. He reviews evolving views on extractions, earlier screening, adult options like aligners and custom braces, and adult expansion using MARPE with temporary anchorage devices.
