Welcome to Dermguards.
My name is Dr. Joseph Younis, MD - a researcher, physician, and a passionate advocate for evidence-based skincare. Let’s start with this concept: Your skin is your largest organ, and the first and best protection against microbes that cause disease in your body. Your health is only as good as the integrity of your skin.
In my years of academic and clinical work in dermatology, I've been disturbed by the industry's tendency to lean on trends and sensationalism rather than hard, scientific facts. Skincare shouldn't be about the latest fad, but about understanding the sophisticated biophysiology of skin. That's where Dermguards comes in - bridging the gap between empirical science and your skincare routine.
We're stepping beyond the confines of mainstream misinformation to discuss the fascinating realms of aging, reverse-aging, epigenetics, carcinogenesis and their implications on the evolving topics of beauty, clean/organic skincare, and pioneering technologies. Is it possible to reverse skin aging? Absolutely! But how, you might ask? That's the knowledge Dermguards is committed to share.
I’m here to empower you with the knowledge to challenge misconceptions, demystify unproven claims, and sift through the labyrinth of products and information that often leads to confusion and using toxic products on your body. Every piece of content on Dermguards, from articles and reviews to product recommendations, is meticulously grounded in rigorous literature review or a comprehensive analysis of the available research.
So, let's step away from the allure of marketing buzzwords and flashy packaging to discover the raw science of skin. Join me in navigating this intriguing world of anti-aging, beauty, clean and organic skincare from an evidence-based lens.
