    The Oral Health & Skin Health Connection

    In Episode 32 of the Dermastore® podcast, Greg and Dr Ian Webster sit down with Natasha Swart, an experienced oral hygienist from Curaden South Africa, to discuss the fascinating (and often overlooked) connection between oral health and skin health. They cover everything from gum disease and the oral microbiome's impact on the skin to best-practice use of baby pacifiers (even for Gen Zs!) and tackle the hotly debated topic of fluoride in both oral care products and in water.

    Our Environment & The Skin

    In episode 31 of the Dermastore® podcast, we sit down with Dr Ian Webster (Dermatologist) to discuss how everyday external factors can affect the condition, comfort, and ultimately the health of our skin. From geographic location, air quality, and humidity levels to the fabrics we wear and sleep in, and the water and soaps we use every day — these all play a role in the bigger picture of our skin health.
