    How to Slow Skin Aging Naturally (It Starts Earlier Than You Think) | Jasmin El Kodi

    What if aging starts earlier than we think? In this episode of GlowTalks with Jess, we’re joined by Jasmin El Kodi, CEO of MBlue Labs (Bluelene), to explore the science behind skin aging, longevity, and what it really means to start over. While many of us notice changes in our 30s or 40s, the reality is that collagen and elastin production begin declining as early as age 25. Jasmin breaks down what’s happening beneath the surface—and how innovation in skincare is shifting the way we approach aging. But this conversation goes far beyond skincare. After a successful 30-year career in tech, Jasmin made a bold pivot into the wellness and beauty space, driven by burnout, health challenges, and a desire to realign with her purpose. From leaving a high-powered career to training in yoga in India, to building a science-backed skincare brand from the ground up—her journey is both inspiring and deeply relatable. In this episode, we talk about: The truth about when aging actually beginsHow stress, lifestyle, and wellness impact your skinJasmin’s transition from tech to skincare entrepreneurshipLessons on starting over and aligning with your valuesThe science behind Bluelene and breakthrough innovation in beautyIf you’re navigating change, curious about skincare science, or looking for a fresh perspective on aging and longevity—this episode is for you. ✨ Tune in and join the conversation. 📲👥 Join the Glow Talks Community! 👉 Instagram → @GlowTalksWithJess @JessErnst_ 👉 TikTok → @GlowTalks_ 👉 Instagram → @jelkordi @getbluelene
