In this powerful episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with legendary esthetician Joanna Czech to challenge everything we think we know about skincare. With over 40 years of experience and more than 13,000 hours of clinical training, Joanna brings a rare depth of insight that cuts through beauty marketing and focuses on real skin health.
From her scientific roots in Poland to her philosophy that skin should be treated as the vital organ it is, Joanna shares why trends—from salmon semen creams to collagen powders—often do more harm than good. She unpacks the myths behind “clean beauty,” the mislabeling of skin types, and the misuse of trendy ingredients like exosomes and stem cells. For Joanna, true skincare is not about chasing fads—it’s about understanding biology, consistency, and common sense.
Listeners will walk away with practical insights, including the importance of nighttime routines, the difference between dehydration and dryness, and how lifestyle—down to hydration timing and sleep—directly impacts the skin. Joanna’s refreshingly honest perspective emphasizes education over obsession and science over sales.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the noise of the skincare industry, this episode will ground you. Tune in for a reality check that’s equal parts inspiring and enlightening—and discover why Joanna Czech’s approach is trusted by everyone from celebrities to fellow professionals.
