Healthy Habits - "Zombie Cells" and Skincare

 With Halloween just around the corner, we’ve got a timely and eye-opening health segment that will grab viewers' attention—because zombie cells aren’t just fiction... they’re in the surface layer of your skin.


These so-called “zombie cells” (scientifically known as senescent cells) are surface skin cells that become less active or go to sleep, showing visible signs of aging. As we age, they build up in our bodies and skin, disrupting stem cell function and speeds up the aging process—including visible signs like dryness, dullness, and lack of firmness.


The Truth About Aging Skin:

Most people think of aging in places like the crepey skin on your neck, but the process begins long before anything is visible. Cell turnover slows, the skin barrier weakens, and surface skin cells stop renewing as fast. It’s a silent shift that sets the stage for aging later.


This Halloween-themed beauty and wellness segment will:

Reveal the science behind “zombie cells” and how they impact skin aging

Show how to spot early signs of aging (even before dryness or lack of firmness appears)

Share simple, expert-backed solutions to slow the process—gently and effectively


In this interview, Dermatologist Dr. Glynis Ablon explains the science in a fun, accessible way—and shares the latest innovations for fighting “zombie” surface skin cells this season.





Dr. Ablon is a paid Galderma consultant.
