From Anti-Aging to Longevity Thinking with Amitay and Anastasia of Young Goose Skincare
4/23/20261 hr 11 min
In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Amitay Eshel and Anastasia Khodzhaeva of Young Goose to challenge one of skincare’s most ingrained assumptions: that skin is something to fix. Instead, this conversation reframes skin as a dynamic, responsive organ—one that reflects internal biology in real time.
What unfolds is a shift in perspective. Skin is not just a surface—it’s an output. Stress, sleep, inflammation, and metabolic health all show up visibly, often before anything appears in labs or diagnoses. This changes the question entirely. Instead of asking how to correct what we see, the focus turns to why it’s happening in the first place.
A central theme is the balance between stimulus and recovery. Every treatment, active, or environmental exposure acts as a form of stress. While stimulation can drive results, it only works when paired with adequate recovery. Without that balance, the system becomes overloaded—leading to the very issues many routines aim to fix. More products, more treatments, more steps don’t always mean better outcomes. In many cases, they signal a system pushed beyond its capacity to repair.
The conversation also distinguishes longevity from traditional anti-aging. Rather than reacting to damage, longevity focuses on preserving the systems that prevent it—supporting cellular energy, repair pathways, and resilience over time. Results, in this model, are not immediate—they compound.
This episode reframes skincare as strategy, not accumulation. Listen to the full episode to hear how Amitay Eshel and Anastasia Khodzhaeva are redefining skin health through the lens of longevity and biological function.

Hey, guys, real quick, have you checked out Droplet? It is by far the most revolutionary skincare device on the market. Basically, it takes those harder-to-penetrate ingredients and pushes them deeper into the skin layers so they're actually getting to the cells that can utilize those ingredients. Recently, they just launched their Exosome Serum Mist, which is a phenomenal product because it's using real exosomes that are shipped to you on ice, so you don't have to worry about them being degraded by the time you use them. And so when you put the capsule of exosomes into your Droplet device, it creates a fine mist. That mist is allowing those exosomes to be pushed into the layers where they're going to actually be able to interact with the cells that can use them for signaling. If you wanna check out the device, go to droplet.io, use our code anarchy, A-N-A-R-C-H-Y, to get a very special bundle deal on this exosome and Droplet device duo. Hey, guys, welcome back to Skin Anarchy. I am very, very excited about this episode. Uh, we are going to be interviewing a brand today that I hold in very high regards. I absolutely love what they're doing in the longevity space, um, in all ways. And so without further ado, I wanna introduce you guys because this is a really new category for, I think, obviously skin health, but overall, you know. And I think it's really important to shine a light on brands that are doing it in a very ethical way, in a way that really makes sense biologically. It makes sense from the scientific standpoint, and I'm a huge believer in their entire ethos. So without further ado, please welcome Amitay Eshel and Anastasia Kudzeva. Um, they are the co-founders- Hey ... of Young Goose. Welcome.
