Melasma, Eczema & Rosacea: What Causes Them & How to Treat Them Properly
Jadu Beauty Podcast ·
From " Medical Dermatology " to Helping Patients Protect Their Skin for Life
Ever wonder why some people never seem to have a skin emergency, no flare-ups, no last-minute derm visits, while others are always putting out fires? Dr. Roya Nazarian says it usually comes down to what happened years before the emergency, not during it. She's a board-certified dermatologist at Turner Dermatology and Assistant Clinical Professor at Mount Sinai in New York City. Her patients range from everyday sunscreen questions to people managing hair loss and skin changes during chemotherapy and radiation.
"Everyone should see a dermatologist once a year."— Dr. Roya Nazarian, Dermatologist
That range of patients changed the way she practices. Dr. Nazarian treats skin as a reflection of what's happening inside the body, not a surface to patch after something goes wrong. Her advice comes down to a handful of simple habits practiced daily, not a miracle product. It's exactly the whole-body thinking Jadu applies to hair and scalp care too, and it works the same for everyone. Skin and scalp health don't check for gender, and neither does prevention.
What We Cover in This Episode
See a Dermatologist Before You Think You Need To
Dr. Nazarian's biggest piece of advice is boring on purpose: see a dermatologist once a year, before anything looks wrong. Most skin cancers, and a lot of other conditions, get caught early this way, back when they're easiest to treat. Skin also shows signs of what's happening inside the body before you feel it anywhere else. It's the same idea behind scalp treatments: catching a problem at the root, before it shows up in the mirror, beats fixing it after the fact.
Protect the Barrier, Every Single Day
If Dr. Nazarian could get everyone to do just one thing, it would be sunscreen. "Sunscreen is the most important thing I recommend to everyone," she says. She means every day, rain or shine, indoors included, since UV rays reach you even through a window. Her other non-negotiable is protecting your skin barrier, the outer layer that keeps moisture in and irritants out. "The most important thing is to protect your skin barrier and moisturize," she says. In practice, that means fragrance-free products, a thicker moisturizer, and skipping scalding-hot showers. That same barrier logic applies to your scalp. A lot of shampoos lean on three ingredients dermatologists tell people to watch for. Sulfates are the foaming detergents that strip away your natural oils. Silicones are the synthetic coatings that build up over time and block moisture from getting in. Parabens are preservatives that have been linked to hormone disruption. None of them are doing your skin or scalp any favors. That's the whole idea behind clean hair care: a natural shampoo and conditioner with no chemical fillers and no toxic shortcuts, just weightless hydration instead.
Hair Loss Rarely Has One Cause
Hair loss is one of the most common questions Dr. Nazarian gets, and her answer always starts the same way: there's no single cause. "Hair loss is not a simple problem with one solution," she says. It can be hormones, stress, a nutrient gap, or an autoimmune condition, and the right fix depends on which one it actually is. It's the same story behind stress and hair loss and hormonal hair loss . Gastroenterologist Dr. Kevin Yeroushalmi made the same point on Gut Check : nutrient deficiencies tend to show up in your hair before you notice them anywhere else. She's also quick to push back on the word "natural." Natural doesn't automatically mean safe, or effective. Her real advice is simpler: look for short, fragrance-free ingredient lists. And don't sleep on oatmeal, it sounds too basic to work, but it has real, proven anti-inflammatory benefits.
Skip the Quick Fix, Trust the Routine
The conversation closes on melasma and pigmentation, conditions that hormones, sunlight, and even the blue light from your phone can all trigger. Dr. Nazarian walks through the treatment options, but keeps landing on the same point: daily sun protection is what actually keeps it from coming back. It's the same reason clean hair care only works as a daily habit, not a one-time swap.
"Skin health is not only external. It reflects internal health, lifestyle, and environmental exposure. Long-term consistency, especially sun protection, is more important than quick or temporary solutions."— Dr. Roya Nazarian
That's the whole idea behind switching to clean, non-toxic hair care as a resolution, not a one-time reset: the swap only works if it's something you'll actually keep doing.

Dr. Nazarian didn't call out a Jadu product on air. This episode is a philosophy match, not a product mention. But her core idea lines up with three Jadu picks: prevention and consistency beat quick fixes, and hair loss needs a root cause diagnosed before it needs a random product.
Jadu Heal
"Hair loss is not a simple problem with one solution."
Jadu Heal is a rich, oil-based scalp treatment for dry, tight, and itchy scalps, made with 100% natural botanicals and no synthetic fragrance. Dr. Nazarian's point about finding the root cause before treating it starts with a healthy scalp environment in the first place.

"Skin health is not only external. Long-term consistency is more important than quick or temporary solutions."
Dr. Nazarian never points to a single product as the fix, she treats scalp, skin, and habits as one system. Heal & Nourish pairs pre-wash scalp hydration with intensive end repair, a complete routine instead of a single-step patch.
