Longevity Talk: How to Not Age Like an American | Salon Ch. 3 Culture #SFTechWeek
Behind the metrics: the lifestyle, rituals, secrets, protocols, and practices across cultures.
LONGEVITY SALON · CHAPTER 3: CULTURE
Chapter 3 of The Longevity Salon moves longevity out of the lab and into daily life. Healthspan over lifespan: not how long we live, but how well, and what the cultures that age best actually do every day.
Longevity tech has gotten very good at one thing: measurement. Rings, patches, DEXA scans, 100-biomarker panels, biological age scores that update weekly. Almost none of it touches what you actually do on Tuesday night. The industry sold the number. Nobody sold the life.
The most persuasive longevity evidence on earth is not in a lab. It is a culture, and it runs on habits so ordinary nobody thought to productize them.
THE CONVERSATION + DEBATE
Hosted by Moonsun Kim, a serial entrepreneur across fashion, wellness and healthtech who has lived in Korea, Germany and San Francisco. She opens with Korean longevity, separating myth from reality: photoprotection, temperature cycling, urban walking, fermented foods and the early skincare rituals that start in your twenties, not your fifties.
Joined by Skylar An, Founder and CEO of Skyne Beauty, a San Francisco K-beauty brand focused on early skin longevity. A lifelong skincare enthusiast with sensitive skin, Skylar previously advised some of Korea's largest beauty and consumer brands at Meta on data-driven growth, and led go-to-market and product launches at Coupang. Together we'll talk about skin as a longevity signal, and why prevention is a culture before it is a product.
