The Dr. Randi Show explores the future of medicine, innovation, and real-world impact, from longevity science to business strategy, clinical breakthroughs to cultural shifts. Hosted by Dr. Randi Boyette, each episode features bold, unfiltered conversations with doctors, founders, scientists, and entrepreneurs who are changing the way we think about health, and how it’s delivered. Aesthetics, beauty, and patient experience are part of the story, but so are data, disruption, and the hard truths no one else is talking about.
The Most Overlooked Step in Anti-Aging with Spooge | Dr. Whitney Hovenic
Dr. Whitney Hovenic, double board-certified dermatologist, skin cancer surgeon, and co-founder of Spooge, joins The Dr. Randi Show to explain why sunscreen is her number one anti-aging recommendation, and why the consequences of skipping it extend far beyond wrinkles.
Sun exposure accounts for an estimated 80% of skin aging. A single blistering sunburn during childhood or adolescence can nearly double the risk of melanoma later in life. Yet 64% of Gen Z respondents in a 2025 American Academy of Dermatology survey said they often forget to apply sunscreen. Dr. Hovenic discusses these findings, along with research showing that regular sunscreen use can cut melanoma risk in half.
She sees the consequences of sun damage every day, treating patients who wish they had protected their skin sooner. Those conversations helped inspire Spooge, a fun, playful brand with a serious mission: getting more people to wear sunscreen consistently. From its attention-grabbing name to its mineral formulas and approachable pricing, she shares how Spooge brings a fresh perspective to daily sun protection.
In this episode:

[…] And people are always surprised when I say sunscreen. They're expecting me to say like some multi-ingredient, you know, Retinol, obviously I love, but all of these things that we think about as skincare products, and when I tell them that it's sunscreen, they kind of give me a look like, yeah, right. But we know that 80%, even more than that potentially, of skin aging comes from the sun. So you could be putting the most expensive serum on your face, and if you're not incorporating sunscreen into that daily routine, you're missing that 80% of where the sun damage is coming from. So it's all about prevention, not just treatment. […]
