    #294 | Dr. Angela Casey - Parents Are Getting Skincare Wrong

    In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Angela Casey, a board-certified dermatologist, mom of three, and founder of Bright Girl, a skincare brand created to help tweens and teens build healthy skincare habits from an early age. After years of treating preventable skin concerns in her dermatology practice, Dr. Casey realized that many young people were getting their skincare advice from social media instead of medical professionals. That inspired her to create Bright Girl—a simple, science-backed approach to skincare that helps kids build confidence while protecting their skin.In this conversation, we talk about parenting in the age of TikTok, the pressure kids face from beauty trends, and how parents can help their children develop healthy habits without overcomplicating skincare.
