    Skincare Secrets With Dr. Brooke Vasicek

    In this episode, we sit down with board-certified dermatologist Dr. Brooke Vasicek to cut through the very loud skincare noise. From TikTok trends and sunscreen fear-mongering to what actually works (and what's just expensive marketing), Brooke breaks down skin aging in a way that's realistic, evidence-based, and refreshingly non-judgy. Here's What We Cover: Why aging is actually a privilege (and why you can care about your skin without hating yourself) The only at-home skincare steps that truly matter SPF myths, spray sunscreens, and why lotion always wins Retinol, vitamin C, and which products are worth your money (and which aren't) Face rollers, gua sha, and other "do you really need this?" trends What dermatology treatments actually do—from peels and microneedling to lasers and Botox The skincare mistakes even skincare lovers make (👀 straws, side sleeping, sun exposure) Why celebrities "just drinking water" is… not the whole story Dr. Vasicek brings expert insight with zero scare tactics, reminding us that confidence matters more than perfection—and that skincare doesn't need to be complicated, extreme, or rooted in fear. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, skeptical, or curious about skincare, anti-aging, or dermatology treatments… this is the episode you didn't know you needed.
