What this episode covers
For many teenagers, skin isn't just skin—it's confidence, identity, and how they believe the world sees them. In this insightful conversation, Sarah sits down with double board-certified dermatologist and dermatologic surgeon Dr. Angela Casey to explore the emotional impact of skin conditions during adolescence, the connection between skin health and overall wellness, and how parents can help young people build confidence while developing healthy self-care habits. Together they discuss acne, eczema, sunscreen, self-esteem, and why taking care of your skin is about far more than appearance.
