In this episode of The Positively Healthy Mom Podcast, host Laura Ollinger sits down with Dr. Angela Casey, a double board-certified dermatologist, surgeon, and founder of Bright Girl Skincare, to talk about why teaching teens to care for their skin is one of the best long-term health investments we can make.

Together, they explore:
-How early skincare habits shape lifelong skin health
-Why sunscreen and gentle routines matter more than complicated regimens
-How to talk to teens about self-care in a way they’ll actually listen
-The connection between skincare, confidence, and mental wellbeing
