American teens aren’t just experimenting with skincare—they’re reshaping an entire industry. In fact, U.S. teens are now spending an estimated $1.7 billion annually on skincare, with some starting routines as young as 12. Fueled by social media trends and influencer culture, many are adopting complex, multi-step regimens—and about 20% are spending over $50 a month on products, according to Yale Medicine. In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Angela Casey—a double board-certified dermatologist, fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon, educator, and founder of Bright Girl—who’s working to bring clarity and common sense back to skincare. As both a physician and a mom of three, Dr. Casey offers a grounded, practical approach that cuts through the noise. She shares how parents and teens can move away from overwhelming routines and instead focus on what actually works: proper cleansing, effective moisturizing, and consistent sunscreen use. Her philosophy centers on prevention, education, and building lifelong habits that protect and support healthy skin. We also explore how her Bright Girl platform is helping families navigate skincare with confidence—empowering young people to understand not just what to do, but why it matters. With a growing community of over 50,000 followers, Dr. Casey is making science accessible and encouraging meaningful conversations around self-care, confidence, and long-term wellness. If you’re a parent, caregiver, or teen trying to make sense of today’s skincare boom, this episode delivers clear, trustworthy guidance—and a refreshing reminder that sometimes, simpler really is better.   For More Information: https://brightgirl.com/ Follow: @brightgirlbeauty   Learn more about your ad choices.
