Why are there so many skincare products marketed to tween and teen girls but so few for boys? What should teens look for on a label—and what should they avoid? How much do hormones, diet, stress, and age play a role in acne? What are the latest treatments for acne, eczema, and psoriasis? If you’re curious to learn how to help your tween or teen prevent or treat acne, or whether things like Accutane, toners, retinols, or sunscreens are recommended by skincare experts, tune in and take notes! On this episode, one of the country’s top board-certified pediatric dermatologists, Dr. Sheilagh Maguiness, joins Dr. Amy and Sandy to offer straight-forward advice on all things skin related. From babies and kids to teens and adults, Dr. Sheilagh is engaged in the most cutting-age science behind products we use to clean, treat, moisturize, protect, and beautify our skin—and she’s “clearing up” the misconceptions that many of us have believed for years.
