episode 8: 8) Navigating Acne and Skin Health in Teens with Dr. Jennifer Salsberg
In a world where social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok dominate the lives of teenagers, it's not surprising that skincare trends and quick fixes can spread like wildfire.
Teenagers are often bombarded with skincare advice, DIY remedies, and products promising miraculous results.
However, the truth is that navigating the journey of teenage acne requires more than just the latest viral skincare hack.
A parent in particular raised some concerns and submitted this question: "Please help! Skin has become a major source of stress for my young teens. They're starting to break out and it's making them extremely self conscious. There are so many options on the market and I'm not sure where to start. Any tips on how to keep pimples at bay and decrease the intensity of breakouts after they occur?"
