About this episode

This episode discusses the ingredients to avoid in skin care products for tweens and teens and highlights the potential risks associated with these products.

As the obsession with expensive, make-me-look-younger skin care products rages on, the public deserves to know why some of these products are concerning. There are real medical reasons for young people to avoid these products. We explain which ingredients should be avoided in the tween and teen years, and which ingredients actually help (yep, there are some good ones out there!). This episode isn’t about the bananas nature of already young people seeking younger-looking skin, but rather the potential risks that can come from slathering this stuff all over themselves.
