The Real Scoop on 'Sephora Babies'!

WATCH THE FULL EPISODE

Ok, ok, ok... By now, who hasn't heard the hype about tweens as young as 9 and 10 getting into the skincare game with complicated anti-aging routines?!
Commonly referred to as 'Sephora Babies,' this skincare craze in young girls is causing concern for both parents and dermatologists alike! While creating healthy skincare habits is key and a great thing to instill in our children, the skincare craze may have gone too far with a heavy emphasis on actives and anti-aging!

This week on the podcast I'm joined by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Brooke Jeffy who has a particular interest in adolescent dermatology! Tune in to hear her take on the skincare trends for tweens and what products are okay and not okay for our kids.
