Episode 227: Skin care for tweens and teens

Episode 227 of my Curate Your Health Podcast is out! Link below.   Dr. Sheilagh Maguiness is here today to talk about skin care. As tweens enter puberty it is important that they know how to have healthy hygiene, with both body and skin care habits. There are big differences between girls' and boys' hygiene. It is important that we educate and show our tweens and teens how to care for themselves. Mental health and depression can be tied into low self esteem from skin issues. Acne can be a result of hormonal changes, genetic components, and how your immune system responds to bacteria. We can help our kids by having them wash their face twice a day with a gentle cleanser, and make sure to keep the products simple, hypoallergenic, and fragrance free.

She is devoted to educating patients, families, and primary care providers about childhood skin conditions.   Through Stryke Club, Dr. Sheilagh helped develop a personal care brand to address the needs of boys in particular. Along with her Stryke Club partners, she set out to fill the gap in boys’ skincare. The team found the perfect combination of mild surfactants (ie: cleansers) and a common, effective ingredient (ie: sodium hypochlorite) to help fight dirt and bacteria – and put them together to make a cleanser specifically for boys.   CTA: Follow Dr. Maguiness on TikTok and Instagram to earn more about Stryke Club and skincare   Dr. Hammerstedt and her lifestyle coaching team can be found at www.wholisthealth.com and @wholisthealth on Facebook and Instagram as well as the Facebook group Midlife Wellness Collective.
