Navigating the world of teenage skincare can be tricky, especially when dealing with breakouts, pimples, bumps, and changes in skin texture. 

In this episode we talk to Elise Tabin, a seasoned beauty editor with nearly two decades of experience in the beauty industry, and, more importantly, a mom who understands the unique skincare challenges faced by teenagers. Combining her beauty expertise with the practicalities of parenting, Elise shares her tips on talking too teens including: 

• Approaching Teen Skincare: Learn how to gently introduce teens to a skincare routine without making them feel embarrassed, especially when acne is a concern.
• Educating Teens on Skincare Basics: Discover effective ways to discuss skincare fundamentals, emphasizing its importance as an extension of basic hygiene, similar to washing the body and hair, and brushing teeth.

• Lasting Solutions vs. Quick Fixes: Explore the considerations before opting for treatments like lash extensions or microblading. Elise advocates for exploring alternative options before committing to such treatments, considering their expense and ongoing upkeep.
• Addressing Expenses: Learn how to engage in an open conversation with your teen about the ongoing costs of certain skincare treatments. Elise emphasizes the importance of understanding the value of skincare products as an investment, making a $30 product more appealing than a $3000 treatment.
• TWiiSH: Elise shares her journey in creating TWiiSH, a skincare line designed specifically for teens in collaboration with her daughter and a Harvard-trained chemist. And don’t worry, adults can benefit from these products too!

While plastic surgery is a personal choice that can be made at any time, there are specific benefits to opting for procedures in cooler weather.

In this episode, we speak to Dr. Dare Ajibade from Jamachi Plastic Surgery, about the advantages of scheduling plastic surgeries during the winter season. 

Advantages of Cold Weather Plastic Surgeries:

• Less Sun Exposure: One key advantage is the reduced sun exposure during fall and winter, minimizing the risk of hyperpigmentation and skin damage. Dr. Ajibade emphasizes the importance of concealing incisions and surgery scars from the sun for optimal healing.
• Experience Less Discomfort: Winter’s cooler temperatures bring additional perks, such as experiencing less discomfort during recovery due to decreased sweating. This is particularly beneficial for surgical wound healing, as sweat can irritate incisions and elevate the risk of infection. Furthermore, the cooler temperatures also make it easier to tolerate compression garments, essential for various body contouring procedures. 
• Clothing to help conceal: Winter attire, including loose-fitting sweaters, jackets, and scarves, provides the perfect cover for any post-surgery or compression garments. This allows individuals to recover discreetly without drawing attention to the surgical process.
• The Big Spring/Summer Reveal: Many people have social events, weddings, or reunions in the summer and want to look their best. Having surgery in the fall allows ample time for recovery and healing before the next busy social season.

Just remember, whether it’s snow or sunshine, deciding on surgery should be all about you, your health, and what feels right for you. And recovery times can vary, so speaking to a trusted surgeon, and following their advice is key for the best results.
