Dermatologist Explains Why Your Expensive Skincare Routine Is Damaging Your Skin with Dr. Angela Casey | EP 73

What if that shelf full of expensive skincare products is secretly working against you?

You're juggling serums, toners, acids, and retinols because influencers promised results.  Dr. Kate Dee is joined by Dr. Angela Casey, board-certified dermatologist and owns a line of skincare for young women. 

Dr. Casey has spent decades looking at skin under microscopes and knows what actually works versus what just sounds good in marketing. Together with Dr. Kate, she walks through how to build a simple, effective routine that protects your investment in procedures like lasers and injectables while preventing the kind of damage that ages you faster.

Dr. Kate Dee asks her what most people are making two critical mistakes that sabotage everyone when it comes to skincare. Dr. Angela Casey breaks down exactly what your skin barrier does, why it matters more than you think, and how the wrong products can turn even healthy skin into irritated, sensitive skin.

You'll learn the truth about which ingredients deserve your money, why your skin microbiome acts like a farm that needs proper care, and how to adapt your routine as you age. 

Whether you're dealing with acne, trying to prevent wrinkles, or already seeing signs of sun damage, get a clear roadmap without overwhelming you with products you don't need.

Stay until the end for Dr. Casey's one message she wishes every patient understood before walking into her office.
