Starting and following a skincare routine can have significant long-term benefits for skin health. Dr. Angela Casey recommends introducing skincare products, such as the Bright Girl beauty line, to children at this age to empower them to take ownership of their health and well-being. As someone who treats and removes skin cancer, Dr. Casey would like to help people reduce the likelihood or even prevent skin cancer if young people take autonomy over their skincare.

Regular skin checks are crucial for early detection of potential skin issues, such as skin cancer. Dr. Angela Casey emphasizes the importance of proactively monitoring the skin for changes. She recommends checking the skin once a month and standing in front of a mirror to look for changing moles or growths. Dr. Casey uses the ABCDE nomenclature to guide individuals in identifying signs concerning Asymmetry, Borders, Color, Diameter, and Evolution. By being vigilant and noticing any changes in moles or growths, individuals can seek professional dermatology opinions promptly, leading to early detection and timely intervention if needed.
