## Resource

In this episode of That’s Derm Good! , Janelle sits down with Dr. Hallie McDonald to explore her journey into dermatology and her passion for reshaping how younger generations approach skincare. From growing up in a medical family to building her own skincare brand, Dr. McDonald shares how her experiences have shaped her perspective on patient care, education, and innovation. The conversation dives into the growing influence of social media on teen skincare habits—and the unintended consequences of overly complicated routines.

She also introduces her brand, Early Skincare , designed to deliver safe, effective, and approachable products for all ages, while teaching the next generation how to build healthy habits early.
