Episode 322: Skin Care and Alligators?!

This week’s show is very diverse in subject matter. On one hand, we have Nicole here to chat about the importance of understanding skin care for young people, and the dangerous trend of pushing certain products where they are not needed. On the other hand, Sara just got back from Gatorland in Orlando, and she can’t wait to tell you all about alligators… There’s something for everyone on the podcast and at the library!

I have a tan!

Nicole talks about skincare and how teens have different skin than adults and should use a different skincare regime. Sal is jealous of Nicole’s youthful age but likes the brand “Drunk Elephant”. And also Stridex….my go to as a teen, Sal had Clearasil, Nicole had ZapZit. And also GenZ, you looking old trying to look young, stop the madness!!

I talk about alligators. And fiction books about alligators. Fun facts: they have obvious teeth, they go back 200 million years ago but they survived the extinction that killed off the dinosaurs, they grow to 13′ feet long, and they run too fast.
