What inspired you to create Skincare Junkie, and how does your background as a dermatologist influence the way you approach skin health and education? Skincare Junkie was born directly from my exam room. I kept seeing patients who were doing “everything right” — using popular clean products, following trends — yet breaking out, inflamed, or sensitized. As a dermatologist, I saw a major gap between what was marketed as skin-friendly and what actually respected the skin barrier

The start of a new year often inspires transformation. What does “New Year, New You” mean to you personally and professionally? To me, “New Year, New You” isn’t about reinventing yourself overnight. It’s about alignment. I’ve learned that the more I listen to my body and simplify my life, the clearer my purpose becomes. Personally, it’s a moment to reflect on what truly supports my body, mind, and spirit and to let go of what no longer serves me. Professionally, it’s a recom
