This past weekend in Texas, I had the opportunity to attend the 2026 WDS Forum & IVWG, a truly unique meeting that brings together dermatologists, industry partners, and leaders across our field for thoughtful conversation in a more intimate, retreat style setting.

What stood out most was the chance to move beyond surface level networking and engage in real discussions about leadership, innovation, collaboration, and the future of dermatology.

I left grateful for the opportunity to reconnect with longtime colleagues, meet new voices from across the specialty, and be part of a community committed to advancing our field in meaningful ways. Thank you to Women’s Dermatologic Society for creating space for these important conversations.

So grateful to Susan Small and Avon for inviting me to the private screening of Tough Old Broads at IPIC Theaters last night.

The film, directed by Stacey Tenenbaum, celebrates trailblazing women and the fearless spirit that moves history forward, including Kathrine Switzer, one of my running idols and the first woman to officially run the Boston Marathon in 1967.

After this historic accomplishment, she founded the Avon International Running Circuit, advancing fearlessness and empowerment for women worldwide. Her groundbreaking role remains so powerful and relevant as ever today, and it was magical to chat with her and have her sign my first marathon (Boston!) jacket.

Grateful to meet amazing women in the audience such as Nnenna Lynch, former professional athlete and Chair of the Board of New York Road Runners, and share stories that honor resilience, empowerment, and the women who continue to break barriers.

Best of luck to all the runners prepping for the Boston Marathon this Patriot’s Day Monday. May you conquer Heartbreak Hill and kick some asphalt in Beantown!

I recently visited Byron Kim’s A Little Deepness at James Cohan Gallery, and it felt especially meaningful to experience the work not only as a viewer, but also as a fellow Yale alum who had the chance to meet Byron in person.

What stayed with me most was the quiet depth of the exhibition, how it holds intimacy and expansiveness at once. Bringing together early large-scale sky paintings with a full year of Kim’s ongoing Sunday Paintings, the show feels like a meditation on observation, time, memory, and our relationship to the natural world. It invites a slower kind of looking, one grounded in attention, subtlety, and reflection.

I was especially moved by the idea of the Sunday Paintings as both a visual diary and a sustained practice of noticing: each one rooted in a specific place, time, and emotional register, yet together forming something larger about connection, presence, and the relationship between a part and the whole. Knowing a bit more of the artist behind the work made that sense of thoughtfulness and humanity feel even more tangible.

For anyone in New York, A Little Deepness is on view at James Cohan, 48 Walker Street, from April 10 through May 9, 2026.

Grateful for art, and artists, that remind us to slow down, look more closely, and find resonance in quiet things.

It was a beautiful spring day in Central Park yesterday for the Run as One 4M presented by JPMorgan Chase, and even more meaningful knowing the purpose behind every mile.

This race honors Tom Labrecque, a lifelong never-smoker who passed away from lung cancer, and helps raise funds and awareness for lung cancer research through the Thomas G. Labrecque Foundation.

One fact that really stayed with me: more than 60% of lung cancer cases occur in people who have never smoked or who quit years before diagnosis. It’s such an important reminder that awareness, education, and research matter deeply.

Grateful to be part of a community coming together to run as one for a cause that impacts so many lives.

Earlier this week for World Health Day on April 7, the campaign was highlighted across the healthcare and skincare industries to reinforce one simple message: sunscreen should be part of your everyday routine.

The initiative is supported by organizations including the Consumer Healthcare Products Association (CHPA), the Health In Hand Foundation, the Personal Care Products Council (PCPC), the Melanoma Research Foundation, and the Skin Cancer Foundation, reflecting a broader push to position sun protection as a public health priority.

And the reality is, we still have a long way to go. Fewer than 14% of Americans report using sunscreen daily, despite the fact that skin cancer remains the most common cancer in the United States.

More than 5 million cases are diagnosed each year, and melanoma, while serious, is also one of the most preventable when sun protection becomes a consistent habit.

This is a reminder that sunscreen is not seasonal, and not just for certain skin types. Daily use matters, regardless of weather, skin tone, or time of year. At the end of the day, this is one of the simplest and most effective things we can do for long-term skin health.

Such a great evening at Circana’s () NYC headquarters for a CEW () event on TikTok trends in beauty.

It was especially interesting to hear that TikTok-driven purchasing is not just coming from Gen Z, but also from millennials and Gen X, a reminder of how powerful the platform has become across generations.

I also loved hearing that K-beauty brands are dominating on TikTok Shop, and was so happy to see one of my favorite brands, Laneige (), on the list.

Circana does important work helping brands and retailers understand consumer behavior, market shifts, and what is really driving purchase decisions, and last night’s conversation made it clear just how much social commerce is shaping the future of beauty.

April is Rosacea Awareness Month! If you’ve ever dealt with persistent redness, flushing, or sensitivity, you’re not alone. Over 16 million people in the U.S. and more than 415 million worldwide live with rosacea, a chronic and often misunderstood condition that can significantly impact quality of life.

Rosacea is more than just redness and it can present with visible blood vessels, stinging or burning, flushing, and acne-like breakouts. Because it’s a complex condition with no single cause or cure, management often involves a combination approach tailored to each patient.

While skincare and prescription therapies play an important role, laser treatments are often one of the most effective options for targeting persistent redness and visible vessels.

At our office, we use the Vbeam Pulsed Dye Laser (PDL), a well-established treatment that selectively targets dilated blood vessels without damaging surrounding skin. It’s precise, well tolerated, and requires minimal downtime, with many patients noticing visible improvement after a series of treatments.

Sun protection is also key because UV exposure is one of the most common triggers for rosacea flares. Consistent daily sunscreen use is essential in maintaining results and preventing worsening redness.

If you’ve been struggling with rosacea or redness-prone skin, this is a great time to better understand your triggers and explore treatment options that work for you! Early diagnosis and a consistent, personalized plan can make a meaningful difference.

Happy Easter to everyone celebrating!

Hope you are getting a chance to slow down, spend time with the people you love, and enjoy some of the traditions that make today meaningful. I had the chance to attend an Easter brunch earlier, which was a really nice way to pause and take in the day.

Wishing you a great Easter weekend, however you choose to spend it.

Thank you to Vaseline for sending this over!

Vaseline is one of those staples I find myself recommending all the time, especially for things like chafing during runs, barrier repair, and protecting irritated skin.

It’s nice to see the classic Healing Jelly in a tube format, along with a few newer versions that are easy to keep on hand throughout the day. Appreciate the thoughtful package!

Chag Pesach Sameach! To everyone celebrating, a meaningful and joyful Passover.

Wishing you time to slow down, gather around the table, and take part in traditions passed down for generations, while reflecting on themes that still feel relevant today, gratitude and renewal.

Looking forward to attending a Passover Seder and sharing in these traditions.

Whether you're hosting a big Seder or keeping it intimate, I hope it's filled with warmth, good food, and people you love.

Happy Doctor’s Day! Had such a great time at the annual American Academy of Dermatology Annual Meeting in Denver, where I gave a product theater for Classys on their new monopolar RF device, Everesse, which is helping lead the way for K-beauty devices in the U.S.

It was also so exciting to see so many K-beauty companies represented throughout the exhibit hall, including Peach Slices, Hero Cosmetics, Anua, Dr. Reju-All, and Glow Recipe.

I also had the pleasure of meeting Christine Chang, Co-CEO of Glow Recipe, in person.

Proud to be Korean and so inspired by the global impact and innovation coming out of Korea!
