Last night, I had the pleasure of joining an intimate roundtable dinner hosted by Nutrafol, led by Dr. Isabelle Raymond, Senior Vice President of Global Medical and Clinical Affairs.

Dr. Raymond shared valuable insights into the evolving science of hair care and the growing body of clinical evidence supporting nutraceuticals in dermatology. One of the highlights of the evening was connecting with colleagues and exchanging ideas on hair science. Conversations like these reinforce how essential collaboration is to advancing research and, ultimately, improving patient outcomes.

Thank you to Dr. Raymond and the Nutrafol team for bringing together such an engaging group for an evening of meaningful discussion and connection.

Today, July 8th, is World Skin Health Day.

This year’s theme, Better Knowledge, Better Skin Health, is a great reminder that a little education really can go a long way. Some of the best protection comes from simple, everyday habits: using a mild soap, moisturizing daily, keeping skin clean and dry, steering clear of shared towels or bedding, and never skipping SPF. Small stuff, but it adds up.

Skin conditions are also so much more common than many people realize. Over 3,000 skin diseases affect more than 1.8 billion people globally at any given time. More than 230 million people worldwide suffer from eczema, acne affects 85% of young adults, scabies affects 200 million people worldwide, and psoriasis affects 125 million people worldwide. Skin cancers are also the most common group of cancers diagnosed globally, with more than 1.5 million cases each year.

And just as important as daily habits is knowing when it is time to ask for help. If you are dealing with severe itching, a rash that will not go away, signs of infection, or anything that is starting to get in the way of your day-to-day life, that is your cue to check in with someone who can actually help.

At the end of the day, skin health starts with awareness, but it grows through the little things we do consistently and through having the right care to lean on when we need it. So today, take a moment to check in with your skin, listen to what it is telling you, and remember that you never have to just push through something that is bothering you.

Still feeling so grateful after the inaugural ACAIC 2026.

What began as a shared vision between myself, Dr. Mukta Sachdev (), and Dr. Michael Gold () became such a meaningful day of learning, connection, and collaboration at the Harvard Club of New York City.

ACAIC was created to bring together a highly curated group of leaders in dermatology, aesthetics, clinical research, and innovation, and seeing that vision come to life was incredibly special.

A heartfelt thank you to our incredible speakers for generously sharing their time, expertise, and perspective: Dr. Mukta Sachdev (), Dr. Michael Gold (), Dr. Aiden Park, Alice Kim, Dr. Carol L. Huang, Dr. David J. Goldberg (), Dr. George Han, Dr. Gilly Munavalli (), Dr. Janet Wangari Olivero, Dr. Jenny Kim, Dr. Kachiu C. Lee (), Dr. Kavita Mariwalla (), Dr. Markham C. Luke, Dr. Richard D. Granstein, Dr. Roger Ho, Dr. Sarah Vickery, Dr. Seaver L. Soon (), Dr. Sewon Kang, Dr. Stacy Hawkins, Dr. Suephy C. Chen, Dr. Suk Bae Seo (), Dr. Tarannum Jaleel, Dr. Thanh-Nga Tran, and Dr. Wooseok Koh (.wooseok).

Your thoughtfulness, generosity, and leadership made the program so rich and impactful.

Thank you as well to our generous sponsors and partners for believing in this meeting and helping make it possible: AESTURA (), Classys (.inc), Johnson & Johnson (), belif (.official) and CNP Laboratory (.official), Blueprint Medicines (), Canfield (), Clinique (), CosmeRNA (), Eucerin and Aquaphor (), Jeisys (), NEOSTRATA (), Pfizer Dermatology (), Skin Health Group () (), Takeda (), Wontech (), and L’Oréal Research & Innovation ().

Most of all, thank you to every attendee who showed up with curiosity, warmth, and a genuine spirit of collaboration. The conversations that started here are exactly why we created ACAIC.

Yesterday I ran the NYRR Achilles Hope & Possibility 4M! Hot, humid, absolutely worth it!

This race is one of my favorites every year. 8,000+ athletes, on foot, on wheels, on prosthetics, with guides, all sharing the same Central Park inner loop. The energy is something else.

And yes, even in that heat, I had my sunscreen on and sunglasses on, because a dermatologist who doesn't protect herself during a summer road race is not a good look. UV intensity doesn't care how fast you're going.

The race leads right into Disability Pride Month, a perfect reminder that the start line belongs to everyone. See you out there!

Last night, I had a wonderful evening getting a first look at Clinique's newest skincare innovations ahead of their summer launch at Bookmarks at the Library Hotel. Ida Wong, VP of Global Product Development, led the discussion on the science behind the new formulations, the research driving their development, and the clinical thought process behind each product, all while enjoying cocktails and great conversation. I'm looking forward to putting these new launches to the test!

Last night I attended Beauty with Impact: The Evolution of K-Beauty, hosted by the Korean American Community Foundation Associate Board in partnership with Shopify in New York City.

K-beauty has grown from a niche trend into a global force shaping skincare, ingredients, and beauty culture, and as a Korean board-certified dermatologist who has built my practice around exactly this intersection, this was a conversation I needed to be in the room for.

The panel brought together three incredible voices: Carol Lee, beauty writer at The Cut and one of the leading Korean-American voices covering K-beauty in mainstream media, Mia Park, founder of lazyskinscience and Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree who has built one of the most exciting Korean skincare brands in the space; and David Kim, CEO of rom&nd Americas, leading the US expansion of one of Asia's most beloved color cosmetics brands. Hearing them speak on innovation, transparency, and what community-driven beauty actually looks like in practice was genuinely energizing.

The evening also featured a curated marketplace spotlighting standout K-beauty brands such as as lazyskinscience, rom&nd Americas, and The Rootist, alongside bites from SWRL Makgeolli, Dirty Water, and Kimbap Lab. Thank you to the Korean American Community Foundation Associate Board for putting together this wonderful evening.

Big news for sun protection in the US! The FDA just approved Bemotrizinol, also known as PARSOL Shield, a UV filter that has been used in Korea, Japan and around the world for years.

This is a huge deal for American skin health and here’s why it matters:

- Broader UVA + UVB protection
- More photostable protection in sunlight
- Potential for lighter, more elegant sunscreen textures
- A major step toward closing the gap between US sunscreens and global sun care innovation

As a dermatologist and health policy advocate who has advocated on Capitol Hill for this kind of regulatory progress, I am so proud of everyone who helped push this forward.

Skin cancer is the most common cancer in America, and sunscreen is one of our most powerful prevention tools. Better filters can mean better formulas, better daily use, and better protection.

Just got back from an incredible weekend in Dallas, Texas, where I attended the TikTok Shop K-Beauty Collective Pop-Up as the medical dermatologist for Dr. Groot Hair!

Hosted by TikTok Shop, the K-Beauty Collective brought together 20+ top K-beauty brands flying in directly from Korea for two full days of product discovery, exclusive previews, and conversations with brands, creators, and consumers who are just as excited about Korean beauty innovation as we are.

We were especially proud to represent Dr. Groot, South Korea’s No. 1 hair thickening brand and part of the LG Beauty portfolio. As scalp care continues to become one of the most exciting frontiers in K-beauty, I loved helping bridge the gap between beauty, hair health, and the clinical science behind it.

This is exactly what being “The K-Beauty Dermatologist” is all about: bringing dermatologic credibility into the spaces where skincare culture, haircare innovation, and science meet.
