Dr. Green Talks Hydration and Sun Protection – June 2026

Dr. Michele Green explains that while moisturizers with SPF and hydrating sunscreens both provide sun protection, they are formulated with different primary purposes. A hydrating sunscreen is designed first and foremost to protect the skin from UV damage while also delivering moisture, whereas a moisturizer with SPF is primarily intended to hydrate the skin, with sun protection added as an additional benefit. She also stresses that effectiveness depends on proper use, noting that many people apply too little product or forget to reapply throughout the day, which can reduce the level of UV protection they actually receive. “A hydrating sunscreen is a product that blocks UV rays while moisturizing the skin. A moisturizer containing SPF primarily hydrates the skin, with sun protection as an added benefit” says Dr. Green.

Dr. Green recommends choosing lightweight, comfortable formulas that make regular reapplication easier. She highlights products with hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, as well as skin-benefiting ingredients like niacinamide, vitamin C, collagen peptides, vitamin E, and alpha hydroxy acids to support moisture, improve skin texture, and provide antioxidant benefits. She also notes that chemical UV filters work by absorbing ultraviolet rays and converting their energy into heat, and she favors formulas that blend invisibly into the skin and wear well under makeup.

Is Manuka Honey Skin Care Worth the Buzz? – March 2026

That is what Vogue asked Dr. Green this week. Mānuka honey comes from New Zealand/Australia and differs from regular honey due to its high antioxidant and antibacterial properties. It is known to help reduce acne and irritation (antibacterial) while acting as both a humectant and emollient to hydrate the skin. This supports the skin barrier and soothes sensitive skin and is hard to source authentically, so only a few brands use it as a main ingredient.

Dr. Green talks about various products that contain this, such as “The Eternal Renewal Regenerating Face Cream from Mānuka Health” which uses mānuka honey, royal jelly, and bee venom to smooth and replenish the skin while helping address visible signs of aging. But notes that while not a miracle cure, mānuka honey can be an effective ingredient worth trying—especially for hydration and calming irritated skin. “This plant-based formulation is hydrating and gentle, making it ideal for individuals with dry or inflamed skin,” she says.

Every 30-Something Should Start Using This to Prevent Under-Eye Fine Lines and Wrinkles – Feb 2026

“Our skin naturally loses collagen and elastin with age, which are important proteins in the skin that provide structure and elasticity,” Dr. Green says on Vogue.com this week on an article titled “Every 30-Something Should Start Using This to Prevent Under-Eye Fine Lines and Wrinkles.” She and other dermatologists talk about the ways in which one’s skin loses the ability to bounce back and becomes dull, thin, and loose, which forms wrinkles in various parts of the face such as the delicate eye area. Common culprits beyond aging, tend to be genetic, but also smoking and sun damage are a cause of this. In some cases, even pushing your face against your pillow on a regular basis while sleeping can contribute to wrinkle development.
