Featured in Wall Street Journal

Dr. Green has been featured several times in WSJ (The Wall Street Journal) including the following quotes and mentions:

The Best Makeup Removers, According to Dermatologists and Estheticians – https://www.wsj.com/buyside/wellness/personal-care/best-makeup-removers

The article explains that the best makeup remover depends both on your skin type and the type of makeup you wear. It highlights micellar waters, bi-phase removers, cleansing balms and cleansing oils as the main categories experts recommend. Micellar water is presented as a good everyday option because it is water-based and “contains tiny detergent molecules called micelles, which lift impurities from the skin,” making it suitable for most skin types and effective for light makeup.

Bi-phase removers, which combine oil and water, are recommended for stubborn waterproof products like mascara and liquid lipstick, though experts caution that they can sometimes feel greasy or leave behind residue that sensitive or acne-prone skin may not tolerate well. The piece also emphasizes cleansing balms as especially effective for long-wear or waterproof makeup because they emulsify with water and remove makeup without harsh rubbing. As Dr. Green explains, “Balms are very nourishing and are excellent for long-wear makeup removal.”

Dr. Green Talks About Face & Body Sunscreens with WSJ – https://www.michelegreenmd.com/press-coverage/dr-green-talks-about-face-body-sunscreens-with-wsj 

Facial and body sunscreens differ in formulation. Facial skin is more sensitive, so face sunscreens tend to be gentler, more hydrating, and makeup-friendly. Body sunscreens are thicker, often more fragrant, and more water-resistant — better for swimming or sweating. While you can use a face sunscreen on your body, it’s not economical given the smaller sizes and higher cost. Going the other direction (body sunscreen on your face) isn’t recommended due to the potential for irritation.

“The skin on your face is more sensitive than the skin on your body, which is why specific facial sunscreens are recommended instead of using your body sunscreen [on your face],” explains Dr. Michele Green in “The Best Body Sunscreens, According to Dermatologists” at WSJ.  The piece talks about how daily sunscreen use matters beyond just beach days — it helps prevent skin cancer and aging. Since 80% of UV rays pass through clouds, SPF is important year-round, even on overcast days. Indoors isn’t totally safe either: windows block UVB rays but let UVA rays through, so wearing sunscreen near windows or while driving is still worthwhile.
