Dr. Green was quoted and featured many times over the years in HuffPost and here are some of the recent mentions there.
You Might Actually Be Better Off Wearing SPF For Kids — Here’s Why: June 2025
“Sunscreens formulated for babies or kids are very gentle and typically do not contain any known skin irritants,” said Dr. Green, and in fact a kid-friendly option might work quite well for those with very dry skin or chronic skin conditions such as rosacea or eczema. She mentions how “physical sunscreens sit on the skin and create a physical barrier, preventing UV rays from penetrating the skin,” and most of the kid-friendly formulas fall into this category. They also do leave that white residue though which many adults are not fans of.
She also talks about the top sunscreen brands and mineral sunscreens – saying that “many pediatricians and dermatologists recommend mineral sunscreens for babies and children, as mineral sunscreen is not absorbed and sits on the top of the skin, reducing the risk of irritation.” Find out more at Huff Post
Hair Growth Products with Dr. Green – May 2025
Dr. Michele Green today in the Huffington Post. The HuffPost article explores the booming market for hair-growth products, noting that many make big claims without substantial scientific backing. The piece cautions that most cosmetic serums and supplements lack rigorous, independent clinical evidence. Experts agree that while natural ingredients like rosemary or pumpkin seed oil are generally safe, there’s limited proof they meaningfully promote regrowth.
Dr. Michele Green, a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist, is quoted emphasizing that while vitamins and supplements such as Nutrafol and Viviscal may support scalp and hair health, they aren’t universally effective. She explains that individuals whose hair loss stems from genetics, hormones, or stress will likely need prescription treatments instead. Dr. Green also stresses that minoxidil remains the only over-the-counter topical with strong clinical support, available in both topical and oral forms, and often prescribed in customized strengths by dermatologists for better results.

Does hair training work? And what is hair training? – Sept 2024
Overall, its where you start gradually extending the time between hair washes to train the scalp to produce less oil. And as is the case with most discussions like this, how often one needs to wash their hair, varies from person to person. “It’s all about understanding your unique hair type and scalp condition” notes Dr. Green.
Dr. Green also mentions that excessive oil and debris on the scalp can also lead to seborrheic dermatitis, a common skin condition that causes dandruff, inflammation and scaly patches. And that “dry shampoo” while ok as a one-off, should not become your go-to.

Is Pulling Out Grey & White Hair A Myth? Huff Post Article with Dr. Green – Dec 2023
Many times you might have heard over the years, pull out a grey or white hair and more will appear as a result. It’s a common myth, explored today in Huff Post where they talk to Board-certified cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Michele Green who was quoted several times in the article, stating “once a follicle’s melanocytes die, loss of pigmentation will occur and new gray-colored hairs will grow from that follicle,” and that ”while plucking gray hairs may lead to hair loss over time, it will not cause more gray hairs to grow, as only one hair strand can grow from a given hair follicle.”
And what about all the hype with new products that claim to reverse the on-set of grey and white hair? “Many anti-gray supplements and serums contain vitamins such as B12, peptides and natural herbs that can supposedly prevent or reverse gray hairs,” she said. “While these ingredients may be beneficial for hair health and growth, there is currently no clinical research supporting vitamins or supplements that claim to slow or stop gray hair growth.” So another hair myth here too.

Zombie Cells’ and if they are Aging Your Skin? – Oct 2023
The first thing to know, is What are zombie cells? They are also known as senescent cells, and are cells that have stopped dividing but have not died. They can accumulate in tissues over time, and are a normal part of the aging process and every cell in the body has the potential to turn into one. However, their presence has been linked to a number of age-related diseases, including cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and arthritis.
Because zombie cells can form anywhere on the body, they also accumulate. When this happens, zombie cells lead to potential issues like “poor wound healing, wrinkles, fine lines, inflammation and pigmentation,” Dr. Green said in the article. Causes of Zombie cells are often environmental factors, such as toxins or radiation, or by genetic mutations. In some cases, senescent cells can actually be beneficial. For example, they can help to repair damaged tissues and promote wound healing. However, when they accumulate in large numbers, they can become harmful.
Prevention of Zombie Cells can also be natural, usually aided by a healthy diet and lifestyle. The article does talk about various over-the-counter products but Dr. Green cautions that there are currently no “human studies to confirm the safety and efficacy of the therapies.”
