Recently I had the opportunity to conduct a Q&A with Dr. Ratika Gupta, an allergist and mom based out of New York. As someone who has eczema, I’m always on the lookout for tips on finding skin care products that won’t aggravate my skin. I really appreciated getting advice from a professional who specializes in this for a living. Read on to learn about her favorite product for soothing eczema, common allergy triggers in beauty products, and her thoughts on organic skin care.

People in my family don’t wear makeup, so I never grew up buying or testing it out on my face. However, now that I’m a so-called “adult,” I find that, once in a while, I need a little something extra to make myself look just a tad bit more polished when I’m off to a party, wedding, or job interview. It turns out that compact cushions are perfect for people like me who don’t normally wear makeup.

It’s the first day of 2019! I thought it would be fitting to review something that’s meant to wash away makeup, sunscreen, and impurities—including the kind that come from boarding a long flight back home after visiting your family for the holidays. Today I’m focusing on Innisfree Refreshing Cleansing Wipes with Apple Seed. I picked up this 15-pack on a whim when I wandered into Innisfree’s new-ish Midtown East location in NYC.
