Welcome to "Face It," in which practitioners, dermatologists, facialists and other beauty experts answer our rapid-fire questions (quicker than you can say "just a few more units, please?"), revealing their hottest takes, most controversial opinions and the hard truths they wish their clients could come to terms with.

Dr. Amy Wechsler, a New York City-based, double-board certified dermatologist and psychiatrist, is setting the record straight: Acne is a controllable and solvable skin condition. 

"Acne is treatable," she tells Fashionista. "People who have it feel alone and hopeless, and that's a shame because it's not your fault — it's really common and totally treatable."

It's what prompted her and her daughter Zoe to launch Spotless, a walk-in acne care clinic located on the Upper East Side. Treatments include blackhead or whitehead extractions, low-dose steroid injections for acne cysts and salicylic acid peels, as well as prescription consultations done by nurse practitioners. 

In the video below, the duo shares their biggest beauty hot takes, including the surprising body bar you can use as a facial cleanser, why microneedling is overrated and the beauty rules meant to be broken.

For so many who pursue a career in design, it's the memories of watching glamorously decorated films and television shows and ornate stagings of theatrical productions that serve as their initial motivations to enter the fashion industry. While some might be inspired to create their own fashion labels, others experience a different calling. That is, to costume design. Linda Muir, the Oscar-nominated costume designer for her work on Robert Eggers' "Nosferatu," explains that the skillsets required for each career path differ. "If a person goes to fashion school, they will likely learn skills that are more geared toward creating clothing for people to go into a store and buy," she tells Fashionista. "So often, I meet people who would like to work in a film costume department, but they don't necessarily know how to do the things that, if on a period film, for instance, we would need them to do." Whether it's a period piece or contemporary, ev...

I Can Now Dress Like Polly Pocket, Thanks to Lisa Says Gah – Latest Fashion Trends & Style Tips March 28, 2025 at 08:30PM

📰 I Can Now Dress Like Polly Pocket, Thanks to Lisa Says Gah ✨ Fashion Insights & Trends: Editors' Picks are the Fashionista team's true (#notspon) fashion and beauty obsessions, handpicked by professionals who see it all. As it did for most early-2000s babies, Polly Pocket reigned supreme as my childhood toy of choice. Of course, my Barbie and Littlest Pet Shop collections were close contenders (and later my Monster High queens), but I cherished Polly Pocket's heart-shaped compact dollhouses with their teeny-tiny figures. Polly Pocket underwent a major makeover in the late '90s, transforming her from the cutest potential choking hazard to a slightly larger ponytailed doll with candy-colored rubber (read: chewable) clothing. It was this revamped Polly's Y2K-inspired style that influenced my own fashion sense, and now Lisa Says Gah is bringing the toy's nostalgic aesthetic to life as the California-based multi-brand retailer teamed up with Polly Pocke...

Any beauty product you see here has been vetted and tested by the editor recommending it. As we approach the official start to spring and take time to tidy up, refresh and generally reset so many aspects of our lives, I ask you: Why neglect the skin? If you're at all like me, even though you spent the winter months moisturizing dutifully, your dull, scaly arms and legs are begging for a little extra attention. Enter:  Lilis Instant Peel , the most satisfying body exfoliator I've ever tried. I first heard about Lilis — a body-care brand inspired by "Korean skin-care innovation and spa culture" — from beloved NYC facialist  Elizabeth Grace Hand, who sung its praises in a holiday gift guide we did last year . "Nothing makes the skin quite as soft as thi...
