My Story!

My passion for Skin Science began the day I learned that skin is our largest organ.  I couldn't believe it took over 20 years to learn that!  Throughout my personal and professional adventures, I realized that like me, many people don't know skin is our largest organ nor do they make the connection between skin health and their overall health.  I founded Dr. Jen Knows Skin to educate people about the importance of skin health. 

My skin education mission evolved after becoming a mom.  I have experienced the magic of home birth and the heartbreak of miscarriage.  I stumbled my way through vitamin D deficiency, postpartum depression, prolonged hair loss, inflammation and xerosis.  As a Black woman, some of my pregnancy experiences left me feeling confused, angry, unsafe and misunderstood.  My postpartum depression went undiagnosed for years because my doctor brushed off my concerns and told me I was just a "tired mommy".  It took me years to find skincare and self-care tools and practices that helped me feel WHOLE again.  So, I am passionate about sharing what I've learned and giving women the tools I wish I had when I was desperately searching for solutions. 

​

My greatest joy is being a Mommy of 3.  My kids are amazing humans that push me to be the best version of myself.  They are a daily reminder that every day on this planet is a gift, love lights the way and joy is always available to us.

Our skin truly tells our story! I look forward to guiding you on your wellness journey!

​Love, Peace & Radiant Skin!
