When Dr. Chaneve Jeanniton pops onto our Zoom screen, we immediately think, I’ll have what she's having. Her skin beams with health, her eyes twinkle, her hair is effortless. Then she begins dropping the serious skin care knowledge, and we are basically falling over ourselves. We are not alone. The Brooklyn-based surgeon has built a cult-following through her practice and skin care line, epi.logic. She has inspired others to take risks, find their path, and to remember that a fabulous pair of shoes and a science-driven career are not mutually exclusive.
