15 Minute Beauty

Hello! I’m Christine, a Pediatric Critical Care physician based in the Midwest. I’m happily married to a wonderful husband, and together we have two delightful little girls who keep me on my toes. I don’t often talk about them here, but they certainly fill my days with joy and challenges as I strive to be the best mom I can be (even if I don’t always succeed!). I’ve always had a passion for products. Back in high school, my collection of Lip Smackers was extensive, and I experimented with numerous varieties of Noxema—because who can settle for just the original? I'm drawn to new Makeup and Skin Care products, and I love trying them out. It's just part of who I am! Most mornings, I find myself racing against the clock to get ready. I’m definitely not a morning person, so I value every extra minute of sleep. However, I still want to make an effort each day. I aim to strike a balance between looking put-together and not overdoing it. I’m not ready to give up on that yet! 15 Minute Beauty began as a way for me to share my thoughts on beauty products without cluttering other blogs. I enjoy diving into the science behind why certain products work (or don’t work) and passing that knowledge on. The idea that pores can open and close? That’s just a myth that drives me crazy! My hope is that I can guide my readers toward fantastic products, help them avoid the not-so-great ones, and provide insights into the science of beauty!
