9 Skinfluencers to follow on TikTok if you’re a skincare newbie

Are you a skincare beginner who can barely tell the difference between a serum and essence? Or perhaps you’ve only got the bare bones of skincare down pat—but would like to start on skincare-layering and investing in actives?

You may already know this, but TikTok is a fun place to start—what with the rise of ‘skinfluencers’ (dermatologists-cum-influencers) who have resorted to fun ways to educate users on the app on skincare basics and the like. Below, we’ve compiled nine skinfluencers on TikTok worth following for their engaging—and useful—content:

Dr Ryan’s TikTok vids run the gamut from quick ways to eliminate pimples to derm-approved feminine hygiene habits. We personally enjoy his blackhead and acne myth-busting via his duets—an easy way to sort through real skincare advice vs Photoshopped ‘hacks’ on the app.

You can count on Dr Mark on unfiltered opinions when it comes to common beauty ‘advice’ i.e. do you really need SPF 50+++ sunscreen?; the truth behind hair loss supplements and more. An avid sunscreen advocate, he often shares his two cents on the beauty fads, underrated and overrated brands to watch out for in the beauty scene.

Dr. Joyce | teawithmd

@teawithmd

Rule #1: Stop putting food on your face, says dermatologist Dr Lindsey. We can’t stress this enough—skip the ‘skincare hacks’ that involve lemon juice, apple cider vinegar and anything that sounds like it could be used as a cleaning liquid.
