Glowing skin and a 10-step routine are great, but credentials are better.
how can you spot a knowledgeable TikTok creator? You can check their bios to see if they’re a licensed esthetician or dermatologist, give their name a quick search on Google to verify, and evenby the American Board of Dermatology. Also, pay attention to whether the creator cites scientific evidence in their content.
“I share scientific studies and highlight clinical trials that show support for a trending hack,” Shirazi said. “Doing reaction videos is helpful to decipher what’s fact and what’s fiction, noting the lack of evidence behind information circulating on social media. You have to be honest, transparent, and deliver valuable information.”Many dermatologists on social media make content specifically to combat dangerous trends, and to reach those who may not have a skin specialist in their area.
“As dermatologists and medical experts, we have a social responsibility to maintain a voice on social platforms. Otherwise, complete dependency and naive trust in skinfluencers will result in more and more misinformation,” Shirazi said. “The way I see it is I’m here to educate, they’re here to influence.”
Shirazi’s most important piece of skin care advice is? If your skin concerns aren’t clearing up, find a doctor you can trust — offline.“Relying on [skinfluencers] for education can prevent people from seeking real medical advice and attention. I think it’s important to always check with a medical professional before incorporating any recommendations from someone who is not a true expert with the necessary training and experience,” she explained.
Along with Shirazi, here are some TikTok skinfluencers who are experts in their field, and worth a follow.
