Skincare has soared in popularity recently, and for a good reason—everyone can benefit from taking care of their skin.

We need to have a routine that works to address our own skincare goals, such as preventing sun damage, clearing pores, correcting hyperpigmentation or maintaining skin health.

As with any new trend, it's hard to decide which advice is best for you when millions of people suggest different products and routines. The skincare hashtag has 202.2 billion views on TikTok and over 63 million posts on Instagram. There are 18-step routines with cleaners, moisturizers, serums, exfoliators, toners and more. Skincare influencers offer sound advice but aren't licensed to do so, and may give advice that harms more than helps.

But qualified estheticians and dermatologists have established themselves as knowledgeable sources on social media. You can find threads of skincare advice, brand recommendations and most-asked questions on their Twitter accounts. These skincare experts will have your skin glowing in no time.
