Often video results in a more engaging, more entertaining means of educating. I've learned so much (skincare and otherwise) from my time on YouTube. Here are some of my favorite content creators, all of whom have enriched my skincare journey.
Dr. Sam Bunting
Renowned consultant dermatologist, brand founder, and online educator, Dr. Sam Bunting brings a straightforward, academic yet accessible approach to skincare education. With a passion for simplicity, elegance, and efficacy, she gently, but firmly, pushes her patients and viewers toward "good skin days."
Susan Yara
A beauty industry veteran, brand founder, and established influencer, Susan Yara brings a lighthearted, relatable approach to skincare education. Her more recent foray into product development translates into content that is informed by not only the consumer's perspective but also the producer's perspective.
Lab Muffin
Chemistry PhD, certified Cosmetic Formulator, and established online educator, Dr. Michelle Wong of Lab Muffin Beauty Science cuts through the marketing, the claims, and the like, to deliver piercing—yet humorous—scientific analyses of the products and practices that the skincare community loves to debate.
Dr. Samantha Ellis
Board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Samantha Ellis brings an accessible, down-to-Earth approach to skincare education. Sharing best practices, product recommendations, and physician-informed insight, she provides straightforward, actionable information around cosmetic and practical dermatological concerns.
Dr. Dray
Board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Andrea Suarez has a voluminous YouTube library with content ranging from product reviews to in-depth analyses of the latest headlines and breakdowns of circulating myths and misconceptions. She also provides in-depth, actionable information about specific skin concerns and dermatological conditions. A true wealth of knowledge, particularly for the more "skintellectual" viewers.
GOTHAMISTA
Renée Chow is a gem within the skincare community. Arguably the woman that catalyzed my obsession with skincare, her advice is often incredibly creative and sensible, and her recommendations are equal to none. The breadth of product types, prices, and nations of origin reviewed in her highly-anticipated Skincare Routine videos is incomparable. Her content is also just deeply enjoyable to watch.
