What the doctor has prescribed: 5 useful beauty blogs of dermatologists and cosmetologists

We are not tired of rejoicing that the perception of science beauty and skin care are only gaining momentum, and with the phrase “beauty blog” only video tutorials with multi-layered makeup have long been associated. A separate category is the blogs of specialists, in which cosmetologists and dermatologists give advice, tell what you should and should not do with your face and body, and explain how the procedures and tools are arranged. We share the top five legendary channels that are professionals.
Caroline hirons
Beautician Caroline Hayrons has long been popular on YouTube and is familiar to almost everyone who loves the seriousness of skin care. Recently, she increasingly takes product reviews and demonstrates empty cans, but if you hear about her for the first time, you should definitely pay attention to the early videos in which she talks in detail about acids, sun protection or washing with a hot towel: despite that the blogger's proprietary techniques have already become publicly available, it is quite interesting to listen to her explanations. It's nice that Highons is an adherent of a sober approach to the beauty-rutin and not only confidently gives recommendations, but also tells what means he considers unnecessary.
Dr dray
Andrea Suárez is a dermatologist and a sincere fan of skin care, so you can find a video on her channel explaining various topics. During the existence of the channel, she managed to talk about the seven-step Korean care system, vegan cosmetics, make reviews, it seems, of all the fashionable components of modern care and dismantle a lot of myths. Reviews of funds, too, are countless. Even on highly specialized topics, Suarez tries to reason so that they are understandable to viewers with minimal knowledge, and also pays a lot of attention to a healthy lifestyle and periodically shares recipes of vegan dishes.
Dr. Sandra Lee (aka Dr. Pimple Popper)
Dr. Sandra Lee needs no introduction: more than four and a half million subscribers are currently following her channel. A dermatologist fills your blog with content for lovers of acne: on close-ups, it cuts and removes cysts, acne and steatocystomy, accompanying the process with calm and detailed comments. Furious success of the channel resulted in other projects: in 2017, Lee launched a small line of cosmetics, and in 2018 she became the star of her own TV show on the TLC channel.
Dr sam bunting
Briton Samantha Bunting keeps a blog, information from which almost all beauty journalists adhere to refer to: she gives detailed scientific substantiations to what she is telling, and knows how to choose unobvious and special topics. On Dr. Banting’s channel you can find dozens of videos about acne, detailed reviews of the stages of care and even exposure of cosmetic products. The dermatologist admits that she is an advocate of an approach where you don’t need to touch the face once more and apply a lot of money to it, and calls for moderation, even when it’s not about a standard routine, but about treatment or skin care with features.
Dr davin lim
The Australian dermatologist's video blog, who is keen on new technologies, tests complex and not-so-powerful tools and talks about them in detail - perhaps you can find more information on the types of lasers and their applications on this channel than anywhere else. However, there are also videos adored by the audience with the removal of cysts and acne, and tolerable reviews of cosmetics, but when watching it is necessary to take into account that the conversation is conducted from the point of view of aesthetic cosmetology, aimed at wiping out any irregularities from the client’s face.
