- Dr. Angelo, DermAngelo

Dr. Angelo, better known as DermAngelo, is a popular TikTok creator. He creates content best suited for millennials and gen-z, due to the way he formats his videos.

If you prefer getting your skincare information from TikTok or want to learn the truth behind a lot of TikTok skincare trends, his videos are the best for you!
- Dr. Alexis Stephens
-
Dr. Alexis Stephens is another board-certified dermatologist. However, unlike other the dermatologists on this list, her content is specifically for people of color and people with darker skin tones. It’s important to understand that people with darker skin tones face their own set of unique issues different from those with paler skin. Also, not all skincare products are formulated with darker skin tones in mind. Dr. Stephens is a great creator to check out if you have a darker skin tone so you can get the best information for your skin.
- Nayamka Roberts-Smith, LE, Labeautyologist
-
Nayamka, unlike others on this list, isn’t a dermatologist or a doctor; however, she is a licensed esthetician. An esthetician is someone who attends a training course— similar to a cosmetologist— and gains knowledge about various skincare treatments and skincare in general. Nayamka, similar to Dr. Stephens, provides a lot of information tailored to people with darker skin tones. She also provides inclusive information about various skincare products and how to apply them. Her content is great for those who want to know the best order for their products, the best way to apply them, and which skincare tools to avoid.
All these skincare creators are considered experts in their field. Watching any of them is a great start in delving into the world of skincare. If you have a skincare concern, go see a dermatologist and get specific information.
Remember to wash your face every day and always wear sunscreen!
