In 2021, there’s no doubt that glowing skin is in. Being almost a year into quarantine and wearing masks in public places, it’s been becoming more normal to rock a bare-face (& inevitable maskne) on most days. Embracing natural beauty is on the rise, and so are skinfluencers all over Instagram and Tiktok. In a sea of “skinfluencers,” there may be a lot of different information spreading around social media that may leave us even more confused about what’s “right” or “wrong” for our skin. Jade rollers? Witch hazel? Microbeads? What does the dermatologist think?

Here are 5 Asian dermatologists that bring skin and science together to help you be more informed & practice the best self care habits for your skin!

2. Dr. Mamina Turegano

#stitch with @faith allison Throwback to another one of my favorite tips for acne-prone skin! Benzoyl peroxide is one of the top acne-fighting ingredients out there. But it can be irritating for many people. A cleanser can be better tolerated than a leave-on product. Benzoyl peroxide washes are also great for the back because that skin can tolerate BP better than the face, but there are some more gentle BP cleanser options for the face out there. #acne #benzoylperoxide #acnewash #skincare #acnejourney #skintips #dermatologist #drmamina
