Dr. Pimple Popper Responds to Popular TikTok Skincare Trends

The recent trend of the caveman skincare method, popularized by TikToker Tia Zakher, involves not using any skincare products or water on the face to rebuild the skin barrier. However, dermatologists like Lee and the SLDM Skin Care founder caution against this approach. They highlight that not cleansing the skin can lead to more acne and other issues. Lee emphasizes the importance of simple skincare routines, recommending basic essentials like sunscreen and retinol, particularly for those concerned about aging or acne. She also suggests that discovering what works for your skin can be an enjoyable process.
