22. Skincare or Scare Tactics? TikTok’s Wild Beauty Trends Explained

TikTok is the new skincare bible—but should it be? In this episode, we break down the most viral (and sometimes dangerous) beauty trends taking over your feed. From caveman skincare to SPF contouring and slugging, we examine what actually works, what’s just hype, and what could seriously damage your skin. The hosts dive deep into the pursuit of “glass skin,” the rise of DIY skincare disasters, and the influence of AI-generated beauty advice.

Through it all, one message is clear: healthy skin starts with informed choices, not viral sound bites. 🎧 Available now on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.📩 Join the newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠https://skin-deep-mds.beehiiv.com/⁠ Follow the docs:Dr. Mamina Turegano — Instagram: ⁠@dr.mamina⁠ | TikTok: ⁠@dr.mamina⁠Dr. Lindsey Zubritsky — Instagram: ⁠@dermguru⁠ | TikTok: ⁠@dermguru⁠Dr. Jenny Liu — Instagram: ⁠@derm.talk⁠ | TikTok: ⁠@drjennyliu Learn more about your ad choices.
