TikTok is known as a hub for skincare advice – good and bad – and the latest trend has dermatologists in agreement. “Skin streaming” means reducing a skincare routine to the essentials. It’s a backlash against complex routines that can be costly and time consuming. HuffPost explained the trend while The New York Times answered a reader’s question about the basics of caring for the face.
Dermatologists in both articles recommended the same steps: cleanse, moisturize and apply sunscreen. It’s a reminder that, while the media covers skin care extensively, messages about the basics of skin care can often get lost.
