Susan Yara is a trash b!tch. She tried it with that Naturuim mess, or whatever her brand is called. She also tried to say she knew more about skin than a dermatologist. She's a former reporter that married well. Dassit.

She owns



I use all her products. Heaven sent but what I love most is that she actively pushes for her clients to lead an over all healthy lifestyle to support their skin health. She’s very informative with her lives.

I hate that she did that because I have tried several of her products and they are really good and affordable. Genuinely good formulas, all cosmetically elegant and they work. Her BHA toner has replaced the Paula's choice one for me because it doesn't leave that tackiness behind but it works just as well and it costs less.

The thing I don't like about her is that she shouldn't have Doctor in her channel name considering she's not actually a doctor. I initially clicked her videos because I thought she was a Black derm, only to find out that she's not.
But her skin is lovely.

I don't really follow any of the Twitter estheticians anymore because the way they engage with people turned me off. And like how many times do I have to see tweets about the same products over and over like Cerave Rolling Ray voice isn't giving what it was supposed to had gave I wasted my money.

I do like Dr Dray and Beauty Within on YouTube and actually just prefer YouTube content for skin overall.

Tiara is the only one I follow on Twitter.
I find her palatable.

Don't follow Labmuffin but have visited her website.

Some are rude and just very obnoxious.
I do check out other accounts from time to time but usually If I want recommendations or opinions I'll just search said issue/product in Twitter.

I tend to check info from some smaller channels. And always focus on things recommended for sensitive skin regardless of other issues (e.g. dryness and acne).

Style and Beauty Doctor had that name for YEARS back when she was just doing makeup.

You dragged the filler out the b!tch lol im living. She genuinely violated FTC guidelines and she should've been fined, I also notice skincare influencers randomly drop Naturium in their videos and it feels like an ad even tho they say it's not. Some of the products actually looked decent!

I really like Dr Dray for her no nonsense, simplistic philosophy towards skincare and she's always talking about affordable options whereas so many ppl will try their best to sell you skinceuticals and dermalogica when those things are luxuries, not necessities. She's the reason why I even have a routine

Dr Pimple Popper is my skin twin! Dry skin but prone to acne, her skincare routine video is actually so helpful. I dont get cystic acne but I get whiteheads and a ghetto zit on my eyebrow every few months.

Fave skincare gurus:
  • Dr Alexis Stephens (she has the glow of baby angels from heaven)
  • Dr Dray
  • Taj Mahaly (she is fine asf LOL)
  • Mad about skin (he's very entertaining lol...)
  • Dr Shereene Idriss (her product recommendations are almost always out of my price range but she offers great general advice)
  • LA Beautyologist (ehh shes cool, I liked her video on oil cleansing)

I literally live in the skincare community on youtube and reddit lol
