Frequent patient questions include the correct order to apply skincare products, how often to scrub the face, sunscreen necessity, and whether to pop pimples. Dermatologists warn against popping pimples and emphasize consistent sunscreen use while calling out recurring misinformation from social media. Nightly face washing is important because the face accumulates exposure to elements, smoke, pollution, and buildup of sweat. The panel of six board-certified dermatologists provides science-backed guidance and clarifies common myths. The experts include Dr Doris Day, Dr Corey L Hartman, Dr Divya Shokeen, Dr Mamina Turegano, Dr Claire Wolinsky, and Dr Josh Zeichner, with academic and clinical roles.
For instance: do I really need to wear sunscreen? I feel like we've given you all the reasons why, and debunked all the different myths and all the reasons from TikTok why you shouldn't wear it, but as soon as you clear one [post or video], another one pops up, says Dr Corey L Hartman, a dermatologist in Birmingham, Alabama.
But if you're ready for some hard truths (no, you should not pop that pimple) our panel of six expert dermatologists gave us all the science-backed answers that you won't always get from your favorite influencer. Meet the experts: Dr Doris Day, a board-certified dermatologist in New York City and clinical associate professor of dermatology at New York University Langone medical center. Dr Corey L Hartman, a board-certified dermatologist based in Birmingham, Alabama, and adjunct associate professor of dermatology at UAB Heersink School of Medicine.
