Celebrity skincare trends can often be misguiding and just because your favourite IG girl is loving the latest serum, it does not really mean that it will abracadabra your skin too. Setting facts straight, calling out bad ingredients and even sharing monthly faves is Andrea Suarez or Dr Dray on YouTube. Like Hyram, Dr Dray is one of the most popular influencers when you are looking for the right recommendations with clean ingredients, and it all makes sense because she is a board-certified dermatologist, who might be your saviour when going to a clinic gets difficult in these times.
