TikTok has slowly become a one-stop ‘shop’ for everyone’s needs. From offering relationship advice, to cooking hacks, to skincare tips, TikTok seems to have everything. Dubbed “#SkinTok,” the skincare side is brimming with over a billion videos from medical professionals and skincare junkies alike, recommending products and offering advice. #SkinTok can be a great resource as you navigate your own skincare journey since going to a dermatologist or trying the trial-and-error method with your skin can be expensive and traumatizing.
