dermatologist Dr Kiran says skincare advice from influencers is not beneficial for everyone. She says that doctors have decades of experience backed by study, data, and scientific knowledge. An influencer might say, Put leeches on your body. That will help with increasing blood flow. A doctor will say, ‘That’s gross.’\” Leeches are used only in certain health conditions. There is no data to show that it will provide long-term improvement to your skin, she adds. The dermatologist says, \”Doctors inevitably should win over influencers when it comes to your skincar and benefiting you. No more viral hacks. Let’s operate sensibly with evidence-based skincre and science\” She adds, \”The doctor basically will win because the doctor has knowledge to guide you. It is in no way a substitute for a qualified medical opinion. Always consult a specialist or your own doctor for more information,\” she says. For more information, visit NDTV.com.
