I follow a lot of skincare experts and dermatologists on social media. I started with the famous Dr Davin Lim, a dermatologist based in Australia who's an expert in, among other things, the revision of acne scars, especially on melanin-rich skins. So I know that if I ever go to Brisbane one day, I will visit his clinic. Dermatology is such a cool field, and most dermatologists' accounts are extremely rich in content. Here are some of the top dermatologists and skin experts' accounts I follow:
