[PSA] Give yourself the gift of a proper Instagram community.

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I confess I'm tipsy. And whether this post is worthwhile is likely a question worth some debate. Nevertheless, I feel compelled to share what I think is an invaluable resource.Let me preface this by saying that, for me, Instagram epitomizes the worst of social media. The focus on vanity and the obfuscation of imperfections is toxic--full stop. No one has ever been served well by the inundation of images that implicitly assert the attainability of physical perfection. Instagram is the breeding ground for photoshopped images of everything ranging from meals to skin.That said, because of the platform's popularity, many remarkable content creators have taken to it in an effort to capitalize on the accessibility and appeal of the forum for the sake of communicating valuable information and perspectives. #scicomm was a novel concept to me. "Science communication" was something I'd never thought about. But, in fact, there are tons of people who dedicate their Instagram presence to the dissemination and promulgation of factual information on ranges of subjects.Most relevant to this community? The host of cosmetic chemists, estheticians, and dermatologists generous enough to bless us with their knowledge in a format that is accessible and readily integrated into our daily media consumption.I highly recommend investigating some of the accounts that I'll list below. The content they offer is both entertaining and informative. They challenge their followers to challenge the noise they're often bombarded with through appeal to science and available data.If you're interested in skincare, I highly recommend you consider looking at the following accounts:drsambuntingdr.somaskinpiamoominranellamddermangelocharlotteparlerdr.ginzadermatology_demystifiedskinperspectivetheecowellandymillward_the_skintellectualsdrpatalayveronicagorgeoisshereeneidrissdremmawedgeworthlabmuffinbeautysciencenadinebaggotcarolinehironsConnecting with these accounts will allow the algorithms to suggest other valuable accounts, not all of which I've mentioned. I've created a separate Instagram account for the sake of consuming this media because I love it all but I want to be able to fully detach from the vapid nonsense that seems to characterize "personal" Instagram.I hope this was helpful and that it in some way opens the eyes of some to a world on Instagram that, in my opinion, is invaluable in an age of misinformation.Best
