Dermatologist Dendy Engelman Answers the Internet's Skin Care Questions

From Harper's BAZAAR

YouTube's comments sections are always a hotbed of dissent and debate. But with our Go to Bed with Me videos—a series that offers a peek inside the nightly skin care routines of your favorite celebrities, experts, and influencers—the myths and facts surrounding skin care in the comments are on another level.

In this episode of Derm Reacts, we call in board-certified skin expert and the director of dermatologic surgery at Metropolitan Hospital in New York City, Dendy Engelman, to answer all your burning questions on everything related to process, tools, and injectables.

Are cleansing brushes/washcloths necessary?

According to Engelman, cleansing brushes are not at all requisite for your skin care routine. "A lot of people, and especially dermatologists … are actually a little bit hesitant to recommend cleansing tools, because it can irritate the underlying skin condition. So if you're happy about washing your face in the shower and that's working for you and you don't have acne or breakouts or any skin problems, then by all means continue to [not use tools]."

Watch the full video above to see what else Engelman has to say about your skin care questions relating to process, tools, and injectables.
