In order to stay updated with the current beauty trends, there is now such a thing as a Skinfluencer, or a skincare influencer. These are skin care gurus who share their secrets, routines and discoveries through social media platforms like Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, Facebook or blogs. They are responsible for making our lives so much easier by guiding us in the right path towards achieving our beauty goals.

 

Let us take a look at this year’s top Skinfluencers on Instagram from different parts of the globe.

She shared her complete look for a bridal shower she recently attended and went on to reveal her makeup routine for similar events.

I hardly ever wear foundation anymore, especially during the day. I try to keep things light in the daytime and save the heavy makeup application for those longer days filled with events. If you’re looking for something that doesn’t feel too heavy on your skin, I highly recommend the Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream. It’s a tinted moisturizer, so it’s perfect to wear during the day, and it has SPF – super important! When you’re out in natural sunlight, heavy makeup looks even heavier. That’s why I love wearing tinted moisturizer! Apart from it letting your skin breathe, it also doesn’t look cakey!

It’s really very simple: washing your face and washing your hair are different processes. They should be done with different products at different times with different techniques. With that in mind...push your gosh darn hair back when you’re splish-splashing your face with water! Have you ever gotten a blow out? If yes, this should resonate. Can't let that shiny new 'do accidentally hang into the sink basin, know what I mean?

I've been receiving a lot of Instagram direct messages from you all on what to buy this Black Friday, so I decided to write this blog post to share the things I've been loving! By the way, I love it when you guys message me and I always do read everything, so please keep your comments coming as it helps me figure out what you're interested in! We have hundreds of products on our site, and every single one goes through an intensive filtering process. You probably heard this from me before, but we take a long time to vet everything -- like, months and months -- and put the products through focus group tests and expert formulation-vetting, and we haven't changed that from day one. That way, you get only the best of the best!

Lauren Curtis is the highly-successful YouTuber with over 3.6 million subscribers. She is considered to be one of the industry’s OG influencers in Australia. Famous for her hair and makeup tutorials, travel vlogs and more, Lauren is easily a name that frequently passes people’s mouths when the topic is about beauty and skincare.

 

Her Instagram account is very chic, bright and stylish. One can really get a look into the life of an influencer.

Don't concern yourself with what others are doing around you. Focusing on your competitors and their actions only takes your focus away from creating your own success. Everyone has their own unique path, and what works for them may not work for you. Life is too short to spend your precious time on something that doesn't make you happy. Find something that feeds your soul and it will never feel like work

Because of this, she added “entrepreneur” to her already full portfolio and founded her own self-tanner brand “Elle Effect”.

 
As if this isn’t enough, Elle is also besties with the goddesses of the beauty industry, Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian.

 

Her advice as an influencer?

Stay true to your brand, remember who you are and what your brand stands for. Don't ever sacrifice it for anything

Interesting men's skin care bloggers to follow on Instagram

Looking good and having a skincare regime was never limited to the female population. But it was only until recently that the men have started “coming out” and sharing their style and personal grooming routines. The following are men who are definitely stealing the spotlight from their counterparts.

1. Matthew Zorpas

Named one of the Best Dressed Men in Britain by Esquire magazine UK in 2010, one of the top best-dressed men in the world 2013 by GQ Taiwan and recently crowned as one of the top ten best-dressed men on Instagram by British GQ, Matthew Zorpas is an accomplished influencer in all aspects.

 

Matthew started the blog “TheGentlemanBlogger” which is a guide in becoming a true gentleman of modern times. Aside from manners, etiquette, style, and culture, TheGentlemanBlogger also touches on men’s grooming.

 

Mr. Zorpas is not a stranger to the best shaving cream, beard balms, and moisturizers.

2. John Robertson

John is the owner and writer of the very successful blog “The Everyday Man”.

 

Moisturizers, eye cream, exfoliation, cleansers and face masks? Yup. John uses them all in a strict skincare routine. He expresses how crucial it is to always look his best in his line of work, therefore, he visits the barbershop every ten days.

 

The result is highly acceptable with his fresh-faced posts on Instagram that is a heart magnet.

Grooming trends tend to come and go but one of the biggest in recent years was beards. Men everywhere were spurred on by a new breed of bearded social media faces to put down their razors and embrace the bushy look. In fact, just a few years back, finding a clean-shaven man under the age of 50 was a bit of a rarity. Not all went for the full-on hipster beard though, many (like me) preferred the 3- or 4-day stubbly look.

3. The Dapper Chapper

This blog is a collective one with many writers. The editor, Alex Noble, is not allergic to skin care that others assume are for women only. He uses a lot of products on a daily basis and writes reviews on them for the whole male population to be acquainted with.

It’s safe to say that in the world of men’s grooming, changes have been coming thick and fast for the last decade. We’ve undergone (and are still experiencing) a revolution whereby an increasing number of gents are showing more care towards their facial grooming and skincare. First came the wave of hair products, followed by facial moisturisers, oils and balms, often specifically for facial hair and now we find ourselves in an environment where chaps are openly having conversations about what hand or eye cream they use; and we think it’s fantastic.

Summing it up

Being a skinfluencer is definitely a booming career and business. Through the use of technology, an influencer can stay connected with their audience and give them updates on the latest trends in skincare.

 

What used to be limited to women, this hobby/profession is now being embraced by men, and we’ve got to admit that they are doing an excellent job as well.
