WITH so much conflicting advice on social media when it comes to skincare, it can be hard to know which way to turn.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

But luckily one New York-based dermatologist had collated a few of the fail-safe tips she wishes she\u2019d known earlier.\u00a0<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Dr Joyce is a beauty whizz who\u2019s racked up 650k followers on her TikTok account, @teawithmd, sharing her skincare tips and debunking the ridiculous myths she sees on the app.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And in a recent clip which racked up more than 40,000 views, she shared four pearls of wisdom she wishes she\u2019d stumbled across earlier.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Her first warning is that you should \u201cNEVER put a concealer wand directly on a pimple\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s because bacteria<\/span> from the spot can transfer to the application stick, meaning that you\u2019re spreading the germs everywhere where you apply the product.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Instead, Dr Joyce recommends to \u201capply to a clean concealer brush or to your clean finger\u201d – that way, you can apply to the area and then wash to avoid spreading the bacteria and risking a bigger outbreak.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Her second snippet of advice is that duct tape can help with wart removal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you have a verruca on your foot, for example, you can cut a small piece of the tape and apply it directly to the area.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Once every three to five days, you then want to remove the covering and gently exfoliate the area.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It works because the tape gently fuses to the skin, so when you peel it off, a layer of the wart often comes off with it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to one study, it can speed up the disappearance of the common blemishes in 80% of cases.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There\u2019s obviously instances when duct tape isn\u2019t the best idea \u2013 near sensitive areas including the face or armpits \u2013 but it\u2019s generally an effective method where the skin\u2019s a bit more tough.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The dermatological buff\u2019s next<\/span> no-no is slugging around the eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Slugging is basically the process of lathering your skin with a jelly-like substance \u2013 vaseline, or the like \u2013 and leaving it on overnight.<\/p>\n

According to Dr Joyce, it can be \u201cocclusive\u201d, which means it blocks the necessary airflow in and out of your pores.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This can contribute to the formation of milia: the tiny white bumps that can appear around the eyes, often seen in young babies.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Her final suggestion is a rather straightforward, but often overlooked one – \u201cwash your hands before scooping out moisturiser\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Our fingers are teaming with bacteria we pick up from things we touch throughout the day, and if we dive into a product without washing them first, we inevitably transfer those nasty germs into the pot.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The helpful Dr shared the clip alongside the caption: \u201cIf only I could go back and undo some damage\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
