Can you provide examples of successful social media posts you have created for skincare or beauty brands?
Yes. One example is my recent collaboration with Good Molecules. I created a multi-part content series designed to build intrigue, highlight product benefits, and connect authentically with my audience. The first post featured the branded box arriving at my doorstep, with a short, engaging caption that teased the partnership and hinted at what was inside. It sparked curiosity and encouraged followers to stay tuned. The next post was an unboxing video where I walked through each product, tying its key traits—like hydration, calming ingredients, or simplicity—to my life as a busy college student. For instance, I talked about how their lightweight moisturizer fits into my rushed morning routine before class or how the serum helps with dry skin during long library study sessions. This approach helped create a story that felt both personal and educational. The content performed well in terms of saves, shares, and comments, and it opened up meaningful conversations with my followers about balancing skincare with a student lifestyle.

How do you stay updated on the latest skincare trends and topics?
As a pre-med student with a minor in chemistry and a research assistant at a hospital, I naturally approach skincare with a science-first mindset. I stay updated on skincare trends by following peer-reviewed dermatology journals, ingredient studies, and updates from trusted derms on social media. I’m especially interested in the why behind skincare—how ingredients interact on a molecular level, and what clinical evidence supports their use.
At the same time, as a content creator, I keep up with what’s trending on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. I pay attention to what my audience is curious about, whether it's skin cycling, new actives like azelaic acid, or product dupes. I test products myself, compare ingredient lists, and share content that’s both relatable and research-informed. For me, it’s about bridging the gap between science and everyday skincare in a way that’s clear, accessible, and trustworthy.
