Is The Skincare Community Dying Out?

✖ Instagram - @james_s_welsh ✖ Twitter - @james_s_welsh Hey, Today I m doing a chatty skincare routine whilst we discuss the current state of the online skincare community. We ve seen a lot about how the beauty community is dying out or slowing down. I was recently sent a Reddit post about the skincare community dying out. Whilst I didn t open it, I ve seen multiple people discussing this. So today I wanted to share my opinions on what I think has happened to the skincare realm in the last year, over lockdown, the boom in popularity, and the sudden drop in interest!
