Liquid Nose Jobs, Dermaplaning, and More of Our Top YouTube Videos of 2016
Oh 2016, where have you gone? As we approach the last day of the year, let's take a look back at the skincare treatments, surgical procedures, and other beauty experiments that intrigued YouTube viewers the most. But first, a recap! In addition to launching Mixed Makeup Wellness earlier this year, we added a new show to our lineup: PLASTIC with Karan Dhir, MD, which highlights surgical and non-surgical treatments with the Beverly Hills plastic surgeon. We also kicked off season three of The SASS with Sharzad and Susan (or The SASS with Susan and Sharzad!), where we covered a ton of pregnancy-friendly topics from facials and float therapy to spray tans and yoga.
On that note, check out our 10 most popular videos of the year below!
