We are learning a lot about doctors in the midst of a global pandemic, and while many of them come to us with only bad news – different ways we are at risk for contracting COVID-19, ways to protect ourselves, what to expect as the global death toll rises – there is one doctor who is still here to help in the best way she can: Dr. Emma Craythorne. She is trying to help us save our skin, an important job, and we want to highlight her work so we can all get to know her a bit better in these days.
1. She’s A TLC Star
Dr. Emma Crayborne is a star. She’s not just a doctor who does her best to help people focus on their health positively. She’s also a star on the TLC series, “Save My Skin”, and she’s a real rock star at it. She has a lot of great advice and insights to offer her fans, which we really appreciate.
2. She’s from London
She’s not just an American doctor – she holds a degree in London, her hometown and place of work. She’s very busy with her clients and patients, providing them with expert advice on skin health. She’s able to help people maintain their good skin and overall wellbeing there.
3. She’s a Dermatologist
If you’re wondering what her specialty is, it’s dermatology. She works with skin, helping her patients diagnose, manage, and treat their skin conditions. She does a lot of good work – for example, she has a job in which she’s able to help her patients diagnose their skin cancer. She also helps manage her own children’s skin conditions, and she’s very good at what she does.
4. She’s a Mom
One of the most important things she will do in her life is raise her three kids. She lives for them, and is not afraid to share with her friends, her patients, and everyone in between, the methods she uses to help with her kids and their skin conditions. Being a mom and a doctor is a lot for her, but she manages it all with ease.
5. She’s a Fan of Aveeno
She isn’t saying this because she is sponsored or getting paid for it; she’s saying it because she’s a fan. She uses Aveeno Baby Eczema Therapy on her own son, who has very sensitive skin and suffers from eczema. She applies it any time he gets out of the water, whether it’s the pool or the shower.
6. She’s Got a Gross Show
She’s a woman with another show as well. Not only is she a star on TLC, but she also hosts a program called “Bad Skin Clinic” where she performs some pretty disgusting procedures – which many people actually love. She will cut into large lumps of skin and drain them, and she’s not afraid to show off her skills in spite of what people may think.
7. She’s From Ireland
She’s not a born and bred London girl. She’s actually from Northern Ireland and spent much of her adult life in Scotland, where she attended medical school. She’s had the opportunity to travel extensively around the area near her current home, which is a pretty cool experience for a doctor.
8. She’s Busy
We don’t even know where to begin with this amazing doctor. She runs her own clinic, is a mother of three, and is involved in an impressive array of committees. She is a trustee for the Cosmetic Practice Standards Authority, Lead of the Specialist Skin Cancer Multi-Disciplinary Team at St. John’s Institute of Dermatology, a regular on TV shows, treasurer of the St. John’s Dermatological Society, and President of the British Cosmetic Dermatology Group. We assume she also finds time for sleep and meals too.
9. She Gives Good, but Practical Advice
She’s old-school and accurate in her beliefs. She is not a doctor who believes you need all the work and all the supplements and all the skincare routines and products. There are plenty of doctors like that in the world, but she is not one of them. She’s on the very simple skincare train, which is the one I like the best — because my 101-year-old grandmother taught me best. Drink water, wear sunscreen, don’t sleep or workout in makeup. Dr. Craythorne is on board with all of that, too. She also strongly encourages her patients to stop smoking. It’s gross, and it’s not good for your skin or your health as a whole. She’s not just in this to save your skin. She’s interested in saving lives, as well.
10. She’s Good at What She Does
There’s a lot we don’t know about her as she keeps her personal life close to the chest, but she’s certainly someone who excels at what she does. She’s got a lot going on right now, and she’s showing us just how talented she really is. We love it, and her fans are sure to continue to adore her as they get to see more of her in the coming weeks. She’s truly adept at a multitude of things, and that’s really impressive in so many ways.
