How is skincare influencer reach calculated here?
Reach is a simplified estimate: average likes per post multiplied by an assumed 2 posts in the week. It doesn’t include comments, reposts, reel plays or story views, so true reach is meaningfully higher.
Is follower count a good measure of impact?
Not on its own. Aisha Sharma has the largest base (6.5M) but Aashna Malanii (3.2M) outperforms her in weekly reach because of stronger per-post engagement. Engagement rate often beats follower count when picking creators for campaigns.
