Mira Kapoor & Dermatologist Break Down Real Skin Goals"},"content":{"rendered":"

Mira Kapoor, founder of beauty and skincare brand Akind Beauty, recently raised a pertinent question that would stop most skincare enthusiasts in their tracks. \u201cIs it just me, or is the Korean glass skin trend very unrealistic?\u201d she asks in her latest Instagram video, referring to the dewy, poreless complexion Koreans are famous for.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t get me wrong, it looks beautiful. Super clear, poreless<\/a>, reflective finish, but can it really be a beauty goal in our weather?\u201d she further adds. While people keep piling on layers of products on their skin, Kapoor wonders whether there is a limit to its absorption. She writes in the caption of her post that trends might fade, but healthy skin is always in.<\/p>\n

The entrepreneur believes skincare isn\u2019t a race to perfection. \u201cBuild the basics, stay consistent, and let healthy skin do the talking,\u201d she shares in her latest Instagram post.<\/p>\n

The dangers of glass skin<\/p>\n

Dr Satish Bhatia, board-certified dermatologist in Mumbai<\/a>, says every few weeks a new \u201cglass skin\u201d recipe makes the rounds, but \u201cyou should not blindly copy every step a celebrity follows, as such skin ideals are often unattainable due to differing skin type and tone, and can lead to body dissatisfaction.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like Mira Kapoor also said, he believes the real goal is to understand what actually keeps skin healthy. \u201cWhat looks good under makeup, filters, studio lighting, and professional treatments may not always suit everyday skin,\u201d he tells indianexpress.com.<\/p>\n

According to him, one good thing about her skincare routine is the \u201cfocus on hydration and protecting the skin barrier\u201d. Honestly, that is where most good skincare begins.<\/p>\n

So, what goes into healthy skin?<\/p>\n

\u201cHealthy glowing skin<\/a> usually does not come from expensive products alone. It comes from doing the basics consistently \u2014 using a gentle face wash, applying moisturiser regularly, sleeping well, drinking enough water, using sunscreen daily, and getting professional treatments only when needed,\u201d Dr Bhatia shares, adding that only after the skin barrier becomes stable should you add treatments for pigmentation, acne, pores, or ageing.<\/p>\n

A few things first. Dr Bhatia suggests doing a patch test on your inner arm, especially if your skin runs sensitive. \u201cDon\u2019t leave it on past fifteen minutes. And because acids makes skin more sun-reactive, sunscreen the next morning isn\u2019t optional,\u201d he warns, adding that you should skip add-ins like raw lemon as they sting and push up sensitivity.<\/p>\n

While the odd face mask can offer certain benefits for healthy skin, particularly hydration, exfoliation and oil control, he reiterates that it is not a substitute for professional dermatological treatments, a consistent skincare routine and proper nutrition.<\/p>\n

In conclusion, Dr Bhatia says that glass skin look comes from a settled routine and holistic approach, not a single sitting. \u201cIf breakouts or pigmentation keep returning, see an aesthetic expert before piling on more home remedies,\u201d he concludes.<\/p>\n
