Under My Skin

I know this sounds extreme. But trust me, this gives your skin and gut the reset they’ve been longing for. After 2 months you can go back to having some of these things in moderation. Alcohol and smoking will still be off limits for most of you. I wish someone told me this during my college days. Alcohol is not just bad for your liver, it does fuck up your gut health. I had to learn it the hard way. #acne #isotretinoin #acnetreatment #undermyskin

Our hearts were found in the right place. Glad we had the eye(s) for it. Ps: Not a collab. Just love.

Collagen loss doesn’t suddenly show up as wrinkles. It starts much earlier — with changes in firmness, texture, fine lines and how your skin bounces back. And while moisturising is important, it can’t do the whole job. ☀️ UV exposure is one of the biggest drivers of collagen breakdown, which is why I always look at anti-ageing through two lenses: protect what you have + support what your skin is already doing. That’s what caught my attention about @rebloom.cosmedica TimeResolv™️ SPF 50 PA++++. It combines: • Copper Tripeptide-1 — 100 PPM • PDRN — 100 PPM • Broad-spectrum sun protection — SPF 50 PA++++ So you’re getting daily UV protection alongside ingredients designed to support skin renewal and firmness, in a single step. And from a practical standpoint, I like that it’s lightweight, layers well and doesn’t leave me feeling like I’ve added yet another heavy product to my routine. One important reminder: more actives ≠ better skincare. If you’re already using strong retinoids or exfoliating acids, introduce new actives thoughtfully rather than piling everything on at once. Because good anti-ageing skincare isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing the right things consistently. 🤍 #AntiAgingSkincare #Collagen #Sunscreen #SPF50 #SkinHealth

2 days ago I was thinking of getting a bob. The hairwash day today made me change my mind again🙈

AD | Vitamin C isn’t just about the percentage—it’s about the formulation. ✨ When choosing a Vitamin C serum, don’t just look at the Vitamin C percentage. Look at the form of Vitamin C and the ingredients it’s paired with. A formulation with 15% Vitamin C + 0.5% Ferulic Acid + Vitamin E provides enhanced antioxidant support against oxidative stress while supporting concerns like pigmentation, dullness and uneven skin tone. Because with a Vitamin C serum, it’s not just about how much Vitamin C—it’s about what’s working alongside it. 🍊 #VitaminC #VitaminCSerum #Biluma #ad #DermatologistRecommended

I just chose the right kind of hard. If you're dealing with acne, I understand you. I feel you. I know how frustrating it can get at times. Being somebody who is not herself blessed with the "best" skin genetics, I'm gluten intolerant, and even a small amount of anything containing wheat can give me acne. Do I not miss eating cakes 🍰 ? Do I not miss eating croissants 🥐 ? Do I not miss eating freshly baked bread? Hell yes, I do! But I know every bite is going to come at a cost. Sometimes the easiest thing to do is to simply accept your reality and live with it. 😁There's always the possibility of learning how to bake without gluten, like me, and eat as many breads, cookies, and cakes as you want to. No matter where you are in your journey with acne, hormone imbalances, or gut issues, do know that help is only a tap away. You can find out more details in my Instagram bio.

nothing too fancy, keeping the scalp clean, and the lengths hydrated..

Vitamin D — the deficiency almost nobody's testing for 🌞 Your protein, magnesium, and collagen supplements can wait. Your body might be asking for something else entirely. Why this matters: Vitamin D is one vitamin your body can't make on its own unless you're getting 1.5–2 hours of direct sunlight daily. Most of us aren't. In my clinic, 9 out of 10 patients test low. Step 1: Get tested A Vitamin D blood test (25-OH Vitamin D) costs roughly ₹300–₹500 and tells you exactly where you stand. Step 2: Know your range 🔴 Deficient: below 20 ng/mL 🟡 Insufficient/Borderline: 20–30 ng/mL 🟢 Sufficient: 30 ng/mL and above Step 3: Correct it based on your number Deficient range → 60,000 IU Vitamin D, once a week, for 8 weeks Borderline range → 60,000 IU Vitamin D, once a week, for 4 weeks Step 4: Maintain it Once corrected, don't stop. Continue the same 60,000 IU dose once a month — set a reminder for the 1st of every month — to keep levels from dropping back into deficiency. Why it matters beyond bones: Uncontrolled thyroid, higher inflammation, recurring flare-ups, hormone imbalances — Vitamin D is quietly linked to all of it. 📢 Share this with everyone in your circle. Nobody around you should be walking around Vitamin D deficient without even knowing it. ⚠️ Disclaimer: This content is for general educational and informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Dosage and duration of supplementation must be individualised based on your own blood test results and overall health status. If you have any existing medical condition, are pregnant, or are breastfeeding, please consult your doctor before starting any supplement. Always consult a qualified physician before beginning any Vitamin D supplementation regimen.

AD | Sensitive skin + pigmentation? Choose gentle, targeted care. 🤍 Niacinamide, peptides & stable Vitamin C help fade dark spots and even out tone, without overwhelming sensitive skin. One option: Cetaphil Bright Healthy Radiance Perfecting Serum ✨ #Pigmentation #CetaphilIndia #DermatologistRecommended #ad #collab

AD | Retinol burn vs. retinol done right — it’s all about how you start. For beginners: 🔹 Start with 0.1% retinol 🔹 Use 2–3 nights a week 🔹 Avoid AHAs/BHAs initially 🔹 Choose encapsulated retinol for better tolerance 🔹 Support your skin barrier 🔹 SPF every morning is non-negotiable That’s why I’m comfortable recommending @skininspired.in Retinol Night Cream — with 0.1% encapsulated retinol, niacinamide, shea butter & squalane to support your skin barrier as you adjust.

Touch it. Pick it. Regret it. But picking only makes it worse— more redness, more irritation, and even marks. For those sudden, painful pimples… you need protection, not pressure ✨ Pimple patches help cover the spot and reduce the urge to pick. Look for ingredients like: • Salicylic acid – helps target the pimple • Canadian Willowherb – soothes the skin • Centella Asiatica – helps reduce redness 🌿 One such option is Benzac Power Patch. Consult your dermatologist before choosing any acne product. #BenzacPowerPatch #BenzacIndia #ad #DermatologistRecommended #Collab

Diabetes is not just about sugar, but the carbs we consume without thinking, 3 times a day. India did not become the diabetic capital of the world in a day. It happened over years. Here are a few culprits in my opinion (feel free to disagree) 1. Adapting western diet Everyone blames indian food for being high in carbs, but we fail to notice the western crap being served to us at dirt cheap prices (likes of mc donald’s and domino’s) as a result we eat our high carb indian food on weekdays and the ultra processed maida rich food on the weekends. 2. India has gotten rich: There is less labour intensive activities remaining in our daily lives. We can afford house help for daily chores, pay to get our car washed, pay someone to walk our dog. We can afford to drive our car to fetch groceries (or even get it delivered at a little extra convenience cost). 3. Toxic stressful work culture: Let’s be honest, there’s hardly any work life balance. Leading to stress, poor eating and no exercising. All fuel for hormonal imbalances, obesity and diabetes. The obvious solution is right in front of everyone- eat mindfully and exercise. But I also know, no one wakes up one fine morning dedicated to getting healthy. It has to be a gradual shift in lifestyle, if it has to last longer. It’s not about losing weight, it’s about shifting into a lifestyle that automatically helps you loose weight and gain health. In my consultations, when I discuss lifestyle changes with my patients. This is always my first advice— rather than trying to make fancy meals and overwhelm yourself, 1. Start exercising 2. Change the portion size of the meals you are already making on a daily basis. There’s always a step 2. But this is usually where you start!

Most people are not lazy with sunscreen… they just haven’t found one they enjoy using. And honestly, I get it. Heavy texture, greasy finish, white cast… koi bhi roz nahi lagayega. That’s why texture matters just as much as SPF. This one surprised me 👇 ✔️ Lightweight gel → absorbs like skincare, not a layer ✔️ No white cast → so you actually apply enough ✔️ Modern filters → stable, long-lasting protection ✔️ Fragrance-free + non-comedogenic → acne-prone skin friendly As a doctor, this is what I look for: 👉 Not just SPF number—but how well you’ll stick to using it daily Because the best sunscreen? The one you don’t feel like skipping. 💬 Tell me—what’s your biggest sunscreen struggle? (Greasy / white cast / breakouts / forgetting 😅) 💾 Save this so next time you don’t waste money on the wrong one. ⚠️ Disclaimer: This video is for educational purposes only and doesn’t replace medical advice.

Oily skin but still feeling tight after washing? 🤔💭 That’s not “clean” skin—that’s dehydrated skin 💧⚠️ Sebum ≠ hydration ❗ Oil sits on the surface 🪞, while hydration works deeper within the skin barrier 🧬 When hydration drops ⬇️, the barrier gets disrupted 🚫—and your skin starts producing even more oil 🛢️ That’s why it feels stretchy right after washing… and oily again in a few hours ✨ Look for ingredients like niacinamide 🧪, panthenol 🌿, and glycerin 💧—they help support the barrier and maintain hydration In my opinion, one such option is Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser 🤍—designed to cleanse without stripping your skin 👩‍⚕️ Consult your doctor before changing your skincare routine #CetaphilIndia #CetaphilOilySkinCleanser #OilySkinCare #DermatologistRecommended #ad Collab

For the longest time, I thought self-care meant treating myself. A little online shopping here, a quick “add to cart” there. It felt good… for a moment. A tiny dopamine hit in between busy days. But like most shortcuts, the feeling never lasted. I always wanted the next new thing. I slowly realised that a lot of what we call self-care today is actually just distraction. And distraction is temporary. Real change will always be more demanding. It will demand discipline, it will demand commitment, and patience. So I decided to shift from self-care to self-investment. Here’s how I gently brought myself back on track: 1. Break the trigger Online shopping was never about the things — it was about the scroll. Endless scrolling made it way too easy to buy things I didn’t need. So the first step was simple: stop mindless scrolling, stop mindless buying. 2. Choose slower dopamine Instead of quick fixes, I started leaning into slower, more meaningful ones. Want flowers? Grow them. Want to experiment with style? Start styling the clothes already in your cupboard. Tempted to buy new skincare? Finish what you already have first. It’s slower — but so much more satisfying. 3. Invest in yourself The most rewarding “treats” turned out to be things that actually build you — your health, your finances, your skills, your growth. Because self-care can feel good for a day. But self-investment changes how to live your life. And the beautiful part? The confidence that comes from it is not temporary. What’s one way you’ve started investing in yourself lately? 🌱 #thewomanyouare #thewomaniam #investinyourself #motilaloswal

Best mistake.

@eucerinindia is one of the most recommended brands for pigmentation! It’s trusted by derms and here’s why - Post-acne hyperpigmentation does NOT disappear because you exfoliated harder. In fact, over-scrubbing can make it worse. Here’s what actually works 👇 1️⃣ Apply your sunscreen. Every. Single. Day. If you’re using de-pigmenting products but not protecting your skin from UV + visible light, you’re literally undoing your own progress. No serum can fight daily sun exposure. You need a sunscreen. 2️⃣ Be consistent with ONE proven de-pigmenting ingredient. Not 5 serums. Not weekly switching. Consistency > chaos. Eucerin Anti-Pigment Dual Serum contains Thiamidol — a science-backed anti-spot ingredient that targets excess melanin at the source and starts showing visible improvement in about 2 weeks* (with consistent use).

If you have wavy + frizzy hair with oily scalp, you’ll relate- Most shampoos either strip your hair or don’t clean properly. But @naturali.in frizz control combo is formulated different. This combo works because it’s ingredient smart ✨ • Argan Oil → smooths cuticles • Quinoa → strengthens • Hyaluronic Acid → long-lasting hydration Result? Frizz control even on day 3 & 4. Definitely worth trying if your hair type matches mine 🌿 #Naturali #AntiFrizz #OilyScalpCare #WavyHairRoutine #HairCareRecommendations DoctorApproved

AD | Most hair colours still contain harsh ingredients like PPD and ammonia, which is why so many people experience hair fall, itching, and scalp irritation after colouring. As an aesthetic doctor, these are some of the commonest post-colouring complaints I see in my clinic. That’s why I’ve started personally recommending Cuticolor — ✔️ Safe to use ✔️ Effective grey coverage ✔️ Scalp-friendly formulation We used it on my mother’s hair so you can see real application and real results — no filters, no exaggeration. ✨ Healthy-looking colour should never come at the cost of scalp health. 👉 Share this with someone worried about greys and hair damage 👉 Save this if you colour your hair regularly 👉 Follow for more doctor-approved hair care tips ⚠️ Disclaimer:Individual results may vary.

#collaboration If you work out regularly and need to wash your scalp daily, choosing the right shampoo matters more than you think. One shampoo does not suit everyone — your scalp condition should always guide your choice. Here’s how to pick correctly: ✨ Frequent workouts / daily washing A mild, pH-balanced shampoo like @sebamedindia pH 5.5 Daily Shampoo cleanses gently without disrupting the scalp barrier. ✨ Oily scalp, mild dandruff or build-up Choose a sulphate-free anti-dandruff shampoo with soothing ingredients and exfoliating actives. @naturali.in Anti-Dandruff Shampoo contains Hemp, Sage, and Salicylic Acid to calm itchiness and remove build-up without over-drying. ✨ Hair fall with no scalp issues You need a gentle cleanser, not a harsh anti-dandruff formula. @reequil Hairfall Control Shampoo is soap- and sulphate-free, suitable for regular use. ✨ Hard water exposure Mineral build-up from hard water can make hair dull and rough. @detoxie.life Hard Water Shampoo helps remove mineral deposits from the scalp and hair. I have been recommending it to my patients for years and they love it! Remember: ✔ Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp ✔ The right shampoo depends on your scalp, not just hair concerns Still confused?

If you have visible pores + acne-prone or oily skin, a matte sunscreen gel can honestly change how your skin looksthrough the day. 💡 My go-to recommendation: @thedermacoindia 1% Hyaluronic Acid Oil-Free Sunscreen Gel Why it works 👇 ✔️ SPF 50 & PA++++ broad-spectrum protection ✔️ Niacinamide + Zinc PCA → controls oil & helps with pores ✔️ 1% Hyaluronic Acid → hydrates without greasiness ✔️ Water & sweat resistant ✔️ Non-comedogenic, lightweight gel texture And before you ask — yes, Derma Co sunscreens are in-vivo tested, which is exactly why I’ve been recommending them for years in my clinic. 👩🏻‍⚕️ #UnderMySkin #DoctorRecommended #AcneProneSkin #OilySkinCare #SunscreenGel ⚠️ Disclaimer: This video is for educational purposes only and doesn’t replace medical advice.

My Non-Sponsored recommendations: But first let’s understand why using Tretinoin without a doctor’s supervision is a bad idea- Tretinoin is a prescription-strength retinoid and can seriously damage your skin barrier if used incorrectly—especially if you’re pregnant, a beginner, or have sensitive skin. 👉 Instead, start with over-the-counter retinols tailored to your skin type: 1. @thedermacoindia Skin Renew Peptide Retinol Cream 2. @p.calm_official Retinolagen *pregnancy safe 3. @celimax.in Retinal Shot 4. @regalizmedicare Juveskin 0.5% Retinal Cream These options help with pigmentation, fine lines & texture—without unnecessary irritation. 📌 Save this before starting any retinoid 📌 Watch till the end for safer alternatives 📌 Always consult an aesthetic doctor before prescription actives

My honest take on the Dove Serum Bar- It gently cleanses while keeping the skin soft, hydrated, and cared for. It’s dermatologically tested and suitable for daily use. #collaboration #doveserumbar

Morning routine for dry skin- but make it low effort.

If you want to wake up with hydrated glowing skin your night skincare cannot be an afterthought. Night time is when your skin repairs and renews itself. That is why I always keep my routine minimal but science backed. Why I am loving @lumineveofficial • Works with your skin’s circadian rhythm • Time release technology delivers actives slowly through the night • No overload just effective repair I have been using the Barrier Crème with niacinamide polyglutamic acid cica and peptides and my skin feels calmer more hydrated and well rested by morning. Minimal skincare can be powerful when done right. Lumineve has formulations for six different skin types. Comment your skin type and concern and I will help you choose the right one for you #collab #barrierrepair

Your doctor 👩‍⚕️ trying to set your priorities right! Skincare and haircare can do wonders for you- but please remember, alone they can do nothing. Root of all your hair and skin concerns lie with your internal health. Relying on topicals alone won’t solve your problem. I saw a lot of you were commenting on my post on dandruff shampoo suggestions- telling me the shampoo did not treat your dandruff. Anti-dandruff shampoos can remove your dandruff, they cannot completely stop it from coming back.

@dyson owners, please tell me it’s not worth it 🙈

I was just not ready to spend money on a bunch of products so they can sit on my shelf and get expired. I’m not here to make you feel guilty for buying things on sale. I am one of you after all - a consumer. But this year, I was determined not to give in to the urge of buying something (skin care, hair care, clothes) simply because it was on sale. And honestly, it felt good! The dopamine of shopping is good, but the dopamine hit you get when you are in control of your actions hit at another level.

2 Nutrients that can change the way your hair looks: 1. Protein 2. Omega fatty acids PROTEIN -Do not depend on dairy 🥛 for your protein needs. Excess of dairy can be inflammatory to the gut and can eventually lead to more deficiencies and also scalp issues. So avoid having paneer and whey in the name of protein. -Plant based protein supplements are the way to go. My preferred brands: @cosmixwellness @wellbeing.nutrition -If you are a vegetarian, make sure you load up on- chickpeas, pulses, green peas, beans, mushrooms, tofu. OMEGA FATTY ACIDS -Easiest way is to have the supplement. My preferred brands: @wellbeing.nutrition @nutrova @healthyheynutrition @swissein -Target a dose of 800-1200 mg of EPA+DHA daily 👩‍⚕️ 🩺

AD | Do you actually need collagen? Here’s the honest answer 👇 If you’re noticing early fine lines, dullness, or mild sagging → collagen peptides can help support skin firmness. But collagen only works well when your nutrition basics are in place: Adequate protein, Vitamin D, and Omega-3. If these are lacking, collagen won’t work as much. My preferred Indian brand: Wellbeing Nutrition's Korean Marine Collagen (unflavoured). ✔️ 100% pure peptides ✔️ No taste ✔️ Dissolves instantly How to take: 1 scoop daily →in water, coffee or half glass orange juice.

Additional tip: One of the most common reasons for dandruff, itchy scalp and scalp dermatitis that most of you might not know— INFLAMMATION Things that add fuel to this inflammation: 1. Stress 2. Pollution (good luck if you are in Indian metro cities) 3. Inflammatory diet- too much processed foods, maida, wheat in every meal, dairy, sweets (honey and jaggery included) Things that make this inflammation better: 1. Diet rich in Whole foods- fruits, vegetables, meats 2. Antioxidant supplements: omega 3, vitamin E, vitamin C etc. 3. Exercises (quite literally the master of all trades)

AD | 🌱 Still relying on neem for acne? Here’s the simple science behind why Salicylic Acid works better. It’s oil-loving, pore-cleaning, and inflammation-reducing — all in one step. I recommend pairing @thedermacoindia 2% Sali-Cinamide Facewash with a hydrating sunscreen and Niacinamide moisturiser for a minimal yet effective acne-care routine. #AcneCare #SalicylicAcid #SkincareScience #UnderMySkin ⚠ Disclaimer: This video is for educational purposes only and doesn’t replace medical advice.

I have been saying this for years — Inflammatory foods, dairy, gluten, alcohol can worsen certain skin conditions. Now science calls it Gut-skin axis. So yes it's also scientifically proven now (Not the first time when scientific studies are late to the party). 👩‍⚕️ I have been practicing as a general physician for over 4 years now and here is what I can tell you from experience: ❌ Completely quit gluten and dairy if you have one of these: 1. Autoimmune thyroiditis (A type of hypothyroidism) 2. Psoriasis 3. Active episode of hives, eczema, acne or dermatitis. 🔻 Reduce gluten and dairy consumption if you have: 1. Atopic Dermatitis 2. Eczema 3. Acne 4. Seborrheic dermatitis This is only one (and an important one) thing that can influence your skin and hair concerns. But 200% times, bad skin / hair is a reflection of your internal health. Try not to ignore if and seek help when in doubt!

Answering the most asked question..

✨ Essential Nutrients for Hair Growth (Save this!) Healthy hair starts from within, and not just from what you apply on top 🌿✨
Here’s what I recommend as an aesthetic doctor: 1️⃣ Balanced Diet
Focus on non-inflammatory proteins, healthy fats, and plenty of vegetables + fruits.
Keep grains as a small portion of your plate for better metabolic + hair health. 2️⃣ Vitamin D
One of the most common deficiencies I see in patients with hair fall.
Supplement only after testing your levels. 3️⃣ Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Helps reduce scalp inflammation, dryness, and supports healthy follicles. Brand reccos- @nutrova @wellbeing.nutrition @healthyheynutrition @sportsresearch 4️⃣ Protein Intake
If you struggle to meet your daily requirement, a good-quality protein supplement can help. brand reccos. @wellbeing.nutrition vegan protein, @cosmixwellness protein pro. 
✨ Remember: your hair is made of protein! Low protein in your body means brittle, dull, weak hair.

Dealing with an oily, itchy, or flaky scalp? 😣 
These 3 scalp-care hacks will help you balance oil, calm irritation, and reduce flakes : 💡 Hack 1: Cut down on inflammatory foods + habits (Reduce maida, dairy, sweets, smoking, alcohol etc).
🧴 Hack 2: Use an antidandruff shampoo twice a week — zinc pyrithione, selenium sulphide, ketoconazole, or salicylic acid work best. My preferred shampoo is Selsun or Saldan anti-dandruff shampoos.
💦 Hack 3: Try a cold water rinse! Just like ice water dunks calm your face, cold water reduces flaking of your scalp, soothes irritation and additionally seals your hair cuticle- giving you healthy calm scalp and frizz free hair.

Biggest skincare myth I believed for years: “Oily skin doesn’t need moisturiser. ” 🚫 In reality, skipping moisturiser triggers more oil production. Skipped moisturiser after facewash → Squeaky clean & dry skin → Skin produces more oil to compensate → Excess oil and clogged pores → Acne Choosing the right moisturiser is the key. You can try the @drsheths Oil-Free Moisturiser, specially formulated for oily skin. It’s lightweight, non-greasy, and packed with the skin-brightening & pigment-fighting benefits of Kojic Acid and Kesar. Save this reel to remind yourself — oily skin needs hydration, not neglect! ⚠ Disclaimer: This video is for educational purposes only and doesn’t replace medical advice.
