Expert Dermatological Insights in the Media
I share my knowledge through national publications to help you separate facts from internet trends. My goal is simple: helping you understand what your skin actually needs.
I was featured in the Hindustan Times for my insights on using honey in skincare. I shared some simple, effective DIY hacks, like using honey as a toner base or mixing it with fruit, to achieve a natural glow. It is wonderful to see ancient ingredients validated by modern science.
With the Paris Olympics in the spotlight, the Hindustan Times asked for my opinion on wearing makeup while playing sports. I explained how heavy, oil-based products can clog pores and advised opting for minimal, water-based, or oil-free alternatives to keep skin healthy while active.
In this feature for Healthshots, I shared five DIY summer fruit face packs to help combat dull skin. Fruits like papaya, watermelon, and pineapple are rich in vitamins and enzymes that can naturally exfoliate and brighten the skin. These are great additions to your regular skincare routine.
For this ETimes article, I provided tips on how to get smooth underarms, a common concern during summer. I discussed the importance of gentle exfoliation, proper hydration, and choosing the right hair removal methods to prevent irritation and darkening.
I spoke with the Times of India about the best facials for the summer season. I recommended treatments that focus on deep cleansing, hydration, and managing oiliness, which are common issues in hot and humid weather.
About As Seen In The Media
People often come to my clinic having tried five different DIY remedies because of a trending social media reel. When I write for publications like the Hindustan Times or Times of India, my goal is the same as it is in my consultation room: to give you the scientific facts behind your skin concerns so you can stop guessing and start healing.
In a world where everyone is an influencer and every new product is marketed as a miracle, it is easy to get lost. When I contribute to news outlets and health portals, I am not just sharing skincare hacks. I am trying to provide a medical perspective on what actually works for Indian skin.
Take the obsession with viral face packs or trending ingredients. Aaj hum baat karte hain (Today we talk about) why that matters. Many patients walk into my Dwarka clinic having irritated their barrier because of a trend they saw online. My media features are an extension of my clinical practice. Whether it is discussing the science of using honey for hydration or the safety of wearing makeup during intense sports, I aim to strip away the fluff.
I believe that a well-informed patient is a patient who gets better results. When you read an article where I discuss skin brightening, UV protection, or seasonal skincare, treat it as a primer for our future consultation. It is about understanding the why—why certain ingredients irritate your skin, why hormonal acne needs internal correction rather than just a facewash, and why medical-grade facials offer more than just a temporary glow.
If you have read one of my articles and it resonated with you, that is the best place to start our conversation. You do not need another viral hack; you need a diagnosis that is sahi (right) for your unique skin type. Let’s stop following trends and start looking at what your skin actually needs.
