Dreaming of glowing, radiant skin but not sure where to start? With so many products and routines out there, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Dr Garekar, a Dermatologist, often shares insights related to beauty and skincare with her Insta family. In her April 8 post, she shared a simple guide to help you achieve a healthy glow.

Lifestyle changes

• Water intake: Aim for 2.5–3 litres daily to keep your skin hydrated and flush out toxins.
• Colourful diet: Load up on antioxidant-rich foods like berries, kiwi, carrots, and broccoli to nourish your skin.
• Exercise: Move your body at least 3–4 times a week. Sweating it out helps detox the skin and boosts circulation.

Supplements

• Omega-3: Helps reduce inflammation and supports overall skin health.
• Glutathione + vitamin C: A powerful combo that brightens the skin and evens out tone.
• Collagen: Supports skin elasticity, firmness, and hydration.

DIY masks

• Avocado mask: Deeply nourishes and moisturises the skin.
• Papaya mask: Gently exfoliates and adds a natural glow.

Skincare ingredients to look for

• Vitamin C: Brightens the skin, boosts radiance, and fights free radicals.
• Hyaluronic Acid: Hydrates and plumps the skin for a smooth, dewy finish.
• Glycolic Acid: Gently exfoliates to reveal clearer, fresher skin.

In-clinic treatments

• Hydrafacial / Aquapeel / Mirapeel: Deep cleansing and hydrating treatments that refresh dull skin.
• Skinboosters: Injectable treatments that improve hydration and skin texture from within.
• Platelet-rich plasma therapy (Vampire Facial): Uses your own plasma to stimulate collagen and skin regeneration.
