Skincare Warning— These days, there is a competition among youth and women to get ‘glass skin’ and a flawless face. It is now becoming costly for people to use chemical products without thinking after seeing social media reels. Cases of skin damage have increased rapidly in major hospitals and skin clinics of Delhi. According to doctors, skin treatments being done without medical advice are completely destroying the skin barrier instead of bringing glow to the face.
The use of high-concentration acid products available in the market and home-based micro-needling treatments has increased rapidly among women. People are applying these harsh chemical products on their face without knowing what their skin type is. The result is that the natural protective layer of the skin (skin barrier) is breaking. This makes the face permanent Pigmentation (freckles) and dark spots Are emerging.
A new trend is being seen these days in the cosmetic stores of major markets like Khan Market and Connaught Place of Delhi. Teenagers aged 13 to 18 are purchasing anti-aging creams and serums in large quantities. Using these heavy active ingredients on tender young skin is destroying the skin’s natural recovery ability. Using these products at an early age is making the skin prematurely old and lifeless.
Influenced by Korean beauty trends, Delhi women are doing scrubbing and over-exfoliation every day. In order to have glowing skin (glass skin), people are taking acid based treatments every week. Dermatologists say that women often mistake the slight swelling on the face due to excessive scrubbing as ‘glow’. This swelling is actually a sign of internal damage and infection of the skin.
If you are also a part of these trends, then first of all make your routine simple. Stop scrubbing your face again and again. Before applying any new beauty product directly on the face, do a patch test behind the ear. Instead of getting influenced by social media claims, improve your diet and use a basic sunscreen and moisturizer to avoid Delhi’s pollution.
