Why don’t Indians get “glass skin” as easily as Korean skincare promises? Top dermatologist Dr. Malavika Kohli explains how Indian skin differs, why pigmentation behaves differently, and what actually works for healthier, glowing skin.

In this conversation, Dr. Kohli breaks down Indian skincare from the basics to advanced anti-ageing. She explains why Indian skin tends to be thicker, oilier and more pigmented, how Korean skincare translates to Indian skin, when to start retinol, how collagen changes with age, and why sunscreen is one of the most important steps in preventing pigmentation and premature ageing.

The episode also covers acne and acne scars, dark circles, under-eye puffiness, sensitive and combination skin, pregnancy skincare, menopause and skin ageing, hard water, home remedies, LED masks, toners, snail mucin, moisturisers and how to build a simple skincare routine without overloading your skin.

Whether you are dealing with pigmentation, acne, ageing, dull skin or simply trying to understand which skincare products actually matter, this conversation offers a dermatologist-led guide to caring for Indian skin at every age.
