Why I Don’t Recommend Every Trendy Skincare Treatment (Here’s How I Decide)
When it comes to skincare, I get asked all the time, “How do you decide which new treatments are worth trying?” Honestly, it’s not about the latest buzz or the trendiest product . It’s about digging deeper, really understanding what’s happening under the surface of our skin, and being absolutely sure it’s safe and effective before I even think about recommending it.

Endorsed By Dr Alka Mehta MBBS, MD(Dermotology) In today’s world, skincare advice is everywhere. A quick scroll offers routines, productrecommendations, before-and-after pictures, and confident opinions on what works and whatdoesn’t. For many people, this abundance of information feels empowering at first — untiltheir skin doesn’t respond the way it was promised. When patients come in after trying multiple online routines, they often say the same thing:“I followed everything correctly, but my skin still isn’t better.” The reason is rarely a lack of effort.More often, it is because skin is being treated in isolation, instead of being understood aspart of a whole person. This is where the difference between dermatology and social media skincare becomesimportant. Dermatology begins with a simple but essential question:Why is this happening? Without diagnosing the root cause ,
