ASK A DERMATOLOGIST

I am 40 years old and my skin is losing its luster, how can I regain it?

Your skin care check list must include the following. Please check what are you lacking and it's always good to see a dermatologist at this stage to get your customised home care regimen.

1. Sunblock,

2. Vitamin C serum,

3. Hyaluronic acid serum,

4. Retinol based night cream.

5. And a good moisturiser,

I have brown spots all over my body. How can I treat that?

This need to be checked by a dermatologist. We have different treatment modalities including lasers, which are quite safe.

I have too many split ends in my hair. Even if I chop them off the new growth is in the form of split ends. Help!

You can use a good hydrating mask for your hair and cover with a shower cap for an hour and wash it off. A regular protein treatment will help reduce split ends, also be gentle when you comb your hair. Sometimes harsh brushing might cause damage to hair ends.

I have a sun mustache. Is there any way I can get rid of it?

Treating pigmentation in our population is still one of the biggest challenges despite of having latest advanced gadgets at hand. We need a combination of treatments. Sun protection remains the main stay of your treatment regime. Mendalic acid serum with a depigmenting night cream may be used, if your skin is not responding to this treatment we can try laser.

My face dries at the speed of light, does any magic moisturising treatment exists or any home remedy?

You need to look into which face wash are you using. Your face wash should be a hydrating one with a neutral pH. One habit you must incorporate is to apply a moisturiser as soon as you wash your face. Hyaluronic acid serum is really good for hydration, collagen drinks have shown to reduce dryness of skin and also restores the lost luster. We can also recommend an oral moisturiser for some cases. •
