Experts Question Realism of Glass Skin Trend for Indian Skin Types
The glass skin trend, characterized by a flawless, luminous, and poreless complexion, has gained popularity but faces criticism for being unrealistic, especially in India's climate. Mira Rajput, co-founder of skincare brand Akind, and aesthetic surgeon Dr. Ashok Patel highlight that healthy skin naturally has texture and pores, which are not flaws. They caution against excessive product layering, emphasizing that balanced hydration and skin barrier care are more effective. Dr. Patel supports skin cycling as a practical routine for skin repair and resilience.
