Mira Kapoor says achieving Korean glass skin in India is ‘very unrealistic’
(Source: Instagram/@mira.kapoor)Mira Kapoor, founder of beauty and skincare brand Akind Beauty, recently raised a pertinent question that would stop most skincare enthusiasts in their tracks. “Is it just me, or is the Korean glass skin trend very unrealistic?” she asks in her latest Instagram video, referring to the dewy, poreless complexion Koreans are famous for. “Don’t get me wrong, it looks beautiful. Super clear, poreless, reflective finish, but can it really be a beauty goal in our weather?” she further adds. While people keep piling on layers of products on their skin, Kapoor wonders whether there is a limit to its absorption. She writes in the caption of her post that trends might fade, but healthy skin is always in.DISCLAIMER: This article is based on information from the public domain and/or the experts we spoke to. The entrepreneur believes skincare isn’t a race to perfection. “Build the basics, stay consistent, and let healthy skin do the talking,” she shares in her latest Instagram post. The dangers of glass skin Dr Satish Bhatia, board-certified dermatologist in Mumbai, says every few weeks a new “glass skin” recipe makes the rounds, but “you should not blindly copy every step a celebrity follows, as such skin ideals are often unattainable due to differing skin type and tone, and can lead to body dissatisfaction.” Like Mira Kapoor also said, he believes the real goal is to understand what actually keeps skin healthy. “What looks good under makeup, filters, studio lighting, and professional treatments may not always suit everyday skin,” he tells indianexpress.com. According to him, one good thing about her skincare routine is the “focus on hydration and protecting the skin barrier”. Honestly, that is where most good skincare begins.
