Have you ever wondered why a skincare product works wonderfully for one person but causes irritation or shows little to no results for someone else? In this episode of the Skin O Hair Clinic Podcast, Dr. KC Dharam Kumar explains why skincare results can vary significantly from person to person and why there is no single skincare routine that works for everyone.
As part of the Dermatology Centres in BTM Layout, Dr. KC Dharam Kumar discusses how factors such as skin type, sensitivity, oil production, pigmentation, age, hormones, lifestyle, climate, and existing skin conditions can influence how your skin responds to a product. He also explains why two people with similar-looking skin concerns may actually have completely different underlying causes.
From following a friend’s skincare routine to copying products recommended by celebrities and influencers, this episode highlights why personalised skincare is more important than simply following popular routines. Understanding your own skin and choosing products based on your individual needs can help you make better skincare decisions.
FAQ’s
1. Why does the same skincare product work differently for different people?
Everyone’s skin is different. Factors such as skin type, sensitivity, oil production, age, hormones, and existing skin conditions can influence how the skin responds to a product.
2. Can skin type affect the results of a skincare product?
Yes. A product suitable for oily skin may not be appropriate for someone with dry or sensitive skin and may cause dryness or irritation.
3. Why shouldn’t I copy my friend’s skincare routine?
Your friend’s skin concerns, skin type, and underlying causes may be different from yours. A routine that works for them may not provide the same results for you.
4. Can climate and lifestyle affect how my skin responds to products?
Yes. Factors such as weather, humidity, sun exposure, diet, stress, sleep, and lifestyle can influence your skin and its response to skincare products.
5. Why can two people with the same skin concern need different treatments?
A similar-looking concern, such as pigmentation or dark spots, can have different underlying causes. Identifying the cause is important when choosing an appropriate treatment.
