The #1 Mistake in Your Skincare Routine That No One Talks About! | Dr. Renita Rajan | Dr Pal

In this episode, Dr. Pal Manikam and dermatologist Dr. Renita explore modern skincare trends, the evolving perception of beauty, and the impact of lifestyle on skin health. The discussion highlights the shift from symmetrical beauty ideals to "hero features" and the psychological motivations behind aesthetic treatments. Key chemical insights include the benefits of Hyaluronic acid for hydration, Salicylic acid for acne treatment, and Tranexamic acid for hyperpigmentation. The episode also warns against harmful chemicals such as parabens (methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben), phthalates, and para-phenylenediamine (PPD) in hair dyes, which can trigger skin disorders like lichen planus pigmentosus. Sunscreen essentials are discussed, emphasizing zinc oxide, titanium dioxide (physical UV filters), and avobenzone, octocrylene (chemical UV filters). The importance of patch testing for allergens like fragrances, preservatives (e.g., formaldehyde-releasing agents), and dyes is highlighted to prevent adverse reactions. The episode concludes with a focus on environmentally friendly skincare, promoting biodegradable formulations and minimalistic beauty routines for safer, sustainable skincare choices.
