BBC Hindi · health

Social media trends like 'glass skin' promote unrealistic beauty standards, according to dermatologists. Dr. Jonathan Kentley states that 'glass skin' is not a real skin type and is often achieved through filters. He notes that 80% of teenagers aged 13-18 experience acne, a common issue related to hormonal changes. Dr. Zainab Laftah advises keeping skincare simple with a cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen, and consulting a doctor for severe skin problems instead of relying on influencers.
