In today’s Instagram era, skincare advice is everywhere — turmeric masks, coffee scrubs, ice facials, and more. While some of these DIYs may offer temporary relief, are they truly effective? Or could they do more harm than good?
At Skinssence Laser and Skincare Clinic, Dr. Ashima Madan, a top skin specialist in Kota, weighs in on the growing debate between at-home skincare trends and clinical dermatology treatments.
Social media, budget concerns, and convenience have led many residents in Kota to experiment with homemade remedies. Natural doesn’t always mean safe — especially for sensitive, acne-prone, or pigmented skin.
Common DIY Risks
Lemon juice burns
Toothpaste for pimples
Raw turmeric causing contact dermatitis
Scrubs with baking soda or coffee causing microtears
These experiments may seem harmless but often lead to irritation, worsened pigmentation, or prolonged recovery.
Dr. Ashima explains,
“DIY solutions may mask the problem temporarily, but professional skincare targets the root cause — backed by medical science and years of experience.”
At Skinssence Clinic in Talwandi, Kota, every treatment is customized based on detailed digital skin analysis and dermatologist supervision.
If you're experiencing the following, it’s time to move beyond the kitchen shelf:
Persistent acne or scarring
Melasma or hormonal pigmentation
Uneven texture or open pores
Recurring rashes or sensitivity
Aging signs like fine lines and dullness
Meenal (27, working professional in Kota) tried multiple DIY hacks for her pigmentation and acne scars. Lemon, multani mitti, rose water — nothing worked.
She finally consulted Dr. Ashima Madan, who designed a safe plan combining chemical peels, GFC PRP, and MNRF sessions.
“I wish I had come here earlier. I wasted months on DIYs that irritated my skin. Now, I finally feel in control of my skin journey.”
