  "account": "Mira Kapoor, the founder of beauty and skincare brand Akind Beauty, has questioned the feasibility of achieving Korean-style glass skin in India. In her Instagram video, she wonders if such a flawless, dewy complexion is achievable in India's climate. While the look is undoubtedly beautiful, Kapoor points out that it may not be a realistic beauty goal for everyone. Dr. Satish Bhatia, a board-certified dermatologist in Mumbai, agrees that the \"glass skin\" trend is unattainable for many due to differences in skin type, tone, and weather conditions. He emphasizes that skincare should focus on building a healthy foundation, such as consistent hydration, protecting the skin barrier, using sunscreen daily, and maintaining a good diet. The real goal is to understand what truly keeps skin healthy and not to blindly follow celebrity trends. Dr. Bhatia also warns against using \"glass skin\" recipes without consulting a dermatologist, as they may not suit everyone's skin and can lead to body dissatisfaction. He suggests doing a patch test before applying any new products and using sunscreen immediately after any treatment to prevent sun sensitivity. In conclusion, achieving a \"glass skin\" look is not a quick fix, but rather a result of a consistent, holistic skincare routine tailored to an individual's skin needs.",
