  "account": "Malaika Arora's 52-year-old skin radiates health and vitality, as evidenced by her recent Instagram post detailing her evening skincare routine. She begins by performing a double cleanse, then applies a hydrating face mist, followed by hyaluronic acid and a peptide serum. Next, she uses an under-eye cream, a lip balm, and concludes with a moisturizer. Dr Shireen Furtado, a senior consultant at Aster CMI Hospital, suggests that these steps incorporate beneficial habits like gentle cleansing, moisturizing, daily sunscreen use, hydration, a balanced diet, adequate sleep, and avoiding excessive skin manipulation. However, she cautions that not all celebrity routines are universally suitable, as multiple serums, facial oils, and hyaluronic acid together can potentially harm the skin barrier and cause adverse effects, particularly for those with specific skin conditions. Dr Vishalakshi Vishwanath, a consultant dermatologist at KIMS Hospitals, explains that peptides, which are small protein fragments with copper ions, can aid in skin repair, promote collagen and elastin production, and improve skin texture and firmness over time. She emphasizes that these components are often found in anti-ageing serums and eye creams. Nevertheless, Dr Vishwanath warns that what is seen in social media videos is only a glimpse of a person's complete skincare routine, which may also include prescription medicines, dermatologist-recommended treatments, professional facials, chemical peels, laser procedures, genetics, hormonal factors, makeup, camera filters, lighting, and image editing. She advises seeking professional advice from a qualified dermatologist for personalized guidance, as what works for a celebrity may not be suitable, necessary, or safe for individuals with different skin types, lifestyles, medical conditions, or environmental exposures.",
