Many are trying to make their bodies perfectly fit by embarking on various wellness regimes. So, what’s the first thought that pops into your head when you read the word ‘skin’?
For most of us, it’s our skin issues—and why not? It’s the largest and most visible organ of the body.

She is the founder and medical director of cutis.in — a clinic designed to get you naturally beautiful skin, both inside and out. We interviewed Dr Goel to unveil the secrets to younger-looking, supple skin. Here’s a look at the most frequently asked skincare questions:
QUESTION: What can brides do to maintain a strict beauty regime ?
ANSWER: Clean eating coupled with a basic CTM routine is a must for all the girls out there. You can also incorporate the use of eye creams and retinol-based serums to your night care routine. Remember, when using retinol, you need to include sunscreen into your beauty regimen.
QUESTION: What can you do for oily and dry scalp?
ANSWER: Don’t oil your hair as your scalp already has a layer of oil. You can massage with oil but it doesn’t promote hair growth. Hence, It’s better to take oil in your diet rather than applying on hair. I would recommend serum over oil as they are more protein-based and have silicon that reduces friction in hair, making your hair shine with less breakage.
