Delhi's climate is uniquely tough on skin — here's what our dermatologists tell GK1 and GK2 residents to focus on every single day.
Cleansing: Don't Overdo It
Twice-daily cleansing with a gentle, pH-balanced cleanser is enough for most skin types. Over-cleansing, especially with harsh foaming products, strips the skin barrier and can actually worsen oiliness or sensitivity over time.
Hydration Matters More Than People Think
Delhi's dry winters and humid summers both work against skin hydration in different ways. A lightweight hyaluronic acid serum followed by a suitable moisturiser — even for oily skin — helps maintain a healthy barrier year-round.
Sunscreen Is Non-Negotiable
Given Delhi's pollution and UV exposure, a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ applied every morning (and reapplied through the day if you're outdoors) is one of the single most effective anti-ageing and pigmentation-prevention steps you can take.
When to See a Dermatologist Instead of DIY-ing It
Persistent breakouts, sudden pigmentation, excessive hair fall or any reaction that doesn't improve within a couple of weeks are good signals to book a proper consultation rather than continuing to experiment with over-the-counter products.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need a separate night cream?
Not always — what matters more is using appropriate actives (like retinol or peptides) at night when the skin repairs itself, rather than the specific product label.
How often should I exfoliate?
Most skin types do well with gentle exfoliation 1-2 times a week — more frequent exfoliation can damage the skin barrier.
