SPECIAL FEATURE

DR JAISHREE SHARAD Cosmetic Dermatologist / Author

2020 Goals: My aim is to bring the essence of skincare/hygiene to Mumbai slums and rural areas. Train more dermatologists in aesthetic dermatology. There are so many unqualified people in the beauty business whose claim to fame is huge sponsorships at popular beauty pageants and events, thus overshadowing qualified dermatologists. I also aim to bring awareness among people that a little skin care/therapy can help in being confident. Feminism to me: Means being accepted the way I am, without being judged or ridiculed upon. It means being successful in whatever I do. It means to be happy in my own space and do what I am passionate about. It means working and earning credibility and respect for who I am and having my own identity. It means not being in the shadow of anyone ever.

Dr Jaishree Sharad, India’s leading celebrity cosmetic dermatologist since the last two decades, is the founder and medical director at Skinfiniti Aesthetic Skin and Laser Clinic in Mumbai. The multi-award winning author of several books such as ‘Skin Rules’, was voted as one of the ‘50 Outstanding Women in Health Care’ at the World Health Congress Annual Awards in 2017. She has also won numerous beauty awards and is on the board of directors at International Society of Dermatologic and Aesthetic Surgery.

Cult produCts: Cleanse with Creme Lavante face wash by Uriage, hydrate with Sesderma C-VIT moisturising cream and Fotoprotector fusion water sunscreen by ISDIN. At bedtime, ISDIN Miceller water make-up removal lotion, Obagi professional C-serum on face/neck, and Filorga time-filler cream - a collagen booster with anti-ageing benefits, and Sesderma K-VIT under-eye serum.

How do you perceive beauty for women in 2020? Beauty is about loving ourselves the way we are. Beauty in 2020 would be drifting towards more natural features, being confident in our own skin and with our unaltered features. Beauty does not have to be the perfect features, hair or skin colour or defined by social media and others, but a reflection of our soul. Minimalistic treatments such as non surgical skin tightening, collagen booster injections, anti-ageing creams, fillers to lift your face etc. would be the trend, rather than trying to have pillow faces, duck lips or tightly pulled faces and ape the celebrities/stars. 46  Beauty Launchpad India | 02.20
