From Kathmandu’s pollution to the high mountains, your skin needs a Nepal-specific routine

Dermatologist Shreya Bastakoti has outlined a specialized skincare routine tailored to Nepal's diverse geographic and environmental conditions. The guidance addresses unique regional challenges across the country, ranging from urban pollution in Kathmandu to high levels of humidity in the Tarai region and intense ultraviolet exposure in the mountains.

The recommendations emphasize that regional climate variations require localized skincare approaches rather than a one-size-fits-all method. By identifying specific environmental stressors like pollution, moisture, and harsh UV rays, the advisory provides residents with targeted measures to protect and maintain skin health depending on their specific location within Nepal.
