Dermatologist Shreya Bastakoti highlights the need for location-specific skincare routines in Nepal. The country’s varied geography—from the polluted Kathmandu valley to the humid Tarai region and the high-altitude mountains—presents unique challenges for skin health. Exposure to pollution in cities, humidity in the lowlands, and intense UV radiation at higher elevations all require different approaches to skincare. Bastakoti emphasizes that a one-size-fits-all skincare regimen is ineffective in Nepal’s diverse climate. Adapting your routine to your specific environment is crucial for maintaining healthy skin. This means considering factors like humidity levels, air quality, and sun exposure when choosing products and practices.
