Skin, hair and health - the best course in India!

Your appearance matters—both in real life and on social media—not as a measure of your worth, but as a powerful tool for influence, confidence, and success. It is a major determinant of your value, your ability to inspire others and your desirability as a man/woman.

If you disagree, this course may not be for you. However, if you recognize the undeniable impact of presenting the best version of yourself—both professionally and personally—and want to help your family and clients do the same, you’re in the right place.

“Abhishek provides incredibly accurate, evidence-based, and, most importantly, effective advice on skincare I have come across. And I’ve personally cross-checked all his recommendations - he is far more competent than most dermatologists and trichologists"

  • Precautions and product recommendation - Superiority of concentrated products, layering to reduce systemic exposure, EDC free personal care products and solutions.
  • Other sources of exposure - Fabrics, rubbers, gym equipment, medical procedures and implants (fillings, metal implants, joint replacements and pacemakers)
  • EDC clearance - Sulforaphanes, heat therapy, phthalate binding and reabsorption in the gut, dermal elimination, water vs fat soluble endocrine disruptors, probiotics and binding agents, and the role of gut health.

Module 8 - Teeth, eye Care and Body Odour

We hardly notice our staining tooth, bad breath, body odor and odd-looking glasses - but we immediately catch it on others. Oral and ocular care are as crucial as our skin and hair - a dental filling/crown can keep releasing BPAs into the body for decades!

Dental care and cavities
  • Staining of teeth - Extrinsic (surface) vs. intrinsic (internal) staining coffee, tea, soy sauce, antibiotics, plaque, chlorhexidine and excessive fluoride, silica, peroxide bleaching and dermabrasion, whitening products and baking soda.
  • Cavities, carries and crooked teeth - Bacterial acid production (S. mutans) from sugars leading to enamel demineralization, role of saliva, protective chewing gums and artificial sweeteners, dental sealants, composite fillings, root canal, minimizing endocrine disruption, usage of dental braces and dental aligners.
  • Gum disease and bad breath- Formation of plaque biofilm, bacterial growth, role of electric toothbrush and interdental brush, antibacterial vs essential oil mouthwashes and cetylpyridinium chloride, scaling and dental cleanings, role of probiotics and oral microbiota.
Eye care, vision and  eyebrows
  • Fatigue, burn and headaches- The truth about LED lights, colour spectrum, intensity shape and distribution, visual stimulation, nocebo effect, dryness and glare.
  • Eye brow issues - Contribution to facial aesthetics, management of undergrowth and overgrowth in men and women, protective role and trimming.
  • Vision, glasses and contacts - The truth about blue light blockers, effect on progression of myopia, risks associated with contact lenses, refractive index, material and transmittance of eye wear material, anti-cataract eye drops and non essential carotenoids.
Management of body odour
  • Dietary impact - Looking beyond FODMAPs - aromatic compounds and sulfur rich foods - delayed dermal and respiratory elimination.
  • Preventative measures - Bacterial breakdown of sweat, apocrine and eccrine secretions, volatile fatty acids, excessive sweating, deodorants and perfumes, EDC free options and chlorophyll odour binding.
  • Treatment options - Wide spectrum antimicrobial washes and sprays, anti-odor fabrics, aluminum chloride, anticholinergics, microwave thermolysis and botox.
