How did YOUVA MD get its start?
As a little girl, I would diligently watch my mother who was fastidious in her skin care routine. She always preferred to nurture her natural beauty, as she didn’t wear much makeup. She taught me the importance of feeling good in your skin, literally and figuratively. So, when I made my first paycheck as a physician, I gifted my mom with what I thought were the best skin care creams and serums. I did what many of us do – I purchased all of the glamorous options I saw in magazine ads and celebrity endorsed products. After a while, I asked my mom what she thought and she said, “Honestly, there are so many less expensive, simple products I feel work better.” At the same time, I was on my journey into Functional Medicine. I also began to understand how toxins can affect our bodies and the need to address the root causes of conditions that can manifest into other issues that affect our skin. As I sat working from home in telemedicine during the height of 2020, I began reflecting on my mom’s words, my knowledge as a physician, and then walked into my bathroom one afternoon to see the 20 half used bottles on my counter of skincare products and thought…there has to be a better way. I decided to create a solution that would stop my endless searching – and yours too – for the one product that truly would be all you need. Fast forward to today. My dream product is packed with high potency, non-irritating, effective clean ingredients, and sits exclusively on my counter. It’s a powerhouse, just like the men and women who use it. What they say is true… less truly is more.”
What inspired the name YOUVA MD
My background is Indian from India, and I wanted to create a serum that worked for all skin types, especially for ethnic women. YOUVA means “youth” in the ancient classical language of India. I am very proud of my culture and wanted to honor my roots and where my family comes from. My grandfather was especially into Ayurveda and wellness, and it was also a way to honor him and what he was interested in, as well as continue with his legacy.
What inspired the All I Need Serum?
As a family medicine and functional medicine physician for the last 12 years, my career has been rich with lessons on how to heal concerns like skin conditions and chronic medical conditions from the inside out. Over the last decade my passion for healing chronic skin conditions from the inside out was fueled more and more as I heard feedback from so many of my patients that they dreamed for the ultimate inclusive skin serum which is free of toxins, full of pure ingredients, effective for all skin types and functions as an efficient powerhouse for the skin that rejuvenated, hydrates, protects and repairs all in just one serum. So many of my patients, clients, friends and family were on the hunt for the perfect recipe to perfect their skin without harming it with toxic chemicals and procedures. My goal was to preserve one’s natural beauty from the inside out, and bringing out one’s natural beauty and glow, without compromising one’s health from the inside. So, this inspired me to research the top dermatologist and anti-aging expert recommended ingredients and their effective doses and formulating it into the perfect multipurpose skin serum that does it all, the “All I need Serum”
How do you use this serum?
The serum is concentrated so we advise patients not to use any additional active ingredients or serums in addition to the “All I Need Serum”. These ingredients include but are not limited to Retinoids, Niacinamide, Vitamin C. I only advise using the “All I need Serum” and a good moisturizer if needed. The serum can be used in the morning after washing your face. On a clean face, apply 1-2 pumps of the serum on a dry face and let it dry for a few seconds. Then you can apply sunscreen over it or any makeup if needed, and you are set. For best results, 2 times a day is advised. At bedtime, I would recommend applying the serum to a clean face and then applying a moisturizer if needed. However, for people with sensitive skin, we say to only use once a day and work your way up.
