Kusha Kapila is one of the most prominent social media influencers today, boasting an impressive reach. Known for her bold opinions and distinctive fashion sense, she has also been open about her journey with skin issues over the years. In a recent panel interview with Mira Rajput, Kusha candidly discussed her struggles with acne and the various methods she has tried to manage it.
Kusha revealed that she first faced acne at the age of 29, noting it wasn’t genetic since both of her parents have remarkably clear skin. She shared that undergoing enemas significantly helped her skin issues, referring to it as the “disgusting thing that worked" for her. After just two sessions, she experienced a dramatic improvement, stating, “It completely cleared up my face."
For those unfamiliar, an enema involves injecting liquid into the rectum primarily to induce bowel movements, which can positively impact skin health. Kusha explained, “A lot of my acne is gut-related, and enemas really helped me. I did it twice; I didn’t want to go back again because it’s a whole process, but it truly made a difference."
Earlier, Kusha opened up about her acne journey on Instagram, sharing several candid photos showcasing her skin’s ups and downs. She documented how her blemishes changed as she tried various treatments. In her caption, she wrote, “Acne journey from January to April. Hormonal acne is a wild ride. You wake up to new skin every day, and it doesn’t help that I work in a profession where I face the camera almost daily! When I meet people, the first thing they notice is my face and compare it to my Instagram pictures. It’s getting better, I think (hectic combination of working out + medicine + diet) but it’s a tease. Every time I think okay, the worst is behind me, it assures me “ruk behen, yeh le ek aur flare up". I experienced my first flare up on my first behensplaining shoot three years ago and as my career progresses, meri acne is like “main bhi saath mein chalungi, behen". I think it’s lucky for me? Is it? Hain bhi toh, this is ektarfa pyaar. I would very much want adult acne to fuck right off my cheeks."
