From 2008, Dr Jaishree became a prominent figure in the magazine industry, contributing her expertise to renowned publications such as Femina. Her column quickly gained popularity, capturing the attention of readers seeking reliable skincare advice. The transparency and clarity with which she shared her knowledge resonated with readers, building trust and establishing her as a go-to expert in the field. Her commitment to never hiding knowledge ensured that her columns were not only relatable but also immensely helpful to her audience.

In 2013, Milee Ashwarya, the publisher of Penguin India, impressed by the way Dr Jaishree wrote her skin care columns,  proposed the idea of writing a book on skincare. Initially hesitant, Dr J  questioned her ability to venture into the world of writing. However, Ashwarya’s encouragement and conviction in her writing prowess convinced her to embark on this new endeavor. Drawing from her vast experience and patient anecdotes, Dr J crafted a compelling narrative that intertwined personal stories with valuable insights. Released in 2014, the book received widespread acclaim, capturing the attention of skincare enthusiasts nationwide

Emboldened by the success of her debut book, the dermatologist received another opportunity to share her expertise in 2018. This time, Gurveen Chaddha, her editor from Penguin, approached her with the proposition of writing her second book, “Skin Rules.” Building upon her earlier success, the author crafted a book that was even more relatable and accessible. Her ability to simplify complex skincare concepts allowed readers of all ages and backgrounds to grasp the fundamentals easily. The book went on to win the prestigious Crossword Popular Choice Award, solidifying her position as a respected authority in the field of dermatology

During the lockdown, Dr J saw a boom in skincare. Along with it, there was a significant rise in unqualified individuals giving unsolicited advice on skincare. As a result, many people were falling prey to potentially harmful recommendations. In light of this situation, Dr J recognized the need for legitimate skincare knowledge and decided to take action. She used her Instagram platform @drjaishreesharad to spread accurate information through live sessions and posts. These interactions served as the inspiration for her third book, wherein she compiled legitimate common questions asked by her Instagram followers and answered them in a comprehensive yet concise manner. The result was a book that allowed readers to pick and choose the topics that interested them, catering to their specific skincare needs. Its non-linear structure and inclusive approach made it a delightful read for individuals of all ages and backgrounds.

This book, titled “The Skin Care Answer Book,” covers a wide range of topics, including skin types, skincare routines, specific concerns like serums, acne, hyperpigmentation, sun allergies, hair loss, anti-aging techniques, rosacea, layering of skincare products, and common skin conditions like eczema and skin infections, etc. This book is already amongst the top 3 books on amazon and seems to be heading towards being a bestseller.

One of the key reasons why Dr. Jaishree serves as an inspiration is her ability to bridge the gap between medical expertise and relatability. She possesses a rare gift of simplifying complex dermatological concepts and making them accessible to the masses. By sharing her knowledge through books, public speaking engagements, and social media platforms, she has empowered individuals to take charge of their skincare journey and make informed decisions about their well-being.
