Pune (Voice news service):- “Winter is here!” and it’s that time of the year when most of us face skin woes. The season can wreak havoc on our skin — making it dry, itchy, and irritated. At this time, it becomes important to take extra care of our skin.
There are many simple ways to combat the causes of dry winter skin and help keep your skin feeling moist and supple all season long, including some easy changes to your everyday diet.
Read on to find 3 pro-tips by prominent Bollywood Actress Soha Ali Khan on the three foods she includes to take care of her skin during winter:
Almonds: You are what you eat is an adage I live by. My day starts with a handful of almonds, this is one habit I grew up with.
Almonds help me maintain skin health as they contain healthy fats and vitamin E which have been shown to benefit the skin. Moreover, I also read that Ayurveda, Siddha, and Unani texts say that almonds are good for skin health and can enhance skin glow. I would recommend everyone to make the consumption of almonds a daily habit as part of their beauty regime. Whether at home, work, or while travelling, almonds can be eaten anytime. What’s best about almonds is that they can also be consumed in the roasted or flavoured form!
Beetroot juice: I especially like drinking beetroot juice during winter as it adds glow to my skin. Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, it also helps prevent acne and pimples. I prefer drinking cold-pressed beetroot juice as it helps retain the nutrients and fibers rather than eating it as a curry. As it’s a powerful antioxidant, it helps in keeping my skin moisturized. Drinking beetroot juice and staying hydrated throughout the day aids in flushing out the toxins, making me feel rejuvenated.
Amla: Amla, which is also called Indian gooseberry, is one of my favourite foods to consume for better skin health. As Amla is enriched with Vitamin C it helps a lot with my skin woes such as dryness specifically during winter. As Amla is bitter, I cut them into small pieces, dip it in honey and eat or have it in the form of juice. Drinking Amla juice regularly really helps in skin exfoliation and helps remove pigmentation or blemishes from my skin as well.
