In recent times, dermatologists are increasingly turning their attention to the profound impact that diet can have on the health and appearance of our skin.
While topical treatments and skincare products play a crucial role in addressing external factors, the food we consume plays an equally significant role in nurturing our skin from within. This holistic approach to skincare recognises that true beauty emanates not just from outward appearances but from the nourishment and care we provide to our bodies internally.
“The notion of ‘beauty from within’ is more than just a catchy phrase—it's a philosophy rooted in scientific evidence and clinical observations. Research has illuminated the intricate relationship between diet and skin health, revealing how certain foods can either exacerbate or alleviate common skin concerns such as acne, eczema, premature aging, and overall complexion,” explains Dr Deepak Jakhar, consultant dermatologist, and co-founder of Dermosphere Clinic. To further our understanding of the deep connection between diet and clear skin, we asked Jakhar to answer some important questions.
