Eating habits for healthy skin
In an August 18 Instagram post, Sandipta spilled her glow-inducing diet secrets, sharing eight game-changing eating habits that transformed her skin. She wrote: “Eating habits that changed my skin.”
Sandipta added, “I never knew my eating habits could completely change my skin’s health and appearance. There’s a lot to share, make sure you follow. It took me years to figure this out, but now that I have, I can’t keep it to myself. Steal these habits.”
Her top tips? Start your day with lemon-ginger water, eat nutrient-rich foods, limit caffeine, add anti-inflammatory foods, include omega-3s, cut back on sugar, and practice portion control.
Limit caffeine to one cup a day
According to Sandipta, here is what she does to glow up from the inside out:
1. “Starting day with a big glass of lemon and ginger water and making sure to stay hydrated (3-5 litre water) throughout the day,” Sandipta wrote.
2. “Consume a variety of single-ingredient, nutrient-rich foods, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats like boiled egg, banana and dates etc.,” she added.
3. She shared, “Avoiding or limiting caffeine to one cup of coffee a day. Caffeine can dehydrate the skin, leading to a dull complexion and skin dryness.”
4. “Consuming a variety of anti-inflammatory foods and drinks. I take 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil with dinner,” Sandipta added.

Practice portion control
5. She also said, “Never skip omega-3 fatty acids. I consume omega-3-rich foods such as fatty fish. Omega-3s help maintain skin elasticity and reduce inflammation.”
6. “Saying no to sugar at least 80 percent of the time! I limit my sugar intake to natural sources such as dates and honey, as high sugar intake contributes to skin inflammation,” Sandipta said.
7. Sandipta added, “Practicing portion control. I’m mindful of my portion sizes and typically have my largest meal of the day as breakfast or lunch.”
8. She concluded, “Regulating my nervous system before meals. I take a few deep breaths before eating to reduce stress and cortisol, which can worsen outbreaks.”
