Nutritionist shares 5 nani-approved tips for naturally glowing skin; dietitian verifies

Nutritionist Nipa Asharam has shared five tips for naturally glowing skin - all of which are based on traditional practices passed down from her grandmother. On Instagram, Nipa listed raw ghee as "our inner moisturiser," claiming it has significantly improved her skin's hydration and suppleness. She also suggested consuming a banana daily, as it aids gut health and better nutrient absorption.

Castor oil was another recommendation, stating that using it on her face for over a year has made a "huge difference" in skin hydration and suppleness. Lastly, Nipa emphasized the importance of staying hydrated with at least three litres of water daily, while noting that one should gradually work towards this goal. To verify Nipa's tips, we reached out to dietitian Dr. Amreen Sheikh, who explained the nutritional benefits of each item, but also cautioned against treating these traditional practices as standalone solutions to skin health.
