Dermatologists may have every laser, serum, and beauty treatment<\/a> within reach, but the ones with that enviable glow often credit something far simpler: Nutrition. Good skincare can\u2019t outwork a poor diet. From gut health to hydration, we asked leading dermatologists to share the foods and habits that keep their skin balanced, their energy steady, and their collagen thriving.<\/p>\n

For dermatologist Rashmi Shetty, MD, author and international speaker, healthy skin begins in the gut<\/a>. \u201cEverything starts in the gut, so keeping it calm and well-fed is key,\u201d she says. Her advice is simple: Remove what doesn\u2019t serve you.<\/p>\n

That means no unnecessary sweets, snacks, ice cream, or dairy. \u201cIf you look at my fridge, there\u2019s no butter at all,\u201d she reveals. Instead, it\u2019s stocked with berries, nuts, cucumbers, and baby carrots for when she needs to munch. Her three main meals are balanced between vegetables, protein (usually fish or eggs<\/a>), and carbs\u2014always rice, \u201csince I’m South Indian.\u201d \u201cI have rice at both meals, even breakfast,\u201d Dr. Shetty adds. For cravings, she allows herself a spoonful of whatever she loves. \u201cThat\u2019s usually enough to make me happy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Jaishree Sharad, medical director of Skinfinitii Aesthetic & Laser Clinic, sees daily proof that what you eat shows up on your face. \u201cPremature aging, inflammation, dullness, slow healing\u2013it all starts from within,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Dr. Sharad avoids processed foods and refined carbs and relies on vitamin C\u2013rich fruits<\/a> for bright, even skin. Breakfast is chia seeds<\/a> with nuts in almond milk. A vegan protein shake<\/a> mid-morning keeps collagen synthesis on track. Lunch is starch-free rice, seasonal vegetables, with lentils or sprouts. Dinner is light, usually soup or salad with berries to end the day on an antioxidant-rich note. Her kitchen staples for optimal skin health include berries, soaked almonds, chia seeds, and spinach<\/a>.<\/p>\n

AIIMS-trained dermatologist Dr. Geetika Srivastava, founder of Influennz Skin and Hair Clinic, believes glowing skin comes from clean eating, not costly treatments. \u201cI\u2019ve seen patients who avoid junk, drink enough water, and cut down sugar,<\/a> and their skin literally glows. They age more slowly and need fewer procedures,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s cut salt, sugar, refined flour, and milk from her diet. Her day starts before sunrise with chia seed water. Supplements like omega-3<\/a>, calcium<\/a>, and spirulina round out her morning. Pre-workout, she snacks on soaked almonds, walnuts, figs, and seeds. At tea time, she allows herself one teaspoon of sugar\u2014her only indulgence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dermatologists may have every laser, serum, and beauty treatment within reach, but the ones with that enviable glow…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":283910,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[97,269,673],"class_list":{"0":"post-283909","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-health","8":"tag-health","9":"tag-nutrition","10":"tag-wellness"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283909","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=283909"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283909\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/283910"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=283909"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=283909"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=283909"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
