Here are some common skin concerns and their natural remedies, as suggested by nutritionist Lovneet Batra:

1. Acne-prone skin

Add spearmint leaves to your routine. They are naturally rich in anti-androgenic compounds, which help reduce testosterone levels, one of the key culprits behind hormonal acne in women. Just one cup of spearmint tea a day can make a noticeable difference.

2. Pigmentation

Amla (Indian Gooseberry) is your best friend. With 20 times more vitamin C than oranges, it reduces melanin production and boosts collagen, shielding your skin from sun damage, pollution and stress.

3. Dry or sensitive skin

Sip on tender coconut water. It is a natural source of potassium, magnesium and cytokinins, ingredients that hydrate, soothe and maintain youthful, plump skin. It also has a mild anti-inflammatory effect.

4. Dark spots 

Jamun is a great addition to your snacks. Loaded with ellagic acid and anthocyanins, it helps reduce excess melanin and lighten stubborn patches. Bonus: it also offers skin-healing nutrients like zinc and vitamin A.

5. Dullness

Grab a handful of blueberries. Do not let their size fool you, they are full of antioxidants like quercetin and anthocyanins. These fight oxidative stress, support gut health, and give your skin a clear, even tone.

6. Breakouts

Add pomegranate (anaar) to your diet. Rich in vitamin C and punicalagins, it reduces inflammation, boosts collagen, and helps balance estrogen levels, a key in preventing hormonal breakouts.
