All of these six points are a part of her daily skincare routine. Explaining the "why" behind them, Makhija shares the following

  • A glass of vegetable juice provides an "antioxidant burst" to her skin. A green juice can be prepared by adding a variety of leafy green vegetables, amla, aloe vera and several other ingredients. Antioxidants in these vegetables can help in reducing oxidative stress, inflammation and acne.
  • Drinking two to three litres of water daily is sufficient to keep you hydrated . And being well-hydrated is responsible for the natural glow that Makhija has.

  • Eating good quality protein, from foods like eggs, lentils, legumes, soy, etc, can help in generating healthy cells on the skin. It boosts collagen production as well. For Makhija, eating good quality protein can help in fading scars.
  • Regular exercise not just helps with weight loss, but is also great for improving blood circulation in the body. The glow that you in your skin after exercise is probably because of better blood circulation.
  • Getting seven to eight hours of sleep is important for your overall health and immunity. It is also important for your skin as it facilitates healing and rejuvenation of the skin.
  • Avoid refined sugar in all forms. It can cause a sudden spike in blood sugar levels and can also trigger acne, as Makhija informs in her video.
