*I barely drink alcohol anymore. Less alcohol = more glow and way better sleep, she said.
*Omega-3s are non-negotiable. “You can either take supplements or natural forms like chia seeds, salmon, or fish oil daily. Makes a huge difference,” said Taneja.
*Add healthy fats like avocado, nuts, ghee, and olive oil = soft, glowy skin from the inside.
*Cutting down refined sugar really helped reduce those surprise breakouts.
*Bone broth once or twice a week — great for gut health and skin strength.
*And yes, skin care matters too. “Products help seal in all the goodness you feed your body,” said Taneja.

She mentioned that the key is sticking to these habits consistently. “Uninterrupted baby sleep for 7-8 hours,” Taneja said, adding that skin doesn’t transform overnight. “With time, my healthier diet made a lasting difference! Small habits. Big difference,” Taneja said.

Do these habits really make a difference?

Staying well-hydrated, limiting alcohol consumption, reducing refined sugar intake, and increasing omega-3 fatty acid and healthy fat intake are all associated with improved skin appearance and reduced inflammation. “Cutting out dairy may help some individuals with acne-prone skin, though this effect is not universal and varies from person to person,” said certified diabetes educator and consultant dietitian Kanikka Malhotra.

According to Malhotra, the inclusion of antioxidant-rich foods, such as dark chocolate (70% or higher), and the use of turmeric and moringa, both known for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, can support skin health. However, “though more robust clinical evidence is needed for some of these claims.” “Bone broth is popular for its collagen content, but scientific support for its direct impact on skin strength is limited; however, it may contribute to overall gut health, which can indirectly affect skin. Prioritising adequate sleep and consistent skincare routines is also crucial for skin regeneration and barrier function,” said Malhotra.

While many of these habits are beneficial, it’s essential to remember that individual responses can vary, and not all strategies will be effective for everyone. “A holistic approach, as emphasised by the influencer, is key, but claims should be interpreted with an understanding of current scientific evidence and personalised for each individual’s needs,” said Malhotra.
