Dermatologist Rates Viral Skin Foods
A dermatologist named Dr. Jushya Bhatia Sarin recently shared her thoughts on popular 'skin foods' that people are talking about on social media.
These include things like turmeric shots, garlic, amla, ginger, aloe vera, and green tea.
She gave each of these a score from 1 to 10 based on how well they actually help your skin.
For example, she said amla is really good for your skin because it has a lot of vitamin C, but you should dilute it and not let it touch your teeth.
On the other hand, she said garlic doesn't really help your skin and can make your breath smell bad.
She also warned that some of these foods can cause problems if you eat them on an empty stomach.
Her main message is that not everything you see on the internet about health is true, so it's important to check with experts.
Dermatologist Dr. Jushya Bhatia Sarin rated popular 'skin foods' on their effectiveness for skin health.
Amla shots received the highest rating (8/10) due to their vitamin C content and skin benefits.
Garlic on an empty stomach received a low rating (3/10) with no proven skin benefits and potential side effects.
Haldi shots and ginger on an empty stomach both received a moderate rating (5/10) with some benefits but also potential drawbacks.
Aloe vera juice was rated low (3/10) and is better used topically than ingested for skin improvement.
