As Diwali approaches, the quest for radiant skin becomes as essential as festive decorations. Beauty expert and nutritionist Sakshi Lalwani emphasizes that true beauty starts from within, and with her 10-day pre-Diwali nutrition plan, your kitchen can become your ultimate beauty lab. “Start 10 days before Diwali for that natural festive glow,” Lalwani shared in a recent Instagram video, offering a practical regimen to enhance skin health using everyday ingredients.

Morning Glow Shot (Daily Ritual)

Kickstart your day with a potent elixir: mix 1 teaspoon of amla juice, half a teaspoon of aloe vera juice, a pinch of turmeric (haldi), and warm water. Amla, rich in vitamin C, boosts collagen production and fights free radicals, while aloe vera soothes the skin and digestive system. Turmeric’s anti-inflammatory properties help even out skin tone, creating a natural antioxidant blend for clear, glowing skin.

Mid-Morning Glow Snack (Alternate Days)

Swap sugary snacks for a nutrient-packed trio: a teaspoon of soaked pumpkin seeds, a handful of walnuts, and a guava. Guavas surpass oranges in vitamin C content, aiding collagen synthesis and revitalizing dull skin. Walnuts and pumpkin seeds, rich in omega-3 fatty acids and zinc, strengthen the skin barrier, promoting a natural shine from within.

Evening Detox Drink (Daily Must-Have)

Support your body’s detoxification with an Ayurvedic blend of boiled cumin, coriander, and fennel seeds, reduced by half. This traditional drink aids liver function, the body’s natural “glow filter,” reducing puffiness, acne, and pigmentation caused by festive indulgences.

Gond Katira Coolant (3-4 Times a Week)

For deep hydration, soak gond katira (edible gum) overnight and mix with rose water, sabja (basil) seeds, and a squeeze of lemon. This refreshing coolant restores moisture, combats dullness, and reduces puffiness, giving skin a dewy glow. Lalwani advises using gond katira in summer, not winter, for optimal benefits.

Skin Glow Lunch Tip (Daily)

Incorporate a skin-friendly lunch of moong dal khichdi, sautéed spinach or methi, and a teaspoon of ghee. This light, nutrient-dense meal, rich in zinc and chlorophyll, supports digestion, detoxification, and skin regeneration, ensuring a radiant complexion.

By following Lalwani’s 10-day plan and staying hydrated, you can achieve a natural glow that outshines Diwali lights without relying on makeup or filters. Embrace these simple, kitchen-based remedies to celebrate the festival with confidence and radiance.
