In a recent video for her skincare label 9Skin, she doubled down on the same timeless advice. When asked which beauty rule she would pass down from her South Indian roots, she didnโt hesitate:
โEat food that is native to your region. Seasonal, local food is always best for your health, your skin, and your hair.โ
South Indian kitchens are filled with beauty-boosting staples – coconut for skin nourishment, curry leaves for hair strength, sesame and cold-pressed oils for improved complexion, buttermilk and bananas for digestion, and millets for sustained energy and gut balance. These arenโt luxury foods; theyโre everyday essentials that hold centuries of wisdom.
