What you eat shows up on your skin. A balanced diet can prevent many skin problems, speed up recovery, and enhance treatment outcomes. The nutrition experts at VS Hospitals provide personalized dietary advice for healthy skin, hair, and nails.

Skin-Friendly Nutrition Tips:

Stay Hydrated: Drink 2–3 liters of water daily to maintain moisture balance.
Eat Antioxidant-Rich Foods: Berries, green tea, and leafy vegetables fight aging.
Include Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Found in fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts reduce inflammation.
Add Vitamin C & E: Boost collagen production and protect against sun damage.
Iron & Zinc: Prevent hair loss and brittle nails; found in lentils, nuts, and spinach.
Avoid Processed Foods: Sugar and trans fats worsen acne and dullness.
Limit Dairy: May reduce hormonal acne in sensitive individuals.
Probiotics: Yogurt and fermented foods support gut health, reducing skin breakouts.
Vitamin D: Moderate sun exposure or supplements support immune function.

The dermatology team at VS Hospitals often pairs clinical treatments with nutrition therapy to promote complete healing from within.

Prevention is better and easier than cure when it comes to skin care. At VS Hospitals, dermatologists educate patients on preventive habits that help maintain healthy skin and minimize flare-ups of chronic conditions.

Preventive Measures for Healthy Skin:

Use Sunscreen Daily: SPF 30+ even on cloudy days to prevent sunburn and premature aging.
Maintain Hygiene: Regular cleansing to remove dirt and oil.
Moisturize: Keeps skin hydrated and reduces dryness-related irritation.
Avoid Harsh Soaps and Chemicals: Use dermatologist-recommended products.
Don’t Pick Pimples or Scabs: Prevents scarring and infection.
Wear Protective Clothing: Shields skin from UV rays and pollutants.
Manage Stress: Practice yoga, meditation, or relaxation techniques.
Stay Hydrated and Eat Clean: Promotes skin regeneration and glow.
Regular Skin Screening: Detects early signs of skin cancer or chronic issues.

At VS Hospitals, prevention is an integral part of every treatment plan — helping patients maintain radiant, problem-free skin long after therapy ends.
