She went on to say that she likes to consume amla juice regularly. But does it work?

Glow up with amla, a natural boost for skin and hair

According to WebMD, amla, or Indian gooseberry, is a rich source of vitamins and antioxidants that have multiple health benefits. The high concentrations of vitamin C in amla help the body to recover from different types of diseases.

Vitamin C-rich fruits offer numerous benefits for skin and hair due to their potent antioxidant and collagen-boosting properties. ¡°Consuming fruits like oranges, lemons, strawberries, and kiwis helps to neutralise free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation that can lead to premature ageing, fine lines, and wrinkles,¡± explains Ms. Bharathi Kumar, dietician, Fortis Hospital, Nagarbhavi, Bangalore.

Vitamin C, the secret elixir for glowing skin and luscious locks

The high concentration of vitamin C in these fruits stimulates collagen production, improving skin elasticity and firmness while also enhancing skin brightness and radiance. Ms. Kumar says, ¡°For hair, vitamin C promotes healthy growth by improving circulation, strengthening hair follicles, and protecting against damage from environmental stressors.¡±

¡°Additionally, vitamin C's antifungal and antibacterial properties help to control dandruff, itchiness, and other scalp issues,¡± she adds. Topical application of vitamin C-rich fruit extracts or juices can also provide localised benefits, such as fading age spots, reducing acne, and soothing sunburnt skin.

Overall, incorporating vitamin C-rich fruits into your diet and skincare routine can lead to a more youthful, glowing complexion and healthier, more vibrant hair.
