Glow From the Gut: Ayurvedic Summer Recipes for Radiant Skin

✨ Glow From the Gut: Ayurvedic Summer Recipes for Radiant Skin

🍃 Because your summer skincare routine should start on your plate.

In Ayurveda, beauty isn’t just skin-deep—it starts with a happy gut, a cool body, and a balanced mind. Summer heat (aka Pitta season) often causes inflammation, breakouts, and oil imbalance. These cooling recipes will help bring your system back into balance—and give your skin that lit-from-within glow.

🥥 1. Rose & Coconut Glow Tonic
