Looking at L.A. pharmacist, wellness expert, and social influencer Dr. Mona Vand, you might find yourself pondering: What is her secret?
It turns out she doesn't credit her clear complexion and radiant hair to a Beverly Hills facialist or new European serum with a hefty price tag. She’ll tell you that you probably have the ingredients for glowing skin, shiny hair, and healthy nails right in your refrigerator or pantry.
While many pharmacists believe in filling prescriptions, Vand believes true wellness comes from food and brings out your natural radiance before any primers and concealers come into play.
Sharing her food and beauty wisdom on her blog, Instagram, and shows like The Doctors, Vand balances foundational science with ancient truths. “I learned how to understand things at a chemical level,” says Vand. “This has ultimately helped me develop a greater grasp on the science behind nutrition and skincare.”
Here, she gives us her favorite ways to boost beauty with food and conscious eating. Think: eating your water and flooding your body with antioxidants by focusing on plant-based meals made of organic ingredients like Sakara’s Signature Nutrition Program.
