Ep. 15 - Secrets to Skin So Good, You'll Cancel Your Filter: Ayurvedic Beauty with Mangala Rao D’sa
Description
In this radiant episode of The Healthy Pod, Nicole sits down with longtime friend, wellness founder, and marketing powerhouse Mangala Rao D’sa—the creator of Chāsma Skin, a luxe Ayurvedic skincare brand blending ancient rituals with modern science.
With 20 years of experience building iconic brands like PepsiCo, Roots, and Indigo, Mangala made a bold pivot from corporate life to holistic entrepreneurship. Now, she’s redefining skincare through the lens of Ayurveda—creating glow-boosting rituals that bring balance, beauty, and calm to your everyday routine.
Together, Nicole and Mangala dive into:
• What Ayurveda actually is—and how it can transform your skin
• The real difference between Ayurvedic and clean beauty
• Mangala’s exact morning and evening skincare rituals
• How to glow with intention (even if you only have 3 minutes a day!)
• Her transition from CPG exec to purpose-driven founder
• A fun round of Glow-Up or Gimmick? featuring face yoga, moon water & more
• The product she recommends to every single customer
This conversation is equal parts soulful, science-backed, and skin-obsessed.
