Lifestyle factors, such as your eating habits, drinking habits, sleep pattern, hygiene habits and exercise routine, have a direct impact on how your skin looks.
In particular, the food you eat and the nutrition that your body gets (or doesn’t get) from your diet will be reflected in your facial skin.
So, if you wish to rock a glowing, radiant skin that can make you stand out in a crowd, you can include a powerful juice in your daily diet. You just need some readily available ingredients and a juicer or food processor to make it.
This powerful juice recipe includes a variety of healthy fruits and vegetables. For best results, make sure you opt for organic produce.
Beetroot: Being rich in antioxidants, it protects the skin from premature aging signs by neutralizing free radicals. Plus, it aids in detoxification and helps purify your blood, which in turn gives a healthy glow to the skin.
Carrot: The high vitamin A and other antioxidants in carrots keep your skin healthy, vibrant and glowing. They even protect your skin from the damage caused by the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays.
Cucumber: This water-rich fruit keeps the skin hydrated. Also, the trace mineral silica in cucumbers rejuvenates skin and helps maintain elasticity.
Apple: Being rich in vitamins A, B and C, as well as beta-carotene and antioxidants, apples help maintain healthy and younger-looking skin.
Pomegranate: The vitamin C in pomegranates promotes collagen formation, which helps delay skin sagging and wrinkling.
Orange and lemon: The strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties in oranges and lemons help fight signs of aging and prevent skin damage caused by exposure to the sun and environmental pollution. They even aid detoxification, which is important for clear and beautiful skin.
Ginger: Rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, ginger promotes a smooth and clear skin. It even aids in weight loss.
Watermelon: This summertime favorite has almost 92 percent water content that helps keep your body hydrated. Plus, the compound lycopene in it neutralizes free radicals and protects the skin against UV light.
