The Science of Glowing Skin

Before diving into the recipes, let’s explore why certain drinks help improve skin health. Key factors include:

• Hydration: Keeps skin plump, prevents dryness, and flushes out toxins.

• Antioxidants: Fight free radicals and reduce signs of aging.

• Collagen & Healthy Fats: Support skin elasticity and hydration.

• Gut Health: A healthy digestive system leads to clearer, more radiant skin.

With these principles in mind, let’s build your beauty-boosting drink routine!

Essential Ingredients for Radiance

Some of the best glow-enhancing ingredients include:

• Lemon & Citrus: Vitamin C boosts collagen production.

• Turmeric & Ginger: Anti-inflammatory powerhouses.

• Berries: Rich in antioxidants for youthful skin.

• Coconut Water: Hydrating and electrolyte-rich.

• Matcha & Green Tea: Helps fight inflammation and supports detox.

• Aloe Vera: Soothes and hydrates skin from within.
