While creams and serums certainly support our skin (and we'd never skip them), the real key to a glowing complexion lies in what we consume. Staying hydrated with plenty of water is essential, and adding a smoothie gives your body an extra nutrient boost. Today, we're sharing one of our go-to blends that helped us achieve happier, healthier skin. All you need is a blender, a trip to the grocery store, and a willingness to try something new.
What You'll Need
Half an Avocado
Whether you adore it or avoid it, don't skip this millennial staple—even if you dislike it, the taste won't come through. Packed with vitamin E, this powerful antioxidant is a star player for that sought-after glow, and its high vitamin C content supports moisture levels for optimal hydration.
One Banana (Peeled and Chopped)
Bananas aren't just great for your overall health; they're fantastic for your skin too. This humble fruit is rich in antioxidants and helps nourish dry skin while smoothing aging skin.
One Cup of Blueberries
These modest yet delicious berries are loaded with antioxidants, vitamin C, and iron. They're excellent at combating free radicals—those troublemakers that attack the skin and accelerate premature aging.
One Cup of Chopped Mango
This nutrient-dense fruit is not only incredibly tasty but also rich in beta-carotene and vitamin A. These compounds enhance skin health by shielding it from UV rays, reducing oil production and fine lines, and promoting a rosy glow.
Spinach (As Much as You Like)
In short, spinach is a cornerstone of great skin, and plenty of it. Eating it regularly improves your skin's appearance and minimizes dark circles, while its high iron content encourages a natural radiance. Give your skin an extra boost with Sukin’s Super Greens Clay Masque.
Half a Cup of Fresh Orange Juice
Adding a bit of vitamin C to your smoothie boosts iron absorption from the spinach. Plus, it tastes great and helps everything blend smoothly. An extra dose of vitamin C always benefits your skin—why not add Ooh-arr’s Rosie Glow Mask to your next box?
A Splash of Coconut Water
You could use only coconut water (or even almond milk) instead of the orange juice, but we still like to include a splash of this coconut goodness for added hydration.
A Sprinkle of Chia Seeds
Why not? These seeds are the perfect finishing touch on the road to glowing skin. They help reduce inflammation and dryness while encouraging a plumper appearance.
