Your dedication to skin care includes using appropriate cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen and other products; but what you eat and drink can have an equally big effect. Water is one of the best beverages to keep on hand for healthy skin; other hydrating beverages like herbal infusions, coconut water, cucumber-mint-infused water or carrot juice may provide essential hydration and nutrients essential to glowing complexion!
Lemons contain high concentrations of vitamin C, an antiseptic and astringent compound with strong antibacterial and healing powers. Lemons can help treat acne damage as well as dark spots, freckles and other forms of hyperpigmentation by dissolving them away while simultaneously encouraging collagen production for firmer skin.
Cucumbers contain silica, an essential mineral for increasing collagen production and skin elasticity. They’re also rich in vitamin A which the body converts into beta-carotene for healthy tissue health.
Chamomile extract contains chamazulene, a compound said to soothe skin and reduce redness. You could make homemade chamomile tea at home or look for products incorporating this natural skin care ingredient for maximum effect.
