PT Health Life – Some drinks rich in nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants can help your skin become brighter, healthier, and fresher.
The secret to having radiant skin is not only using facial cleansers and skin care products from the outside, but also needs to be taken care of from the inside. Nutrition plays a big role in maintaining skin moisture and elasticity, while keeping your skin youthful.
Here are some drinks that help keep your skin healthy and beautiful:
1. Herbal tea helps keep skin healthy and beautiful
Herbal teas, such as chamomile, rose or hibiscus tea, are rich in antioxidants and phytochemicals, which can help fight oxidative stress and inflammation. Not only do they provide moisture to the skin, these teas also provide the best nutrients for the skin, making the skin healthier and more beautiful.
Ingredient:
- 1 teaspoon chamomile, rose, or hibiscus tea (or herbal blend of choice).
- 1 cup boiling water.
How to do: Put the ingredients (herbal tea) into a cup/pot. Pour in boiling water and soak for 5-10 minutes. Filter the tea, remove the leaves, let the tea cool and then enjoy.
2. Coconut water
Coconut water is naturally rich in electrolytes, vitamins and minerals, including potassium, magnesium… which support proper hydration and promote skin health. Additionally, coconut water’s anti-inflammatory properties can help soothe skin irritation and reduce redness.
3. Cucumber and mint infused water
For this refreshing and skin-friendly drink, soak cucumber slices and a few sprigs of mint in filtered water. Cucumbers are moisturizing and contain silica, a mineral that promotes collagen production, enhancing skin elasticity. Peppermint has soothing properties that can reduce skin irritation and inflammation.
Here is the recipe for cucumber and mint infused water:
Ingredient:
- 1 cucumber, sliced.
- A handful of fresh mint leaves.
- 1 liter of water.
How to make: Put cucumbers and fresh mint leaves in a jar. Then pour in water, stir gently to mix the ingredients well, and put in the refrigerator for a few hours. Using chilled cucumber-mint water not only brings a refreshing feeling but also soothes the skin, making it healthier and more beautiful.
4. Carrot juice promotes healthy and beautiful skin
Carrot juice is a delicious and nutrient-rich drink that can do wonders for your skin. This is a rich source of beta-carotene, a powerful antioxidant (converted to vitamin A in the body).
Vitamin A helps promote skin cell turnover, restores skin tissue, and contributes to smooth, radiant skin. In addition, carrot juice also contains vitamins C and E, which support skin health by protecting against free radicals, improving collagen synthesis, making skin healthier and more beautiful.
Ingredient:
- 4 large carrots, washed and peeled.
- 1 small piece of ginger (optional, for added flavor).
- 1 lemon (optional, for added sourness).
How to make: Cut carrots into small pieces. Put the carrots (and ginger if using) into the juicer, then squeeze out the juice. Squeeze lemon juice (if desired) into carrot juice and mix well then enjoy.
5. Green smoothie
Green smoothies are a great way to nourish your skin from within. Mix green leafy vegetables , such as spinach or kale, with fruits such as pineapple or kiwi to create a delicious and skin-healthy mixture.
Green leafy vegetables are rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals that help boost overall skin health. They provide moisture, improve skin elasticity and protect against premature aging. Fruit adds natural sweetness, providing additional vitamins and antioxidants to enhance the drink’s skin benefits.
Ingredient:
- 2 cups green leafy vegetables (like spinach or kale)
- 1 cup chopped fruit (for example, pineapple, kiwi, or a combination)
- 1 cup liquid (water, coconut water or almond milk).
