Don’t get us wrong- we love our CTM routine just as much as the next person and vouch for our skin masks like a zealot would for religion, but it is certainly no revelation that the secret to healthy, glowing skin is to start from within. Nutrition plays a pivotal role in making our skin healthy, from the inside out and as such, we cannot undermine its importance. Luckily for us, the nutrients that need to be ingested to help our skin get healthier need no more than a blender. Yes, you read that right! There are a number of smoothies that can get you glowing skin like you were born with it and what’s more, they won’t make your taste buds go into complaint-mode either!
These healthy smoothies are loaded with power-packed antioxidants like vitamin C and E, omega 3 fatty acids, and essential minerals and can just be the skin savior you have always wanted! If you still need more convincing (I thought we had you at glowing skin, but okay…), some of these smoothies are so delicious you’d think you were having your favorite desserts. Sweet, eh?
