Glowing Skin Green Juice

There is strong evidence to support the influence of nutrition on the health and vibrancy of your skin. Many nutrients help with the growth and immunity of your skin. There are many vitamins, minerals and antioxidant components in our food that helps to support acne healing. These vitamins, minerals and antioxidants have the power to help fight inflammation and free radicals, improve wound healing (acne scars), inhibit oil gland activity, suppress androgen formation and fight off bacteria with their anti-bacterial properties. These nutrients and foods can be found in the "Glowing Skin Green Juice." This green juice can help prevent acne breakouts and leave your skin feeling healthy and glowing.
Green juice is very hydrating for the skin. It contains water-rich foods such as celery, cucumber, and apples. Being hydrated allows the skin to function properly and for essential nutrients to reach the skin through proper blood flow. Being hydrated also allows toxins in the body to be flushed out of our body (through our kidneys and intestines).

Juicing Tips:
Don’t throw away the pulp left over – it’s high in fibre and you can use it to make muffins!
Drink green juice on an empty stomach for enhancing the absorption of nutrients. I recommend to drink your green juice first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Wait 20 minutes before consuming other foods.
