MAKE THIS SKIN-LOVING SMOOTHIE, USE THE LEFTOVERS FOR A DIY MASQUE.
Busy week? Time for a little detoxing with this invigorating #beautyfood smoothie and masque, created to beautify your skin from the inside out! Cranberries are best known for their appearance in holiday sauces, but the raw version here is actually a skin-saving powerhouse. These plump, tart little berries are superior cleansing agents, banishing toxins from your system - and your skin - via vital organs and lymph nodes. They’re also loaded with vitamin C, antioxidants, and other important nutrients such as iron, calcium and fiber.
Apples contain the soluble fiber pectin, which cleanses the blood, digestive, and intestinal tracts while supporting the body with calcium, iron, vitamin A, and potassium. We’ve added chia seeds for their protein and hydration, as well as exfoliating topical benefits, and clarifying lemon for a refreshing blend that will leave you glowing!
