One of the absolute best things you can do for your body and overall health is to drink more water. It’s that simple, but somehow so hard to do. For some reason, it’s so much easier to consume coffee during the day and wine at night. However, water is insanely great for your skin with its hydrating benefits. After all, water makes up roughly 60 percent of your body. With just a few simple ingredients you can clear your skin and calm irritation.
Clear Skin Recipe
Ingredients
/ Half lemon, squeezed
/ 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
/ 1 tsp raw honey
/ cinnamon
Instructions:
Combine half lemon, squeezed, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp raw honey, and dash of cinnamon
- Lemon not only detoxes your digestive system, but it also detoxes your skin from impurities.
- Apple cider vinegar works similarly as lemons do to detoxify the organs in your body, including the largest organ — your skin.
- A drop of raw honey has great anti-bacterial purposes, which can help clear up a breakout.
- Cinnamon improves circulation in the blood and helps to get rid of breakouts.
Calm Irritation Recipe:
Ingredients
/ Cucumber slices
/ Fresh mint leaves
Instructions:
Combine cucumber slices and fresh mint leaves (optional add aloe juice)
- Adding cucumber slices to your water soothes any irritation and is super hydrating.
- Mint helps to aid digestion, which will help your skin glow from the inside out.
- You may think aloe is only good for its sunburn-soothing abilities, but it’s also intensely hydrating from within.
According to the National Academy of Sciences’s Institute of Medicine most adult women need 11 cups of fluid per day. By adding fruit to your water, not only will you reap the benefits of essential vitamins and minerals, but it will also make your water delicious and so much easier to consume.
