10 Morning Drinks for Glowing Skin

We all want healthy, beautiful, glowing skin; but it can be difficult to achieve this at times. Skin is the biggest organ in your body and contains 64% water. Your skin is about 15% of your body weight, so you should want to take good care of it.

Staying hydrated is crucial for your skin and overall health. Here are morning drinks for glowing skin that will help hydrate and give your skin the nutrients it needs.

Green Juice

I love having a fresh green juice in the morning, especially when I make in my juicer with some ginger. You can add cruciferous vegetables such as kale or broccoli. Both of these are high in vitamin A, vitamin C, and anti-cancer agents that are high in nutrients that help to support your skin.

I also love adding leafy greens like spinach and chard because they have high amounts of folate and iron that are very important for cell synthesis and repair. Spinach also has vitamin E and manganese that are antioxidants that protect your skin from damage-causing free radicals. 

Water

We can all agree that water is the most important drink not only for your skin but overall health. I notice a huge difference when I am not drinking enough water, especially in my skin. When I start to breakout it usually is because I am dehydrated and need to drink more.

Why is water so important for your skin? Well, this is because your skin is your largest organ and it’s mostly made of water. Your body loses a lot of water daily so if you are not replacing it your skin will become dry, tight, and more likely to break out. Click here for benefits of water.

Lemon

There is nothing a nice warm glass of lemon water can’t fix. I love having lemon water in the morning to help with digestion. Lemon is high in vitamin C, magnesium, and potassium; which all help to improve our hair, skin, and nails.

Vitamin C also helps to keep your skin tone balanced. You can also apply lemon to your skin instead of drinking it for different benefits. For instance, rubbing lemon on your face can help with blackheads, from the citric acid.

Bone Broth

When I first heard of bone broth it kind of disgusted me a little but then I did some research on it and there are some really good benefits from drinking it. Bone broth is made from animal bones and the tissue. It is rich in important amino acids and minerals. Since bone broth is so rich in amino acids 

Carrot & Beetroot

You can drink carrot or beetroot juice separately but personally I would rather just do it all at once. They both have amazing benefits that help your overall health but also with glowing skin! Why? Because they are extremely high in vitamins, iron, and minerals.

Carrot juice and beetroot are known for cleansing your body of toxins and help cure inflammation, which can cause acne and other skin issues. 

Cucumber Juice

Cucumbers are made up of 95% of water and two compounds; ascorbic acid and caffeic acid, which prevents water retention. More water means fewer toxins sitting in your body.

Cucumbers are a great source of silica which is known as the “beauty mineral”. Silica creates bonds between protein molecules that help the skin retain water, which is critical for repair and cell renewal. 

Celery Juice

Celery juice was a huge thing a few months ago and everyone was drinking it in the morning on an empty stomach. Which I like to do as well with any juices because it is the first thing you are putting into your body.

I like to think of it as something to wake your system up with tons of vitamins and minerals. Celery is 95% water, like cucumbers and we know that our skin thrives off being hydrated. 

Turmeric Tea

I have been a huge fan of turmeric for a long time because of the anti-inflammatory properties. Turmeric is a natural antiseptic which can be very useful if you are struggling with acne, which helps to keep the bacteria from spreading. Curcumin, which is found in turmeric is known to help decrease inflammation and oxidation. Click here for turmeric tea recipe.

Green Tea

There are so many different teas out there that have different benefits for different parts of the body. Green tea is one that has benefits for so many different things; one of them being your skin.

It has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that help with acne, redness, and swelling. Green tea contains polyphenols that damage bacteria and fights against infections. Green tea is one of the best morning drinks for glowing skin.

Aloe Vera

The juice from aloe vera is very hydrating and a morning drink that you should add to your diet if you are feeling dehydrated. Staying hydrated is important for your skin because that is how you get all of the toxins and impurities out of your body. Aloe vera is known for being applied to sunburns to help cool it down and sooth the area.
