Drink Any Of These Daily For Detoxifying Your Skin
Hi there everyone 👋
Today I have healthy, delicious and detoxifying drink recipes for you. But let’s first discuss why is detoxifying important and how can it benefit our skin?
We all have some points in life when we are suffering from hyper-pigmentation, dark spots or acne out of nowhere. This is a sign that our body has a build-up of toxins that are reaching our skin as well.
When there is toxin build-up, topical skin care can lose its effects at some point, because we need to cure the problem that is within.
Detoxifying drinks will not only benefit our skin but also regulate all the other bodily functions.
Causes Of Toxin Build-up
Toxins can build up in our bodies over time when we neglect our eating and drinking habits. Here are some of the common causes of toxin build-up:
- Having too much of junk food and bad diet habits.
- Not drinking enough water.
- Too much of alcohol consumption.
- The side effect of some kind of medications, mainly antibiotics.
- Smoking.
Okay so let’s get to the recipes first and then I’ll point out some of the benefits of each ingredient.
Detox Recipe #1:

- ½ a cup of chopped strawberries

Put all of this in a blender and then add enough water to blend them up smoothly.
