Juicing is really good for your skin. It gives you a concentrated dose of plant phytonutrients and antioxidant vitamins that help to nourish your skin cells and protect them from damage. Here is one of my favorite juice recipes for skin health. Some people are freaked out by beets. I used to be one of these people. But I have realized that it is just a misunderstood veggie! They are actually quite yummy! Beets and parsley have been recognized as blood purifiers and taking the raw juice internally can help your body excrete toxins that might be affecting your skin.
I recommend drinking it once a week, especially when you can get the ingredients fresh in summertime.
2 organic beets
2 large stalks organic celery
1 large organic carrot
2 organic apples
1 bunch organic parsley
Juice according to your juicer's instructions. Usually, you would put the softest things in first followed by the rest (I usually start with the parsley). Be sure to roll the parsley into a ball before puting it in the juicer to help get the juice out. Voila! You can also squeeze the juice of 1/2 an organic lemon in at the end for a little zap!
