For many, youthful, radiant-looking skin is something we’re either after or desperately trying to maintain. While wrinkles are a natural process of aging, a green juice recipe like this can be a wonderful way to slow down the process and make sure we’re aging gracefully.
Juicing, which is different from making smoothies, is an easy way to load up on necessary nutrients your body needs to function at its best. This is especially true if you are the type of person that finds it hard to meet all the required servings of vegetables and fruits you need each day.
This green juice recipe is made with apples, kale, and celery, a combination that’s perfect for nourishing your skin and making it look its best. The juice is packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and chlorophyll, which help detoxify your body and clear out any impurities in your system.
This particular recipe is abundant in vitamin C, which helps keep your skin looking firm. The vitamin K in this juice can also help you reduce stress levels, which is one of the main causes of advanced aging.
Drinking this juice on a regular basis will help your skin stay hydrated, looking healthy and glowing. In particular, keeping the skin hydrated helps fight off dryness and wrinkles.
If you’ve never had a green juice before, you may find it slightly bitter or unpleasant compared to sweet smoothies that use bananas or dates. If you’re new to drinking a green juice, we recommend starting off with a ratio of more apple to kale and celery, then slowly transitioning to a greater ratio of greens to apple.
