JAKARTA – Fresh and glowing skin can be obtained when consuming drinks and foods full of nutrients. It doesn't mean leaving the routine of care, but taking care of the skin from the inside is also important.

According to a dermatologist at the Schweiger Dermatology Group, Rachel Nazarian, MD., the best skin can get from the ingredients around it. What is eaten and is natural, can make the skin look fresh and radiant. Here, the magic 'herb' suggested by dermatologists reported by Marie Claire, Wednesday, February 16.

1. Mineral water

Mineral water is placed as the first 'elixir', because nothing makes the skin look supple and fresh than simply hydrating the body. According to Nazarian, drinking mineral water helps skin maintain elasticity and create a healthy look. In a day, at least you can drink 8 glasses of mineral water.

2. Vegetable juice with kale

To make the taste more delicious, you can add apples, mangoes, or bananas. But don't miss kale, because this vegetable contains multivitamins.

“It has vitamin A (which is also found in anti-aging creams like retinol) and helps promote cell growth and healthy cell turnover, getting rid of dull skin,” Nazarian says.

Kale also contains vitamin C and copper which are essential substances to keep skin strong and regenerate efficiently. Vegetable juice with kale can be drunk in the morning to accompany you to start your activity.

3. Soy milk

There are many benefits of drinking soy milk, including helping collagen production, reducing aging, and darkening skin color. Soy milk contains isoflavones which help keep your skin looking youthful.

If you drink coffee during the day, there's nothing wrong with adding soy milk in a cup of coffee. This means that you can replace cow's milk with vegetable milk made from soy.

4. Green tea

Various beauty products use green tea as a basic ingredient. This is due to the antioxidant content in green tea, called catechins and polyphenols. Both compounds help protect the skin from UV radiation and reduce the risk of sunburn. As we know, antioxidants are also useful in reducing redness due to irritation and inflammation.

5. Pomegranate juice

Most recommended drinking pomegranate juice from fresh fruit. Because it is more natural and additional sweeteners can be more controlled.

Pomegranate also contains polyphenols which are antioxidants, just like green tea. The difference is, the level of polyphenols is twice as much in pomegranate as in green tea. The benefits can help the skin produce collagen so that there are fewer wrinkles and fine lines.

6. Cucumber infused water

Cucumber is 90 percent water so it helps hydrate the skin. In addition, cucumbers contain minerals such as magnesium and potassium. These ingredients help maintain the alkaline pH balance of the skin and reduce inflammation. Well, you can process cucumbers into infused water with mint leaves, sliced strawberries, or lemons.

That's a healthy drink concoction that makes skin tight and glowing. You can adjust the time for each recipe and get the benefits for the skin.
