Many consider the right skincare products to produce that glowing complexion, but it is as much about what one drinks as about what he slathers on. Hydrating, nourishing, and antioxidant-rich drinks give one's skin that glow from within in the tastiest ways possible. In this blog, we’ll explore some of the best teas, juices, and drinks for healthy skin, their benefits, and how to incorporate them into your routine seamlessly. And, of course, we’ll share how Bentica complements this holistic approach to skincare with its nature-inspired solutions.
1. Green Tea: The Antioxidant Powerhouse
Green tea is a favorite in skincare, rich in polyphenols that fight free radicals and reduce inflammation. It not only helps reduce redness and puffiness but also aids in protecting your skin from environmental damage. Drinking 2-3 cups daily can improve skin elasticity and hydration. Pair your green tea habit with Bentica's botanical-infused skincare products to amplify the calming and protective benefits.
Quick Tip: Make your tea infusion with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and get the additional vitamin C which stimulates collagen formation.
For instance, using skincare products which combine green tea extract, for example Bentica's HydraGlow Facewash provides antioxidant protection and helps revitalize tired skin.
2. Pomegranate Juice: The Glow Booster
Packed full of antioxidants including ellagic acid, pomegranate juice aids in enhancing cell regeneration as well as reversing hyperpigmentation. It works best for combating UV damage against your skin. Bentica skincare formulas are completely compatible with these antioxidant-rich extracts, thus guaranteeing a tough and healthy barrier for your skin.
How to use: Take in a small amount of fresh glass pomegranate juice, chilled in the morning to rehydrate.
3. Coconut Water: Hydrate Your Best
Coconut water is both hydrating as well as has high amounts of potassium and lauric acid with anti-impurities, promotes clear skin. The soothing action in the formula well suits hydrating skincare routines like Bentica's lightweight moisturiser.
Skin Tip: Use chilled coconut water as a quick, soothing toner directly on your face.
4. Turmeric Latte: The Golden Glow Drink
Turmeric is an ancient ingredient that has been used for its anti-inflammatory and brightening properties. A turmeric latte or "golden milk" can help reduce redness, combat acne, and give your skin an enviable glow. Regular consumption supports the body's natural detox processes, complementing Bentica's focus on clean, effective skincare.
Recipe: Heat plant-based milk with a pinch of turmeric, black pepper (for absorption), and honey for sweetness.
5. Aloe Vera Juice: Soothing and Rejuvenating
Aloe vera juice is a beauty elixir that soothes the gut and the skin at the same time. It is a drink rich in vitamins and enzymes that stimulate collagen, reduces inflammation, and hydrates the skin from the inside. Calming and nourishing in effects, this fits well into the Bentica philosophy where plant-based solutions meet modern skin science.
When to Drink: A small glass of aloe vera juice in the morning when your stomach is empty can do wonders.
6. Hibiscus Tea: The Natural Collagen Booster
Known as the "Botox plant," hibiscus is full of natural AHAs and antioxidants that rejuvenate skin, improve elasticity, and give a youthful glow. Drinking hibiscus tea daily not only benefits your skin but also supports overall wellness. Pairing this with Bentica's anti-aging formulas ensures your skin receives care inside and out.
For instance, applying Bentica's AHA BHA exfoliating serum adds on to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and reveal a fresh, radiant glow.
Fun Fact: The natural pink hue of hibiscus tea is Instagram-worthy too!
7. Carrot and Beetroot Juice: The Skin Detox Duo
Carrots are packed with beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A to boost skin repair, while beetroot is rich in iron and nitrates that improve blood circulation, giving your skin a healthy flush. Adding these juices to your diet complements Bentica's ability to support skin vitality and clarity.
DIY Tip: Add a dash of ginger for an anti-inflammatory kick.
