Here are 3 drinks that help detoxify the skin effectively according to scientific research.
Green tea
Green tea is one of the drinks that helps purify the body and improve skin health thanks to its high content of polyphenols, catechin and EGCG (Epigallocatechin Gallate).
According to research published in the Journal of Clinical and Experimental Dermatology Research, EGCG in green tea helps neutralize free radicals, protect skin cells from damage caused by UV rays and reduce dermatitis.
Green tea also helps detoxify the liver, reducing the risk of dullness and acne.
You should drink 2-3 cups of green tea per day to optimize the skin detoxification process.
Can be combined with a few slices of lemon or honey to increase effectiveness.
Warm lemon water
Warm lemon water is not only a drink that helps purify the body but also has a skin lightening effect thanks to its rich vitamin C and citric acid content.
According to research from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, lemon water helps stimulate the production of digestive enzymes, supporting the liver and kidneys in the detoxification process. Vitamin C plays an important role in collagen synthesis, helping to firm skin, reduce wrinkles and maintain moisture.
The mild alkalinity of lemon water helps balance the pH in the body, reducing oily skin, acne and inflammation.
You can drink a glass of warm lemon water in the morning on an empty stomach to stimulate the digestive system.
Or add a few slices of ginger or honey to increase anti-inflammatory and detoxifying effects.
Celery juice
Celery is one of the green vegetables rich in antioxidants, vitamins A, C, K and minerals such as potassium, magnesium, which help support liver function, reduce inflammation and improve skin texture.
According to research published in the Journal of Medicinal Food, celery juice has a diuretic effect, helping to remove toxins accumulated in the liver and kidneys, thereby reducing the risk of acne and dermatitis. In addition, celery also contains luteoline, a flavonoid compound with strong anti-inflammatory effects, helping the skin reduce irritation and redness.
How to use: Drink a glass of fresh celery juice every morning before breakfast.
Can be combined with apples or lemons to enhance flavor and skin benefits.
