Anti-Aging Juice Recipe

Juices are refreshing in more ways in way.

Let me back track a bit and tell you about two things I love: 1) my juices, and 2) glowing skin. So to drink something I already love and it result in glowing skin…what more could I ask for?

We all know the benefits of drinking water for your skin, but there are also tons of benefits derived from juicing and a healthy diet, all of which shows up in your face and helps fight the aging process.

I recently got my hands on JUICE: Recipes for Juicing, Cleansing, and Living Well, a book by Carly de Castro, Hedi Gores & Hayden Slater, the founders of Pressed Juicery (published by Ten Speed Press).

In the book you’ll find 75 recipes to make juices, milks, and other concoctions at home with either a juicer or blender. I can’t wait to make the chocolate almond milk or the coconut mint chip, but there was something that immediately caught my eye, an anti-aging antidote if you will.

I stumbled across Citrus 12 juice and this recipe has tons of skincare benefits. Raspberries contain high levels of the phytonutrients, ellagic acid, and anthocyanins. These antioxidant compounds are anti-aging and anti-inflammatory. Although they are tiny fruits, raspberries contain significant amounts of these phytonutrients, which can protect the body from disease and chronic illness.

I know, I know, while all that science above may sound complicated, the recipe itself is actually super simple!
