We all know that drinking more water will boost our health and skin but if you find the idea of knocking back two litres of water a day a complete chore, then we have just the remedy. Homemade infused waters are becoming popular right now, with beauty buffs praising their skin-boosting benefits.
So, if you want to jump on the vitamin water bandwagon and boost your hydration levels and improve your skin, we have compiled a few recipes for you to try out, and boost your vitamin levels.
Blueberries for glowing skin
The dark pigment in blueberries is a result of a high carotenoid content, which can activate a form of Vitamin A in the body. Vitamin A stimulates the renewal of skin calls for a softer smoother and more glowing appearance so get ready to beam radiance after sipping on this tipple.
Cucumbers for acne
There’s nothing better than sitting back and relaxing with cucumbers over your eyes on pamper night but the juicy green vegetable can work harder in your wellbeing regimen. Cucumber is rich in vitamin E, which helps to fight against the free radicals that cause acne and scars. So, you either eat the cucumber or add it to your water.
Apples for sun protection
An apple a day keeps the sun burn away! The high vitamin C level in apples encourages the skin to produce melanin, the pigment responsible for colour in your skin. This helps to protect your skin from UV rays.
Raspberries for wrinkles
They’re sweet, juicy and packed with essential fatty acids. In fact, a cup of raspberries provides 155mg of omega-3 fatty acids, which can reduce wrinkles by plumping up the fat cells in your skin.
Oranges and lemons for sun damage
These citrus fruits are high in vitamin C, which aids in healing dry, chapped and sun-damaged skin, as well as boosting the production of collagen to help maintain elasticity and tone.
Kiwis for… everything
Kiwis are a handy all-rounder. They are a great source of antioxidants, including vitamin C & E, and also contain zinc, which helps keep hair, nails, teeth and skin healthy.
Fruits and water is always a good idea.
