Many people don’t realize skin problems can come from within. Instead of reaching for the telephone to order the magic chemical cocktail you’ve just watched on the latest infomercial, why not reach for fresh fruit and veggies and make yourself a juice?

I’m a big fan of juice fasting. I love how my skin looks and feels during and after (and I get compliments on my skin all the time), but you don’t have to juice fast for your skin to reap the natural benefits. Simply incorporate fresh juices with your meals.

Pick up an inexpensive juicing machine from your favorite store, flea market, or even a garage sale. If possible, shop your local farmer’s market for the fresh fruits and veggies you’ll be using to create the following delicious drinks.

Not only does the healthy extracted freshness tickle the taste buds, it also purifies your blood (which affects your skin’s appearance) and rejuvenates your complexion.

Here are a few simple recipes to begin with.

If you have a lot of breakouts, you may want to cleanse your blood.

For this, you’ll need:

• 3 sweet apples
• 8 strawberries

To enhance your complexion, you’ll want to use:

• 8 strawberries
• 2 bunches of grapes

And, to improve your skin overall, try mixing:

• 6 carrots
• ½ green bell pepper

You’ll love these sweet juices and your skin will, too!

Beauty Tip:

If you can tolerate doing without food for a couple of days, experiment with a cleansing juice fast. It’s a great way to detox from all the chemicals we come in contact with each day and unearth our natural beauty.

What are your thoughts on reaping beautiful benefits from raw juices? Do you ever think about beauty coming from within? Or do you focus on creams and potions externally only? Share with us in the comments!

Here’s to life, health, and healing with juices – and beauty!
