As beauty continues to embrace a more holistic approach, the message is clear: true radiance starts beneath the surface. With the right ingredients, achieving that effortless, glass-skin glow by summer could start with what’s in your glass.

Here’s why carrot juice is trending, and why it’s best prepared at home

As we all know, what we eat and drink has a direct impact on our skin, so addressing your skincare goals and concerns through diet changes is a great place to start. It’s understandable that so many people are turning to juices and smoothies as a way to achieve this because it’s a quick and easy way to pack in lots of nutrients that are great for skin health.

It’s unsurprising that carrot juice is trending because it’s packed with beta-carotene, an antioxidant that brightens up the skin and helps to protect it from environmental stressors like UV damage. Combining this vitamin C may promote collagen production, drinking carrot juice is a great way to support a healthy summer glow.

We recommend making these drinks at home, as it not only may be more affordable, but it gives you greater flexibility to tailor the ingredients to your own skincare goals, and avoids the unnecessary added sugar which may included in shop-bought juices and smoothies.
