A Smoothie for your skin

The recipe for this organic miracle comes from the women of my family.

I have spent all my summer holidays at my grandmother's country house in Armenia. She could talk about her plants and gardening for hours. While educating her grandchildren on nature and gardening, she emphasized that all plants contain healing effects and vitamins.

She would instill in us that understanding and learning about their nature will help us use them in various ways– not just food. This was fun for me; running and hiding behind the bushes and playing with her while she was choosing the special ones for her skincare products.

As a kid, my favorite recipe was "the pink smoothie" because of its color. Years later, when I found her book of recipes and notes, I was reminded that all the ingredients she used are natural sources of vitamins that help prevent skin aging and keep it hydrated and healthy. So I started to recreate her masterpieces to maintain my beauty routine.

The only update I have made to her process as a member of the younger generation is the use of modern equipment and tools in the preparation. Don’t worry– the recipe is still the original!

This particular skin smoothie (the pink one!) helps my acne; my skin looks clean, younger, and fresh. To have the best results, ensure you don't have allergies to the ingredients and repeat it every week or twice a week.

Don't forget to snap a picture before so you can compare the result after.

Good luck!
