BY ALESSANDRA TAYLOR I hope you will enjoy this juice as much as I do and consider more fresh and raw juicing as an addition to maintaining a balanced diet, staying hydrated, and getting enough sleep for overall skin health during this summer and beyond! I N G R E D I E N T S : 1⁄4 inch fresh ginger 4 carrots, greens removed 2 apples, seed removed Tip* You don't need to peel the apples, carrots, or ginger. Fruit and vegetable skins are often full of important vitamins and minerals!

Carrots: Carrots are rich in beta- carotene, which is converted into vitamin A in the body. Vitamin A is essential for maintaining healthy skin. It helps in the production and repair of skin cells, promotes skin elasticity, and supports the overall health of the skin. Carrots also contain antioxidants that can protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals. 2. Apples: Apples are a good source of vitamins A and C, both of which are important for skin health. Vitamin A helps in the growth and repair of skin cells, while vitamin C plays a specific role in collagen production, which is necessary for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness! Apples also contain antioxidants that can help protect the skin from oxidative stress and damage. 3. Ginger: Ginger has anti- inflammatory properties that can benefit the skin. Inflammation is often known to harm collagen and is associated with skin conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis. By reducing inflammation, ginger can help calm irritated skin and promote a clearer and a more radiant complexion. About the Specialist GLOWING CARROT APPLE GINGER JUICE Carrot, apple, and ginger are known for their benefits for skin health. I might as well go as far as to call this your natural botox! If you feed the skin from the inside out, the more healthful, firm, and plump it will be! This Glowing Carrot Apple Ginger Juice is delicious, easy to make, and so good for you! By combining carrot, apple, and ginger in a juice or smoothie you can provide your body with a range of skin-boost- ing nutrients while also helping the collagen in your skin—and this is so important.
