Silky skin smoothie

-

This morning drink is the perfect blend for your skin

FILLED with apricots and carrots, this drink is rich in the antioxidan­t betacarote­ne, which the body converts into vitamin A– a firming ingredient that’s essential for smoothing wrinkles. Also known as retinol, the vitamin can potentiall­y offset skin ageing, as well as damage from environmen­tal factors such as UV rays and pollution. The smoothie also contains cinnamon, which has been reported to promote collagen synthesis, which helps skin repair itself. Add honey with its antibiotic properties and your skin will love you!
