Green machine

Adding a splash of green to your skincare routine can be as simple as hitting start on your blender each morning.

Eating your greens, as we all know, is an important part of your daily diet. But how much attention are you paying to your skin’s greens intake? A diet rich in spinach, apple, spirulina, aloe and green tea can boost your skincare’s antioxidant, vitamin and mineral components and transform your regimen into a veritable hothouse of nutrients.

Green tea, which aids in detoxification and skin renewal and has antiinf lammatory properties, should be the hero of your routine. Blithe’s Patting Water Pack Soothing & Healing Green Tea, a liquid mask, de-stresses and calms skin while removing the day’s pollutants. If you’re looking for a punch-packing green infusion, Origins By All Greens Foaming Deep Cleansing Mask is a green juice for your face that is filled with spirulina, spinach, green tea and algae extract.

For a heavier dose of green, Mizon’s Apple Smoothie Peeling Gel will slough away dead skin and hydrate in one go, while Herbivore Botanicals Blue Tansy AHA + BHA Resurfacing Clarity Mask uses the power of natural alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) to decongest and clarify the texture and tone of your skin, while organic aloe calms and soothes. Grow on.
