Ageing is a normal part of life, but you can do many things to ward off its effects so that you can look young for as long as possible.
What you put into your body is just as important as the skin care routine that you use each day. There are certain juice combinations that are tasty and they contain nutrients that will keep you looking younger.
Having just one of these juices each day will help you to turn back the clock and improve the health of your skin.

This is one of the easiest juices to make, so if you are short on time, reach for this recipe.

Cucumber and Pineapple Juice
Cucumbers are highly water-based, so they improve the pH of the skin and add moisture. They also help to purify the skin so that wastes and toxins below the surface cannot cause problems.
Pineapples contain an ingredient called bromelain. This is an enzyme and fights against inflammation, making this juice ideal for those with acne, eczema and other inflammatory skin conditions.
Use the following to make this drink:
- One half of a cucumber
- One half of an apple
- Four slices of fresh pineapple
Spinach and Parsley Juice
Detoxing is critical for skin that is healthy and glowing. The ingredients in this juice help to reduce water retention to flush impurities from the body.
The spinach contains omega fatty acids, alpha-linoleic acid and linoleic acid. All of these nutrients work to improve the health of the skin and protect it.
Combine the following ingredients:
- Four carrots
- One handful of parsley
- One handful of spinach
- One half of an apple
Super Eight Juice
You have surely seen V-8 Juice at the store and read about the various health benefits. It is better to make your own juice at home because you can ensure that it is fresh and not processed.
This juice starts to improve the health of your skin in about week, making it brighter and plumping your skin to fight against wrinkles and lines that are starting to appear.
Combine these ingredients:
- One large kale leaf
- One large collard leaf

It is best to drink two of these juices per day to get the most nutrients for your skin and overall health.
Create a schedule, such as juice in the morning and juice with your dinner, so that it is easy to remember when to have your drink.
You can always add more fruits and vegetables to each of the juices listed above, but it is important that you never omit any of the ingredients unless you have an allergy.
