Highlights
Check out the ingredient benefits for your skin!
- Cucumbers – contain folic acid to fight toxins, vitamin C to facilitate skin growth, and antioxidant components that help reduce wrinkles. These components help your skin to appear healthier, youthful, and firmer.
- Lime – contains flavonoids and vitamin C, antioxidants that strengthen collagen in the skin. Drinking lime water can rejuvenate and hydrate your skin.
- Blueberries – high in vitamin C and vitamin E which helps fade away blemishes like hyperpigmentation, sun, and dark spots. Blueberries act as an exfoliating agent and take away any sort of discoloration on your skin. This brightens your skin and evens out your complexion, taking away any dullness you may see.
- Strawberries – provide powerful benefits for your skin. Full of ellagic acid and Vitamin C antioxidants, strawberries produce a strong photoprotective effect on your skin. They also protect from UV damage, preventing collagen destruction in the skin. Strawberries also prevent fine lines and wrinkles, making our skin look healthier and younger.
- Mint – Nutrients in mint leaves help tone skin, minimize pores, reduce swelling, and restore skin elasticity.
- AnnieMak Clean Multi Collagens – collagen is a protein and the literal “glue” that holds your body together. Research shows supplementing with collagen can help smooth wrinkles, keep skin taut and plump, strengthen nails, and promote full, healthy hair growth. We include 5 collagen types from 4 ultra-clean sources plus the essential collagen “building blocks” your body needs to give you that coveted skin glow!
