the only reason why ten year old girls are destroying stupidly overpriced products at sephora to make “skincare smoothies” is because they aren’t being given access to a yard with a variety of mud, sticks, rocks, puddles, and old ceramic planters to make potions in. the children yearn for the apothecary

Great Skin from Within: A Guide to Clearing Your Skin With Food
Photo from BeBeautiful.in
In order to have great skin you have to take care of it not only from the outside but from within. So what do I mean by this? Taking care of your skin from within means that you must nourish your body with healthy food. Diets filled with fried foods and foods with too much sugar can cause breakouts, redness, excessive dryness or oiliness, etc. This doesn’t mean that you have to give up your favorite foods, you can still enjoy your favorite snacks in moderation. Here are some great foods to add to your diet that will help you get clear, healthy skin in no time!
Omega 3 Fatty Acids
These fatty acids help your skin stay hydrated and also help preserve collagen in your skin which keeps it supple, firm, and more youthful. These acids can also smooth dry, flaky skin.
The best source for omega-3 fatty acids are fish like salmon, tuna, and mackerel
Flaxseeds and chia seeds- add ground flax seeds to smoothies and shakes or try making a delicious chia seed pudding
Soybeans- tofu
Walnuts- add to oatmeal, smoothies, cereal
Antioxidants
Foods rich in antioxidants can reduce the risk of many diseases, help clear your skin, and boost your overall health. Try incorporating some of these delicious foods in your diet:
Fruits such as peaches, cherries, apples, watermelon, papaya
All berries, especially blueberries
Vegetables such as carrots, dark leafy greens, broccoli, artichokes
Green tea
Now that you know more about what foods can help you achieve clear, glowy skin, let’s dive into some easy recipes.
Green Smoothie Recipe
This smoothie is filled with amazing ingredients that can boost your overall health and clear your skin.
2 cups of spinach
1 cup of almond milk
½ cup of plain greek yogurt
½ cup of strawberries
½ blueberries
½ banana
¼ cup of walnuts
Blend it all up, pour the smoothie into your favorite cup, and enjoy :)
The Best Chia Seed Pudding
Chia seeds have so many amazing benefits. They are filled with omega-3 fatty acids, they can aid in digestion, and help clear up your skin. My favorite way to add more chia seeds to my diet is to make a chia seed pudding. Here is the recipe:
2 tbsp. Chia seeds
½ of almond or any milky of your choice
1 tsp. of honey or any sweetener you like
Whatever toppings you like I like adding strawberries, blueberries, and bananas
Pour the chia seeds, milk, and sweetener into a container and mix until well combined. Then let it rest for a few minutes before mixing everything together one more time. Add your favorite toppings and you are ready to enjoy a delicious breakfast!
Key Takeaways
Remember that having a great skin care routine that works for you is only one part of the process to getting clear, glowy skin. You must also take care of your diet and health. You don’t have to eat sad looking salads to get clear skin, eat whatever foods you like that will nourish your body and keep you healthy.

Hey Babessss,
Thanks to everyone who joined today's Live at 12:40pm EST for some some skincare and vibes, and a course a WISH on the side.
Check out the playlist from our live together! Today we had some major Jhene Aiko vibes <3 This playlist is perfect for driving, cleaning the crib with a Jay, having some tea and journaling, whatever your heart desires...
Skincare today:
The two tools I used on my face today were called : Jade Gua Sha stone and two Jade Facial Rollers. I also used a tiny bit of Brightening Oil by a brand called "Red Earth".
Below is the recipe for my "Beautiful Girl" Smoothie that will have your skin popping like mine! The mango in the smoothie also works with the thc in whatever your blazing!
1 medium sized banana (organic preferred, ripe is best).
1.5 cups coconut milk (unsweetened).
1/2 cup frozen mango
A few chunks of frozen pineapple (fresh works as well, not too many, pineapple has a lot of natural sugars!)
1 large scoop plain non fat greek yogurt (leave this out if you want this smoothie to be Vegan).
1 small scoop of coconut oil (cold pressed, organic)
1 dash of turmeric (turmeric is anti inflammatory! so good for you babes!)
1 small dash of ground ginger (fresh also works, wash and peel first!)
Optional:
A small dash of raw oatmeal
A sprinkle of Chia seeds
A sprinkle of coconut flakes
A drizzle of honey
Instructions: Blend ingredients in ninja or bullet blender until smooth. Enjoy cold.

Researching this weird ass thesis. Honestly quetiapine/olanzapine/risperidone smoothies (haters will call it antipsychosis polypharmacy) sounds delicious, even if every paper I read is so pressed about it
