Supergreen Detox Smoothie Facial
1/2 cup fresh kale
1/4 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon honey
Distilled water, as necessary
By now we all know the benefits of kale for our health, but the leafy green is also great for detoxifying and beautifying skin. Kale is rich in vitamin K, which helps reduce any darkness on the skin (if you have dark circles, you’ll definitely want to apply this under your eyes, but be sure to avoid getting it too close to the eyes themselves), and it also contains tons of vitamin C, which helps the skin to fight free radicals and aids in collagen production. The lactic acid in yogurt gently exfoliates, allowing kale’s nutrients to penetrate the skin more effectively.
Place ingredients in a blender, and blend on high speed until thoroughly combined. If mixture is too thick, add small amounts of distilled water to reach desired consistency (you want a medium thickness, but nothing too soupy).
Apply to clean, dry skin, and allow to sit for 15 minutes. Rinse thoroughly, and follow with moisturizer.
