When it comes to flawless skin, juicing can help tremendously.  This is because raw juices cleanse the body from the inside out.  This usually results in glowing and beautiful skin.  There are also various minerals present in raw juices that can combat aging and have amazing health benefits for the skin.

In particular, raw green juices are extremely high in the mineral silica.  Research indicates that silica is extremely important for collagen formation (1).  This is why many beauty products will add synthetic silica into their products.

Luckily, raw juices contain an organic version of silica which is highly bioavailable to the body.  As a result, juicing fruits and vegetables high in the mineral silica can help beautify the skin and slow down the aging process.

In combination with juicing, it’s very important that you follow a whole foods diet.  Juicing is a great tool but does not contain all the nutrients the body needs to maintain itself.  It’s for this reason that you will always want to consume a balanced whole foods diet while juicing.
