The best way to start your day is with a glass of fresh juice or any other detox drink. If you have not tried it yet, now is the time!

Not only do these drinks help flush out toxins from your body, but they also help you maintain the health of your skin and keep you looking radiant.

First, let's take a look at why this works. After a whole night's sleep, our metabolism remains slow. Because we had an overnight fast, our stomach and gut are soft, which helps absorb nutrients. If we start our day with water, fresh juice, or other detox drinks mentioned below, our gut absorbs the nutrients to the maximum capacity.

Now the fun part, below are some of the drinks we recommend:

Lemon Water and Honey

Drinking warm lemon water with honey can work wonders on your skin. Lemon juice is found to be highly effective against skin disease-causing fungal growth. It also contains Vitamin C that rejuvenates the skin and helps promote the development of healthy skin cells. Honey has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that remove excess oils from the skin and unclog pores, preventing acne breakouts.

How to Make: Squeeze one small lemon in a glass of lukewarm water, and add two spoons of honey. Mix well and drink on an empty stomach first thing in the morning.

Fruit Juices

Freshly made fruit juices are high in vitamins and micronutrients that boost your skin's health. Oranges contain vitamin C and help fight free radical activity on your skin, pomegranate has anti-aging properties that help renew your skin cells, and apples have antioxidants that help prevent premature aging signs on the skin.

How to make: Use a juicer, choose your fruit, and enjoy a glass of fresh juice in the morning and get that glow in!

Green Tea

This is a great way to boost your metabolism. Green tea contains catechins (a flavinoid), an antioxidant that delays skin aging.

How to make: Boil water, and add a spoonful of green tea leaves (or a green tea bag). Let it steep for about 2 minutes; if you want to add a sweetener, use some honey. Enjoy!

Vegetable Juices

Like fruits, vegetables are a great source of vitamins and micronutrients. Starting your day with vegetable juice prevents acne and dryness and leaves you glowing. Some recommended combinations are:

Cucumber and Spinach

This combination is high in fiber and helps remove toxins. How to make:

• Wash and peel a medium-sized cucumber.
• Wash about ten spinach leaves.
• Blend with 1/4 cup of water.
• Add a spoonful of honey (optional).

Carrot and Beetroot Juice

This combination is a powerhouse of nutrients. The benefits are flawless skin and help regulate bowel movements, detoxify your body, help fight pigmentation issues, and improve liver function. How to make:

• Wash and peel a medium-sized beetroot
• Wash and peel two carrots
• Blend with 1/4 cup of water
• Add a slice of ginger for taste

Chill in the fridge, add a few ice cubes, and enjoy this drink on an empty stomach.

Turmeric Milk

Turmeric milk has been used for several health and skin benefits for decades. It is also used in Ayurvedic medicine as an antibiotic and antiviral agent. Turmeric aids to keep the skin free of acne, and the milk acts as a hydrator.

How to make:

• Boil the milk and let it cool down
• Grate fresh turmeric root (or use organic turmeric powder)
• Mix well with milk and drink warm

Coconut Water

Beginning your day with a glass of coconut water helps reduce wrinkles and fine lines. Other benefits include collagen production, improved skin elasticity, and skin hydration. Coconut water is rich in vitamins B2, B3, and C.

How to make:

• You can drink coconut water directly. No need to add anything as it is already sweet.
