Here at Sevani, we talk a lot about what we put on our skin.  But, what we put into our bodies is just as important as what we put on them.  Fresh, organic fruits and veggies are so important, and often, so lacking in our diets.  When you give your body all these live, nutrient rich foods though, you’ll feel and see the difference.

Too help you get more fresh fruits and vegetables into your diet – and because it’s summer and it’s hot out – we thought we’d share these refreshing, all natural options for drinking yourself beautiful, along with some of the specific beauty drink recipes we enjoy every day around here.

Juicing

One of the easiest ways to increase your fruit and veggie intake is to start juicing.  You can create all your own amazing, and totally fresh juices filled with greens, berries, citrus, and whatever else you’d like!  We’ve posted some of our favorites below.

Lemon Water

Lemon water is an excellent beauty drink to have whenever possible.  Lemons actually have a variety of benefits for the entire body, including Vitamin C, and anti bacterial properties which also benefit the skin.  Plus, adding a slice of lemon  or a squeeze of lemon juice to your water is so easy, it’s almost silly not to drink lemon water instead of plain!

Iced BeauTEA

Iced tea is a traditional summer drink.  By choosing red, white, or green tea your iced tea will taste amazing and provide some priceless beauty benefits including antioxidants, along with Vitamins E, and C, iron, and more.

If you’re creative in the kitchen, you can easily take this info and make your own beauty drinks.  If, on the other hand, you enjoy following a good recipe, here are a few of our personal favorites.
