HEALTH BENEFITS

Spinach provides the body with vitamins, minerals and fibre that contribute to detoxification and glowing skin. Not only do avocados have healthy fats and nutrients to nourish skin, they also contain magnesium which help to release tension. The anti-inflammatory compounds and plant-based fatty acids in flax seeds help the skin healing process and skin hydration as well as provide hormone stability in the body. Adding protein or collagen powder to your smoothie ensures the strength and repair of your skin tissues.
