We all want healthy skin that is glowing, soft, supple and radiant. However, our skin can become dull, dry or acne-prone due to factors such as poor diet, unhealthy lifestyle, air pollution, etc. Applying some creams and lotions may help, but detoxing from within by eating antioxidant-rich foods and drinking more water can greatly improve the quality of your skin. In a recent Instagram video, nutritionist Arjita Singh shared a simple glowing skin tonic recipe that you can make at home using just three simple ingredients. The recipe also uses summer-specific ingredients to combat the heat.
So, what’s in this brightening skin tonic?
Here are three simple, effective and powerful ingredients used by the nutritionist in this recipe:
- Black raisins and saffron water
- Gond Katira (Tragacanth Gum)
- Sabja (basil) seeds
Skin Health Benefits Of Black Raisins And Saffron Water:
The nutritionist explained in the caption that regularly consuming black raisins and saffron water in the morning will “significantly enhance your skin health and overall well-being, as it will provide a boost of antioxidants, essential nutrients, hydration, and detoxifying benefits, giving you glowing, healthy, radiant skin.”
Skin Health Benefits Of Gond Katira:
Gond katira helps reduce body heat and retain skin moisture, making the skin supple. “It can help reduce acne and eczema and soothe rashes and irritations,” says the nutritionist.
