Gwyneth downs healthy green juices (kale, celery, spinach, etc.) in between photo shoots, workouts, shopping excursions- whatever glamorous activities make up her day. And her skin- in addition to her internal health and immunity- is reaping the benefits, most notably from the pH-balancing alkalinity of these green foods. A body in balance is directly linked to clear, radiant skin!
Check out her blog here.
MellowLOVE Green Juice (see below for specific skin benefits):
1/2 bunch spinach
1/2 bunch celery
1/2 large cucumber
1 head romaine lettuce
1/3 bunch fresh parsley
Pinch of Himalayan salt
Juice all ingredients and add salt to make 2 servings.
SPINACH: protects skin with alpha-lipoic acid, an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant compound, plus skin nutrients like vitamin C and beta carotene.
CELERY: calms inflammation, regulates body fluids and balances acidity in the body.
CUCUMBER: a diuretic (for this reason, cucumbers are a staple of models) with ample minerals for healthy skin & nails, as well as skin-soothing properties.
ROMAINE LETTUCE: a great source of skin-strengthening minerals like manganese, chromium, potassium, as well as vitamins A, C and K.
PARSLEY: a free radical-fighting food with three times as much vitamin C as an orange and twice as much iron as spinach!
HIMALAYAN SALT: yes, this one has benefits too! Himalayan salt is packed with minerals, including 84 essential body elements. Table salt, sadly, is stripped of this nutrition and can actually contribute to cellulite and health problems.

Hey Agnes
happy new year to you! :)
interesting post on green jucing, i tried spinach once before but it's so yucky, i just want to vomit :P
have you tried green juicing? i think it's an excellent health restoration program, to alkalize our body from being too acidic
