I agree with the others that you’d have to “take this” daily to have any real skin care effect, but on the other hand, any clean, green water based eating like this is good for your skin, but this isn’t going to help unless you eat green and lean consistently. You need a water based diet (meaning lots of fruits and vegetables) and this does fall into those guidelines, but if you chase popcorn with it, not so useful!
Honestly can’t speak to the skin care — I think I’d have to consume it daily — but it’s a good green juicy smoothie nonetheless
I’m not sure how great it was for my skin — all healthful, green and nutritious foods are good for your skin, so with that in mind … yes. But it’s a good smoothie by any description.
