This "Skin Smoothie" Hack Will Transform Your Complexion (No Blender Necessary)

Ever looked at someone's skin and thought, How in the world did they master that glow?! I shared the same sentiment when I came across the megawatt visage of Amy K. Somehow the content creator nailed a deliciously dewy canvas without appearing too shiny (a very delicate dance, IMO). 

Yes, you can find a variety of skin smoothie recipes chock-full of antioxidant-rich fruits and veggies. This isn't what we're talking about here. Rather, Amy creates a cocktail of topicals to glaze across her face and body. 

"Let me put you on the best hack for glowy skin," she explains. "If you have dull or dry skin, you need this. It's a little smoothie basically." Get it? 

A couple of caveats I should note: Amy's base includes a generous dollop of Vaseline, which some people choose to avoid for environmental reasons. (It's made from mineral oil, which is petrochemical derived and does not biodegrade well1. You can read more about those concerns here.) 

Feel free to swap it for a plant-derived balm filled with healthy lipids and antioxidants that replenish the skin barrier, like cocokind's ceramide recovery balm or Kiehl's Ultra Facial Advanced Repair Barrier Cream. 

Thought we'd leave you without a drinkable skin smoothie recipe? Think again!

What you consume totally shows up on your skin.

There's a reason Hailey Bieber's "Strawberry Glaze Skin Smoothie" became an instant cult hit. 

If you want to secure that otherworldly glow, you'll want to consume plenty of antioxidants, healthy fats, and skin-supporting nutrients like hyaluronic acid and collagen.*

Luckily, it's easy to check all these boxes with a skin-loving smoothie.
