The Skin-Boosting Potion: A Morning Elixir for Radiance by Danuta Mieloch
In my years as an esthetician, I’ve learned that true beauty starts from within. The skin is a reflection of how we nourish our bodies, and one of the best ways to achieve that coveted glow is through intentional, nutrient-rich ingredients. That’s why I start my mornings with a skin-boosting elixir—an effortless blend of superfoods designed to hydrate, strengthen, and illuminate the complexion from the inside out.
The Ingredients:
Every element in this morning potion plays a role in promoting collagen production, reducing inflammation, and enhancing elasticity.
- Coconut Milk & Coconut Water – A hydration powerhouse, rich in lauric acid and electrolytes to plump the skin and support moisture balance. I use: Native Forest Coconut Milk & Trader Joe’s Coconut Water
- Kiwi & Raspberries – These vitamin C-rich fruits are essential for collagen synthesis, helping to brighten the skin and combat oxidative stress.
- Banana – Not just for texture, but also for potassium and vitamin B6, which help maintain skin’s hydration and elasticity.
- Chia, Hemp & Pumpkin Seeds – A trio of omega-3s, zinc, and protein to fight inflammation, promote skin renewal, and strengthen the skin barrier. I use: Anthony’s organic pumpkin seeds and Spectrum Flax Seeds, Chia Seeds
- Your Favorite Protein, Collagen, or Skincare Supplement – To enhance skin resilience, promote firmness, and support overall cellular repair. Try Vital Proteins Collagen Peptide Powder
- Plant-Based Protein Powder – For amino acids that fortify the skin, hair, and nails while keeping energy levels steady throughout the day. I use Garden of Life Raw Organic, Plant-based Protein Powder
Why This Potion Works
Your skin craves hydration, essential fatty acids, and antioxidants to counteract daily stressors and maintain that lit-from-within radiance. This blend not only supports skin health but also balances blood sugar, reduces inflammation, and keeps you feeling energized—all key elements in a holistic approach to beauty.
How to Make It
Toss everything into a high-speed blender, blend until smooth, and enjoy immediately. Your skin—and your body—will thank you.
Because skincare isn’t just what you apply; it’s what you nourish yourself with every day. Glow starts here.
