Have you ever heard that you can drink your sunscreen? I’m not referring to drinking any kind of skincare product. Rather, you can amplify your body’s ability to naturally harmonize with sunlight. The flavonoids, polyphenols, and antioxidants found in some foods actually offer you anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. These foods prepare your skin with an “internal sunscreen” of sorts that helps your skin’s photoprotective UV filters better do their job.
One of these high antioxidant, highly anti-inflammatory foods is green tea. Green Tea was found in this study to induce rapid DNA repair, and support the integrity of healthy skin.
Additionally, this superfood green tea drink offers you some more systemic benefits:
-Functional mushrooms naturally support your body’s immune defenses,
-A coconut-based creamer adds some healthy fats,
-Collagen adds a dose of protein,
-Stevia adds a low glycemic sweetener to amplify the taste (stevia also naturally helps to dissolve biofilms in the body).
Bon appétit!
