ITMy mom and I believe that true skincare isn’t just about what you apply on your skin — it starts from within.
This is Part 3 of our “Eating Skincare” series: Lemon ginger shot （a.k.a. wellness shot)
👩🏻🍳The recipe
🍋 2 Lemons (peeled)
🍊 3-4 Tangerines
🫚 A thumb of Ginger
💛 1 tsp Turmeric powder
💧 1/2 cup Water
🧂 *A pinch of Black Pepper
(Optional, Good for Turmeric absorption!)
**How to
Blend everything, strain through a sieve, and store in small glass shots. Drink one every morning straight or with cold/hot water:)
🌱 Zero Waste Tip
Don’t throw away the pulp!🛑 Koreans love making a citrus preserve called ‘Cheong.’ Mix the leftover pulp with equal parts honey or raw sugar and store it in a jar. Add a spoonful to hot water later for a delicious, zero-waste Vitamin-C tea. ☕️✨
🧬 Why it works (The Science)
1. Brightening (Vitamin C): Lemons & Tangerines are packed with L-ascorbic acid, which is clinically proven to boost collagen synthesis and brighten skin tone. (*Source: Nutrients Journal)
2. Anti-Inflammation (Curcumin): Turmeric contains Curcumin, a potent anti-inflammatory agent that fights “inflammaging” (inflammation-induced aging). *(Source: Journal of Clinical Medicine)
3. The Activation (Piperine): Adding black pepper increases the bioavailability of curcumin by 2,000%, making sure your body actually absorbs the benefits. *(Source: Foods Journal)
Hope it helps! Glow with summer💫✨
