Voice from the ground / official statement

“Nowadays, people spend on expensive serums, but forget about the internal hydration of the body. The kind of air pollution in Delhi-NCR causes skin cells to get damaged quickly. Beverages like fresh coconut water, beetroot and green tea protect the natural texture of the skin by fighting free radicals.”

If you want to see changes in your skin, make these beverages a part of your daily routine for at least 3 to 4 weeks. Nutritionists advise to consume only fresh home-made juices instead of packed juices available in the market, because the sugar present in packed juices can harm the skin. Along with this, drink enough water throughout the day, eat green vegetables and get full sleep of 7-8 hours.
