by According to Auermann, who began her career as a private chef, drinking plenty of fluids is key to keeping her skin full and her organs healthy — especially during the warmer months of the year. “My personal summer lemonade is a tonic I drank all year because I was flying as a private chef,” he says. To prepare us for the summer, she shared her secret composition, which claims to “fight damage and inflammation from free radicals, strengthen the immune system and balance digestion.”
Its “green lemonade” is one of the most delicious (and most beautiful) ways to drink a little skin-friendly goodness. Its main ingredient, lemon, is known to be rich in vitamin C — and the juice of the only lemon you use to make it contains about 50 percent of the recommended daily allowance. This powerful antioxidant is known to protect the skin from free radicals (which cause visible signs of aging) and help increase hydration levels. In addition, lemons also contain citrus flavonoids that suppress inflammation and polyphenols that research has shown may have additional anti-aging benefits.
The tincture also contains apple cider vinegar, which has its own anti-inflammatory properties, and malic acid that helps digestion (which is necessary, because as we all know, the bowel / skin connection is real). Finally, there is spirulina, which – in addition to giving the preparation its greenish tint – effectively helps the body eliminate toxins.
