This Skin Smoothie is built around ingredients with some of the strongest evidence for supporting healthy skin from nutrition. Omega-3 fatty acids and linoleic acid help support the skin’s lipid barrier, and research has associated adequate intake of these fats with better hydration, elasticity, and protection against processes involved in skin aging. Antioxidant-rich ingredients like matcha and berries provide polyphenols that help combat oxidative stress, which contributes to collagen breakdown and visible skin aging.

I also included prebiotic-rich ingredients to support the gut microbiome and the emerging gut-skin axis, which is the connection between intestinal health, immune signaling, inflammation, and skin function. Rather than relying on one trendy “beauty” ingredient, this smoothie combines healthy fats, antioxidants, fiber, and prebiotics to target several nutritional pathways involved in maintaining healthy skin.
