Juicing your veggies is a good way to develop a healthier lifestyle. It allows you to eat a much larger amount of vegetables than you would be able to by eating them complete and it allows you to mix a range of vegetables together. You can change them up and manage an enjoyable variety while juicing. Some general vegetables to use are celery, spinach, kale, carrots, and cucumbers. You can even add up to half of a lemon or a lime, just peel it first. Note, you need to peel the carrots and cucumbers before juicing them as well.

One popular oversight that many people produce while juicing is throwing away the extra peels of the veggies they juice. Retaining the peels can be a terrific way to moisturize and nourish your skin. Vegetables, along with their peels can be used to create homemade facials. For instance, when juicing your cucumbers, keep the peel and place them over your eyes for 15-20 minutes or as desired. Cucumbers are recognized to reduce inflammation and can therefore reduce puffiness and swelling in the eyes. The cucumber peel can also be eaten separately; they are a great source of fiber, potassium, and antioxidants.

An additional vegetable that is outstanding for both juicing and facials is carrots. Carrots can provide a delicious flavor and fun color to any smoothie or juice, along with many vital nutrients like Vitamin A. In addition to health benefits of juicing carrots, carrots are also fantastic for your skin. Peeling the carrot and using the peels along with a layer of the carrot for a facial, and using the rest for your juice is a fantastic way to eat vitamins and also treat your skin. The peels of the carrot is not great for eating, but it contains many of the nutrients. Peel the carrot (try to keep the peels thick so you have some of the carrot in it) and clean it with cold water. Chop up the peels into tiny components and squish them until it becomes a paste. Add taste free gelatin to water and heat up the mixture. Once it's hot, add the carrot peel paste, a little bit of honey, and some juice and blend well. Let it cool down for about half an hour.

The same guidelines can be applied to cucumbers, just add chamomile or green tea to the mix! These facials will reduce dead skin cells, in turn encouraging the growth of radiant new ones. They will also invigorate your skin, leaving it feeling healthy and so fresh!

Next time you peel those veggies and are ready to throw them into the juicer, don't forget to use the peels and treat yourself as well. You'll not only feel stronger and healthier by juicing, your body will thank you and your skin will look revitalized and healthier as well.
