Rating Summer Juices for Glowing Skin as a Dermatologist –
Fresh Orange Juice- 7.5/10- Rich in Vitamin C, which supports collagen synthesis and provides antioxidant protection. However, juicing removes most of the fibre, leading to faster sugar absorption and a higher glycemic response.
Watermelon Juice- 8/10- It is Hydrating and Watermelon is naturally low in fibre even as a whole fruit, so the difference is smaller compared to other fruits, but eating it whole is still metabolically better than juicing.
Carrot + Beetroot Juice= 7/10- Beta-carotene supports skin repair and overall tone improvement. When strained into clear juice, fibre is removed, which normally helps slow glucose absorption. A blended smoothie retaining fibre is a better option than filtered juice.
Amla Juice- 8.5/10- Very high in Vitamin C and polyphenols, supporting collagen but added sugar should be avoided.
Mango Shake- 5/10 for acne-prone skin. Nutritious but naturally high in sugar. Blending alters the fibre structure, and combining with milk may increase insulin and IGF-1 activity, potentially triggering breakouts.
