"Maybe you should drink your skincare instead of using all these products to fix your skin,"
"This drink is said to be rich in vitamin A, but plant-based vitamin A comes in the form of beta-carotene, the pigment that gives many orange fruits and vegetables their color,"

Skincare drinks have surged in popularity across platforms, with Pinterest searches up 176% and Google searches for "drinks for skin" doubling recently. TikTok creators promote juice and wellness-shot recipes claiming clearer, glowing skin, featuring ingredients like carrots, lemon, orange, ginger, turmeric, cucumber, celery, apple, greens, and olive oil.

Eating whole carrots or adding them to smoothies offers a more reliable way to maintain vitamin A levels than daily concentrated shots.
