FRUIT INFUSED WATER RECIPES FOR SUMMER

FRUIT INFUSED WATER RECIPES FOR SUMMER

Few days ago, while carefully inspecting every inch of my complexion in front of the mirror inside my dressing room- you never know when an uninvited guest like a tiny (*cough* giant) wrinkle decides to pay you a visit, becoming a full-time resident of your face, even if you’re still in your twenties – I almost didn’t recognize the one who was staring at me from the other side of the mirror: her complexion was dry and flacky, nothing like radiant, healthy-looking appearance I was used to. Ok, maybe the 2-3 hours I was planning to spend by the sea in the mornings turned into full days (nothing compares with a cold bath around noon); maybe the 8 glasses of water I was drinking on a daily basis turned into 2 cocktails + 2 glasses of water…it’s the little details who make the big picture. Aiming to regain the softness of my skin and fretting about how to maintain it for a long time, I turned to the oldest method I knew: drinking lots of water – no cocktail included this time. To add some “yummy” into the 8 to 10 glasses of water I planned to drink on a daily basis, I infused it with different fruits, creating 3 delicious recipes, set to wash out the toxins from my system, cleaning up my body and complexion. Keeping hydrated and radiant during the exhausting summer months – that’s the goal!
