Jemina Lorenz used to think skincare was all about serums and sunscreen. And while she still swears by a good moisturizer, her biggest beauty secret now lives in her blender.
“My skin was always reactive,” she says. “Breakouts, dullness, redness—it just never felt balanced.” After trying countless topical solutions, a friend suggested she explore inflammation from the inside out.
Skeptical but curious, Jemina started researching the link between diet and skin. What she found changed everything.
“I didn’t want to follow another strict routine,” she explains. “So I started small—with my morning smoothie.”
At first, it was basic: frozen berries, almond milk, a scoop of greens. But when she learned about ingredients like turmeric, flaxseed, and ginger—all known for anti-inflammatory properties—she began to build smoothies with skin in mind.
The changes didn’t happen overnight. But within a few weeks, she noticed fewer flare-ups and a brighter tone. “It wasn’t magic,” she says. “It was just consistency—and finally feeding my body what it needed.”
Now, her smoothies are an act of self-care, as essential as her nighttime cleanser. And her skin? Calmer. Happier. “It’s not about perfection,” Jemina adds. “It’s about giving your body the right tools and letting it do what it’s meant to.”
She still loves a good face mask, but she swears her best skincare now comes with a straw.
