Pom-Beet Brightener
Beets are rich in nitrates, which along with ginger help improve blood flow and reduce dark circles caused by poor circulation. Pomegranate, packed with polyphenols and vitamin C, helps tone the skin and support its structural integrity. Apples contain quercetin, a natural antihistamine that may alleviate allergies contributing to dark circles. The anti-inflammatory properties of both ginger and pomegranate help reduce swelling and prevent collagen breakdown. This juice is also high in essential nutrients, like iron and vitamin C, which can help prevent dark circles caused by mineral deficiencies in the diet.
