Glowing Skin Starts on the Inside
Our favorite recipes are Southern classics with a twist, but sometimes we like to lighten up and create recipes that make us feel good on the inside and out. This bright and refreshing Fresh Mint Cucumber Melon Detox Water is a healthy and tasty way to hydrate your body for glowing skin.
The most important thing you can do for healthy skin is stay hydrated. Try to drink at least eight glasses of water per day. We all know that water alone can get a little boring, so why not make it tasty in a delicious + healthy way? Cucumber and watermelon are two of nature’s best ways to do this. Plus, cucumber helps flush out your body and skin’s toxins, to get through to a more beautiful you.
Ingredients Needed:
- Cucumber
- Watermelon - I like to grab a seedless variety.
- Fresh Mint Leaves
- Lemons
- Water
- Ice
TIP: This detox water idea is a great way to take advantage of fresh, summer produce, too. Infuse your water with refreshing flavor and increase your water intake to stay hydrated during the hot summer months.

- In a two-gallon pitcher, layer the cucumber slices, watermelon, mint leaves, and lemon slices.
- Add the juice of one lemon. Pour cold water over the top. Stir gently and refrigerate.
