    Cucumber Melon Detox Water Helps Glowing Skin Starts on the Inside

    We all need some 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!

    Ingredients Needed:

    • Cucumber
    • Watermelon - I like to grab a seedless variety.
    • Fresh Mint Leaves
    • Lemons
    • Water
    • Ice
    • As seen in these photos, you can get colorful paper straws here!

    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.

    How to Make Cucumber Melon Detox Water:

    1. In a two-gallon pitcher, layer the cucumber slices, watermelon, mint leaves, and lemon slices.
    2. Add the juice of one lemon. Pour cold water over the top. Stir gently and refrigerate.
    3. Serve over crushed ice with fresh cucumber, melon, lemon or mint if desired.

    You are going to love this bright and refreshing Cucumber Melon Detox Water. Lightly sweetened with fresh watermelon, with a hint of fresh lemon and mint, this water will help you stay on track with your detox goals. We have picked ingredients specifically for the goal of healthy-looking, glowing skin.

    First and foremost, we used the freshest ingredients to maximize the benefits of this detox water.

    fresh mint leaves

    Thinly slice the cucumber and lemons and place them in a large glass pitcher. Layer in the sliced watermelon and gently crushed mint. Top with a nice squeeze of zesty lemon. Pour ice cold water over the prepared produce.

    Swirl everything together gently with a spoon and chill.

    I like to keep my Cucumber Melon Detox Water in the refrigerator in a container with a tap. Easy access keeps me on track!

    Also, I'm just going to say it - I like things that look pretty (ahem, looking at you, Moscow Mules!). This detox water already has a fancy spa feel to it - adding a cute, colorful paper straw really goes a long way to appeasing my vanity!
