Everyone knows that beauty comes from within, which starts with what you put into your body. Eating and drinking the right things can lead to clear skin, youthfulness, and an outer glow. We all know the beauty benefits that fruits and vegetables have and the fact that they help you achieve beauty goals; but what about drinks? There are a lot of products on the market that promises to give you the skin you so desire. There’s collagen, which is popular, and other beauty elixirs that parade themselves around as the best of the best.
But at the end of the day, healthy, beautiful skin can come from natural, everyday products. Here are seven drinks to add to your beauty routine.
Bone Broth
Bone broth has a lot of benefits. Research suggests that it can aid in weight loss but it can also help you get brighter and tighter skin due to the collagen it naturally has.
Pomegranate Juice

If you want skin renewal then pomegranate juice is your friend. Packed with vitamin C and K and omega-3 fatty acids, this juice can heal acne scarring and reduce breakouts.
Green Tea
With its anti-inflammatory properties, green tea is a great option to drink to preserve your beauty. It treats acne, reduces skin irritation, and it can help fight premature aging.
Coconut Water
There's a reason why people in the tropics often look young and vibrant. It’s in the water. Coconut water that is. Coconut water is packed with nutrients and vitamins such as vitamin C and can aid in breakouts.
Spinach Juice

Spinach juice may not sound tasty but it has a lot of benefits that you may want to take advantage of. This leafy green can reduce wrinkles and dark circles and keeps your skin hydrated thanks to vitamins A, C, and E.
Carrot Juice
Carrot juice is rich in vitamin C and beta carotene, which can help protect your skin from the sun’s UV rays and free radicals. It also helps with skin elasticity due to collagen found in carrots.
Lemon Water
Water is considered the holy grail for health but adding lemon not only tastes good but it also does the body good. Lemons have antioxidants and vitamins and squeezed into water purifies your skin and gives you that glow.

"When I graduated high school, I moved back to America, Georgia, and I ended up making, like, the oil, the Rose Galore oil, which is like the staple product of my brand. I don't know what made me make it, but I did, and it literally cleared my face up," she tells xoNecole in an exclusive interview.
"I end up selling it as a body oil first because, obviously, I'm 17, [and] don't have any background as an esthetician or anything like that. I just made a product that worked for me, but people bought it and was using it, and I reformulated it, and then it just stuck like with me."
While MoonXCosmetics is known for its facial products, it wants to expand to body care and home. It just released its new product, Moon-Gel body wash, and it's only up from there. As Mariee continues to grow the brand, it's more than likely that she will see more history-making moments. And so far she has.

When asked if she feels pressure to obtain more of those milestones, she says yes and no. "I did $1.8 [million] again, and then I did $2 million but I feel like now, currently, I don't look at that as one of my goals anymore because [of] the headache and just everything that came with it, but I was thankful and blessed to have that milestone, but now I'm looking for more," she says.
"I want to say more reach than more like fast-paced sales. I do want that. Obviously, every girl wants that, but I do want to have a better overall reach for my brand because I did take two years off so I was able to learn, [and] study a lot of different things. See how things have changed from 2020 to now."
"I did $1.8 [million] again, and then I did $2 million but I feel like now, currently, I don't look at that as one of my goals anymore because [of] the headache and just everything that came with it, but I was thankful and blessed to have that milestone, but now I'm looking for more."
Another part of expanding for any company is hiring people. Finding the right person to help you can be a hassle, especially for business owners who are used to doing all the work themselves. Mariee can relate to this, and she touched on this topic in her documentaryThe Million Dollar Story. She recommends having someone be your "right-hand man" who you trust to handle the ins and outs of the company.
"I could say, definitely get, like a right-hand man to help you within the process because that really was what helped me. I never had a job. I literally was 18 now, being like, you know, the boss of over 30+ employees at one point in time, and I didn't know anything. I didn't know anything about no W-2s, no taxes, no clock in, clock out because all I [have] ever known was my brand," she explains.
"So I definitely partner with people who are very skewed and versed in those areas, and they helped me get through it. Even to this day, I still have my same person helping me with hiring, firing, [and] doing everything that I can right now because I'm still learning. But obviously people get jobs young, so they have way more experience than me, but still learning."
And though she is still learning, one thing she makes sure to stay on top of is being consistent. Consistency is what trips many people up when it comes to achieving goals, but Mariee says it's all about scheduling. Whether it's when to post on social media or email marketing, scheduling it out can make a world of difference. That same practice also works when planning out her future goals for the company.
"Right now, future goals would be to drop at least five more products before the end of the year. We always do outreach, where we do drives and all that, but definitely do way more this year, she says. "Then really dive into body [care], and then hopefully open up MoonXBody underneath MoonXCosmetics to let that branch out and be open and definitely get back consistent."
