 Remember the old adage you are what you eat? Well, according to beauty beverage companies like BORBA and Glowelle, there’s actually some truth to this phrase previously popularized by moms trying to coerce us into eating vegetables. Scott-Vincent Borba is the founder of BORBA, a line of beauty beverages that has now branched out to other edible beauty goodies like gummy bears and topical treatments.
The man behind the product that essentially started it all, Borba found that topical products such as serums and creams worked when applied regularly, but skin issues popped right back up again as soon as the products were no longer being used all the time. He realized the body needed to be treated well to emanate a gorgeous glow, clear up skin conditions like acne, and fight premature signs of aging. Thus, the nutraceutical concept was born.
Beauty beverages are now becoming mainstream because they’re so easy to use. Simply down a bottle of your flavor of choice, and watch those blemishes disappear. Read on below for a few of the latest and greatest beauty beverage options.
Borba Clarifying Skin Balance Water contains a bio-vitamin complex, along with a scientifically-designed blend of nutrients said to help with clogged pores and impurities, in addition to allowing your body to help skin regenerate its natural support system and improve clarity. The yummy pomegranate flavor ensures you’ll actually want to drink this good-for-you beverage.
Drugstore favorite natural brand Noah’s Naturals recently debuted an anti-aging powder that you can mix into one of the eight glasses of water you should be drinking daily. Think you’re too young to prevent the signs of aging? It’s never too early to start strengthening skin against the effects of the environment. Chock full of antioxidants like acai berry, goji berry and pomegranate, it also delivers 100% of the daily recommended value of vitamin A, 300% of vitamin C and 200% of vitamin E in each serving (mom will love that).
Family favorite brand Nestle is behind the Glowelle beauty beverage, which is available in ready-to-drink bottles or packets that can be mixed into water. Whatever the formula, each contains high levels of antioxidants and fruit extracts, and are free of artificial flavors, colors or sweeteners. Whether you’re sampling the Pomegranate Lychee flavor, or the Raspberry Jasmine, you’re sure to look glowing.
You can also create your own beauty beverage at home. Check out the simple recipe below that will save your skin.

According to Latham Thomas, a certified holistic health counselor and green chef, fruit and veggie juices are the best way to keep skin glowing since they flush out toxins from our bodies.
When all else fails, simply eating right can put the glow back into your skin. Look for foods like avocado, which is full of vitamin E to help maintain healthy skin, and watermelon, which contains vitamins A, B, and C. Their seeds also contain essential fats, zinc, and vitamin E, all of which help win the battle against pesky free radical damage.
