I’m a 49-year-old TV chef & eat my skincare – my ‘brightening juice’ boosts collagen & contains nature’s retinol for £2

TV chef Clodagh McKenna has revealed how she eats and drinks her skincare.

The 49-year-old beauty recently took to social media to share her juice recipe to keep skin looking its best and prevent ageing.

Clodagh, who has appeared on This Morning, said: “I'm gonna show you how to make my brightening juice, which I have about twice a week.”

“This is specifically for brightening my skin and helping boost the collagen and give me a little glow,” she continued.

The chef used a blender to mix it altogether but she did say you can use a juicer as well.

The recipe makes enough for two servings so you can keep it in the fridge for later on in the week.

She first used two steamed and peeled beetroot which is full of vitamins A, C and K.

Next, she quartered and cored one apple for flavour and squeezed in a whole orange.

She explained that orange is a beta-carotene, which naturally brightens your skin.

The chef also made sure to add fresh turmeric and ginger for their anti-inflammatory properties.

Last but not least, she added three carrots finely diced into the mix.

Carrots are full of Vitamin C, A and a natural source of collagen.

Vitamin A is also a natural source of retinol, which reverses the signs of ageing.

Clodagh added: “I'm just gonna blend this up and get glowing.

“And the last thing I do is I put in a couple of ice cubes so it's really chilled. Makes it a lot nicer to drink.”

The simple drink costs just £2 to make as well – way cheaper than buying a juice from the store.

How to reverse ageing in just 2 weeks, according to royal go-to nutritionist

LONDON -based Gabriela Peacock, who has helped the likes of Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie prepare for their weddings.

She told Fabulous: “Thescienceis evident that we all have thepowerto make simple life changing alterations to better ourfutureselves – no matter what genetic hand we might have been dealt with.

“The reality is, we all sometimes indulge in unhealthy eating habits like processed foods, smoking cigarettes, drinking too much alcohol, inhaling city pollutants, and even drinking water from plastic bottles – none of this is good for us.

“All this does is promote theageingprocess, but we all have the potential to change this.”;

It may be hard, but try to keep away from sugary carbohydrates, because they feed chronic inflammation, which is one of the worst enemies of reversing ageing.

Now only will you end up putting on weight if you consume them regularly, but your energy and hormonal levels will be affected and this will influence how you look and feel.

Whatever your age or state ofhealth, it’s never too late to reverse how quickly you are ageing and embrace theenergyand vigour of a younger you.

Antioxidants, such as vitamins A, C, and E, are essential in neutralising free radicals—the culprits behind premature ageing.

Integrating a spectrum of colourful fruits and vegetables into your diet provides a potent source of antioxidants.

Omega-3 fatty acids, abundant in fatty fish like salmon and flaxseeds, are vital for maintaining skin elasticity and hydration.

Omega-3s act as nourishment for your skin, locking in moisture and diminishing fine lines and wrinkles.

Collagen, a structural protein dwindling with age, can be replenished through collagen-rich foods like bone broth and lean protein sources.

The clip went viral on her TikTok account @officalclodaghmckenna, with over 100k views and 1,500 likes.

People were quick to thank the chef for her recipe and couldn't wait to try it.

One person wrote: “Gonna try this. I think blend it with coconut water.”

Another commented: “Nice smoothie recipe.”

“Sounds yummy,” penned a third.

Meanwhile a fourth said: “Will try this.”

“Thank you,”; claimed a fifth.

Someone else added: “So having that lovely drink every day, I wouldn’t need to take any vitamin tablets.”
