" When I heard about Crystal Light&amp;#x27;s new Skin Essentials that are said to be great for your skin, I have to admit, I was intrigued. A drinkable facial? Details...**** Crystal Light says their new line of powdered drinks, Skin Essentials, is packed with powerful antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin to &amp;quot;nourish your skin from the inside out.&amp;quot; I have to say, this does sound very appealing. We all want better skin, right? So the idea of drinking something that will take your skin from blah to glowing makes me want to march right out and buy a box--but I&amp;#x27;m not quite convinced. Here&amp;#x27;s what Hungry Girl had to say about them: &amp;quot;Developed with dermatologists, these contain nutrients from plant extracts plus lots of antioxidants. Fancy! In Pomegranate Lemonade and White Peach Tea, each packet has just 5 calories and no sugar. We wouldn&amp;#x27;t recommend swapping your fancy creams and moisturizers for &amp;#x27;em -- but if you&amp;#x27;re looking for a tasty new way to get your non-fizzy drink on, these are definitely worth a try.&amp;quot; I&amp;#x27;d have to agree. Want great skin? Drink lots of water and eat fresh fruits and vegetables. You could have a glass of water and a few slices of tomatoes and get the same skin-boosting effect--and save some cash in the process. Sorry to be a downer. It is fun to think that you&amp;#x27;re getting great skin by sipping a newfangled product--so if you want to do that, fine by me! Speaking of great skin, have you found any foods or products that really seem to be improving yours?
