I love to share about ingestible skincare- it’s actually remarkable it isn’t talked about more. Yes, what we ingest has a major impact on our skin health. And we all want to look and feel great right?
So let’s get straight into the what I have added to my routine that’s made the most difference.
First, let’s talk about coffee and the dehydrating effects of coffee
Coffee: the big dehydrator
Most Americans start their morning with a cup of coffee…or even 2 to 3 cups of coffee every day. It’s the most popular beverage in the US, it’s even more popular than water! Coffee does contain healthful antioxidants, but it’s also super dehydrating and contains excessive chemicals. I love coffee! But the pesticides that are sprayed onto the coffee crops, are quite dangerous, as is the mold found in most coffee.
Cortisol and anxiety and skin health
There’s another reason why I don’t love coffee any longer. When you drink caffeine it makes it harder to lower cortisol levels. If you wake up feeling anxious and your mind is racing the moment you wake up, your cortisol may be out of balance and your coffee isn’t helping.
Since I switched from coffee to matcha, I have noticed a huge difference in my anxiety, I feel calm energy when I drink matcha. I’ve been making my matcha lattes with Pique Sun Goddess Matcha mixed with frothed nut milk.
More on my glowy routine…morning
Aside from hot lemon water first thing in the morning, I swear by my morning cup of matcha to keep me feeling and looking our best! The chlorophyll content supports your natural detox functions and EGCG catechins help support the brightness and firmness of your skin.
Sun Goddess Matcha is 100% organic and ceremonial-grade, and is formulated with extra l-theanine for a calm energy. It also supports healthy digestion and gut health. Replacing my coffee latte with a matcha latte (I have a highlight on my Instagram!) has been a major game-changer for me because of the mental and physical benefits I feel immediately.
Matcha green tea is one of the world’s most powerful superfoods — one cup is equal to drinking 10 cups of regular green tea!
Nature packed the perfect combination of antioxidants, caffeine and l-theanine into a tea leaf. Unlike most regular green tea, when you drink matcha, you drink the entire tea leaf for a highly concentrated amount of nutrients including:
- Catechins to regulate ghrelin levels (your hunger hormone) and boost your metabolic rate
- Polyphenols to help your body’s anti-inflammatory response and support healthy digestion
- Chlorophyll to support your body’s detoxification process and support clear, radiant skin
- L-theanine to reduce stress and anxiety while giving you long-lasting energy without the crash
- Antioxidants like EGCG to help protect cells against signs of aging
Afternoon
In the afternoon I have been reaching for B•T Fountain. This beauty electrolyte is stacked with minerals optimized for deep cellular hydration. Plus replenish your store of ceramides for a stronger skin barrier, and boost your hyaluronic acid reserves (you need those to soak up water deep in your skin layers). I wrote more about my experience with it here in my glow-getting skin guide (where I spill all my skin secrets). This beauty electrolyte drink truly hydrates from within. It also goes beyond promoting youthful skin, as it is a beauty electrolyte that can help fight brain fog (and it is super refreshing).
You can also try the Hibiscus Beauty Elixir Tea. It’s caffeine-free, again contains lots of antioxidants and is said to help lower blood pressure.
I also add an infusion of powerful antioxidants with Daily Radiance. This is a liposomal Vitamin C necessary for healthy collagen production. I also wrote more about my experience with it here in my glow-getting skin guide.
Your daily skincare ritual – for ageless, radiant skin.
I don’t know about you but I love a good beauty hack and when Pique bundled these two products together it was a no brainer. And I trust pique for their purity and quality standards – unmatched in the industry. Pique teas and supplements designed for radiant skin and health.
The Radiant Skin Duo combines powerful plant extracts and science-backed ingredients in two delicious drinks, rejuvenating the skin from within.
Firm and brighten with Sun Goddess Matcha tea. Deeply hydrate and boost elasticity with B·T Fountain beauty electrolytes. Enjoy a beautiful daily ritual packed with:

This is truly a skincare powerhouse for

Prioritize how you care for yourself from the inside out
Here are the takeaways from this routine:
External skincare = limited impact, only works as long as you keep doing it
Internal skincare = deeply nourishing, long term impact AND makes your external stuff work better + longer
