We developed this soup as a simple and delicious way to nourish your body—particularly your skin—from the inside out. This straightforward, delicious gazpacho is a powerful way to eat your water, thanks to its high water content (about 90 percent!). Melon is particularly great for flooding the body with H2O, as are cucumber, celery, and leafy greens. Chlorophyll-rich, dark greens like spinach, promote tissue repair while the antioxidants defend the skin from agents that actively break down collagen. It's our secret recipe for a glowing, radiant complexion.
