Mason Jar Detox Water + Beauty Tonic for Glowing Skin

My favorite mason jar detox water and beauty tonic — easy to prep ahead and always in my fridge.

Some of my favorite beauty tips have absolutely nothing to do with makeup. They start with how we take care of ourselves—and one of the simplest places to start is hydration.

I’m sharing two drinks that I love keeping prepped in my refrigerator: my easy mason jar detox water and my famous beauty tonic. They take just a few minutes to make, they’re easy to grab when I’m running out the door, and they make drinking more water throughout the day feel a lot less boring.

My Mason Jar Detox Water

For my mason jar water, I use fresh basil, lemon, cucumber, and blueberries. It’s refreshing, beautiful, and such an easy way to encourage yourself to drink more water throughout the day.

I love making it in mason jars because they’re reusable, easy to take with me, and I can prep several at once. When my day gets busy—and it always does—I have something cold and delicious waiting in the refrigerator. No excuses!

My Famous Beauty Tonic

Then there’s my beauty tonic. This one has been a favorite of mine for years.

I make it with fresh ginger, lemon, cinnamon, and a little cayenne. I love incorporating ingredients like these into my wellness routine, and there’s something about starting the day with this tonic that just feels good.

For me, beauty has never been only about what we put on our skin. It’s also about the little things we do every day to take care of ourselves.

My Sunday Prep Trick

Both drinks can be prepped ahead and kept refrigerated, so I like to make them on Sundays and have them ready for the week.

And here’s one of my favorite little tricks: don’t throw away that leftover infused water! Freeze it into ice cubes and add them to sparkling water—or even a cocktail. Nothing goes to waste, and it makes something as simple as drinking water feel a little more special.

Beauty Starts From the Inside Out

Hydration is one of the simplest things we can do for ourselves, but it’s also one of the easiest things to forget when life gets busy.

I really believe healthy, fresh-looking skin starts from the inside out. Taking care of yourself doesn’t need to be complicated. It’s those small things we do consistently that can become some of our best habits.

If you’re as busy as I am, I hope these recipes make getting a little more hydration into your day easier—and a lot more delicious.
