So, What Is Chlorophyll Water?

I’m glad you asked!
Chlorophyll is the pigment in plants that makes them green and helps them turn sunlight into energy via photosynthesis.
Still, doctors and dermatologists have stood behind chlorophyll’s acne-fighting powers on TikTok.

Plastic surgeonAnthony Youn, M.D., and celebrity dermatologistDr.
Whitney Boweboth approve of and have touted the benefits of drinking chlorophyll water for your skin.
The instructions on the bottle told me to add 1 tablespoon of chlorophyllin to a tall glass of water.

In fact, at first sip, my taste buds werenotexcited for the next seven days of this madness.
And honestly, me neither.
Immediately after finishing the chlorophyll water, I noticed my tongue was stained green, as were my teeth.

Maybe I just needed to brush a little harder that morning?
and didn’t suffer my usual caffeine crash.
That said, it was also Sunday, so I didn’t have to set an alarm.

I did a good job brushing.

Weirdly, the chlorophyll water also inspired me to eat better.
At lunchtime, I made my green drink, which tasted so much worse on day three.

However, I noticed no new acne forming on my face, which was a huge self-confidence boost.
And yet, I was still skeptical that it was the chlorophyllin working its magic.
Day 4:
AndddddI siked myself out.

For some reason, being proud of myself the day before only made the next day harder.
The benefit I noticed the fourth day was my digestion.
I had this overwhelming feeling of “cleanliness.”

I didn’t notice any new colors in my bowel movements (lol), though.
Maybe I needed to be drinking more or adding more greens to my diet to really see a difference?
In any case, having a green tongue was enough for me.

Day 5:
The fifth day of chlorophyll water was just as surprising as the fourth day.
I drank my chlorophyll water without any complaints.
Being over the fourth-day hump and seeing the light at the end of the tunnel made me feel motivated.

Day 6:
Ok, the sixth day was my favorite.
I was a big fan of chlorophyll water this day.
I was just waiting for karma to hit me at this point.
And now I canfinallyput this stuff away.
Drinking it was roughit felt like doing an unwanted cleanse.
Yes, I noticed an improvement in my skin.
It did look more clear to me.
And who knows what it could have done after more than seven days.
More importantly, what this weekreallytaught me was to continue to feed myself clean foods and drink.
My body needs it!
I think those two things were the key to the benefits I saw.
Again, it’s important to remember that what works for one person doesn’t always work for another.
Always do your research and don’t get your medical advice from social media.
Thanks for following along only my journey!
