Vico added that she made the cast drink a special milk-thistle tea which helped them to attain the inner glow. The expert explained about the tea:
“Milk thistle cleanses your liver. When that happens, our liver automatically produces more glutathione, which then makes the skin more radiant.”
Jasmina Vico unveiled that this tea is a popular thing in her native country, Croatia, and works like magic on the skin. As she went on to explain more it was known that the tea was prepared by brewing the spiky heart of the milk thistle for 20 minutes. It resulted in a bitter taste that helped the liver to get rid of all the waste.
