Try: Bone Broth
Green juice may soon lose its status as the "It" accessory of the wellness elite as bone broth creeps onto the scene. As the name suggests, bone broth is made by boiling animal bones and vegetables for several hours, then straining the liquid. The idea is that the bones and their marrow release nutrients over time -- the longer they're boiled, the more nutrients are released.
Depending on the type of bones and vegetables cooked, this trendy broth can contain skin-saving ingredients like calcium, magnesium, sulfur, phosphorus and glucosamine, which, research suggests, can soothe inflammation, translating to less-blotchy skin. And, according to Pasquale, because it's a good source of collagen, bone broth may help with cellulite and promoting toned, youthful-looking skin.

Try: Kalettes
It's the stuff of childhood nightmares and health guru fantasies: a kale-meets-Brussels-sprouts hybrid that is all kinds of good for you. Wu says that this supervegetable, thanks to vitamins C and K, can help build strong collagen, keep blood vessels strong (i.e., no pesky broken blood vessels near your nose) and encourage blood clotting to reduce bruising.
The sweet, nutty kalette can be roasted, grilled or eaten raw. We like the look of this kalette and orange salad -- oranges are also rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, making this salad an anti-aging superstar.

Try: Broccoleaf
If you've dined at a superswanky restaurant as of late, you're probably seeing a lot less kale and a lot more broccoleaf as the leafy green takes over as the superfood du jour. And, according to Wu, for good reason. "Broccoleaf is higher in calcium than kale, and calcium keeps bones strong," says Wu. Not only do bones, you know, hold up your face, Wu says strong bones help delay sagging and wrinkles.
One serving of broccoleaf also has 100 percent of your daily vitamin C needs, which Wu says will help promote collagen and prevent wrinkles.
