The Five Day Juice Fast
A Full-Body Reset, Inside and Out
The feeling of sluggishness and lackluster skin can often come from internal imbalance. Just as a 5-day juice fast provides your body with a clean slate of nutrient-rich juices, a high-quality skincare line nourishes and protects your complexion. When used together, they offer a total-body rejuvenation that radiates from the inside out.
Your 5-day juice fast is the first step in this revitalization journey. It gives your digestive system a much-needed break and floods your body with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. The result is a feeling of renewed energy and clarity that sets the stage for more vibrant, glowing skin.
Complementing this internal reset with the right external care is where Aqua Ciele e Terre comes in. The brand’s botanical products are crafted to deliver potent, plant-based ingredients directly to your skin cells. By treating your body as a whole ecosystem, you can achieve a more profound and lasting sense of well-being.
How to pair your juice fast with Aqua Ciele e Terre
Here is a guide for using your juice fast and Aqua Ciele e Terre products in tandem to achieve a complete body reset.
The internal cleanse: Your juice fast
- Days 1-2: Detox and adjust. Your body is eliminating toxins, so side effects like headaches and fatigue are common. Your skin may also seem less vibrant during this phase. Focus on your juice schedule and hydration.
- Days 3-5: Renewal begins. As your body adapts, you’ll start feeling more energetic. This is where the internal changes begin to show externally. Your complexion may start to look clearer and brighter due to the influx of nutrients and reduced inflammation.
The external glow-up: Your Aqua Ciele e Terre ritual
- Morning ritual: Start your day by gently cleansing and toning your skin to remove impurities. Follow with an Aqua Ciele e Terre elixir or serum, rich in plant stem cells and antioxidants, to hydrate and protect your skin throughout the day.
- Nightly ritual: Before bed, perform a deeper cleanse. Follow with a calming moisturizer like the Damask Rose Face Moisturizer. This works in harmony with your body’s natural regenerative processes while you sleep, ensuring your skin is soft, supple, and repaired by morning.
- During the fast and beyond: As your diet is clean, your skin may become more sensitive. The gentle, plant-based formulas of Aqua Ciele e Terre are ideal, as they avoid harsh chemicals that could cause irritation.
The journey to true radiance
This dual approach is not about a quick fix but about adopting a sustainable lifestyle that nurtures your body from every angle. The juice fast is the powerful catalyst for change inside, while the Aqua Ciele e Terre products ensure that change is reflected in radiant, healthy-looking skin on the outside.
After your 5-day fast, continue nourishing your body with whole foods and maintaining your Aqua Ciele e Terre skincare ritual. This holistic approach ensures your new-found energy and glow aren’t temporary but a new, healthy normal.
What to expect and how to prepare
Preparing the body by gradually reducing the intake of caffeine, processed foods, and refined sugars over the past few days is recommended. During a cleanse, it is important to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and herbal tea, in addition to the juices.
It is normal to experience some side effects during the first couple of days as the body adjusts, such as:
- Fatigue
- Headaches (often from caffeine withdrawal)
- Irritability
- Hunger pangs
By day three, many people report feeling a boost in energy and mental clarity as the body adapts.

Listening to your body and breaking the fast
Throughout the process, it is important to listen to the body. If hunger pangs are too intense or lightheadedness occurs, it is recommended to supplement with a small bowl of vegetable broth or a few pieces of steamed vegetables.
After the fast, it is just as important to transition back to solid foods gradually. It is recommended to reintroduce easy-to-digest items like smoothies, soups, and steamed vegetables before returning to a regular, whole-food, plant-based diet.
A 5-day juice fast may be a way to reset. The feeling of renewal that comes with it can be a positive experience. If you’ve been feeling out of sync with your body, a reset may be beneficial.
