“I highly recommend it to everyone who wants clear and firm skin,” says March, a hot-ticket facialist with a clientele (and waiting list) full of beauty insiders. “Bone soup contains minerals that nourish the skin cells, and they calm inflammation in the body—and consequently on the face as well.” She ticks off its amazing skin nutrients from magnesium, potassium, and calcium, to amino acids, collagen, hyaluronic acid, and glycosamino glycans, like they’re from a Swiss lab. March got the idea and an original recipe from her acupuncturists (New York’s Christopher Chen and Naria Diaz Chi) for her Leaky Gut Syndrome, and her husband Rafael Rodriguez, a certified health coach in the making, tweaked it. “His recipe tastes much better,” March says. In addition to being widely favored by health gurus and Paleos, beef-bone or marrow-based soups are an Eastern European tradition, explains March, which she detested as a girl. She gets over any squeamishness now by viewing the bones as her healing ticket for an overtaxed intestinal, digestive system—and radiance-booster. “The ingredients are all good for strengthening the gut, and the skin tissues, and suppressing inflammation, which includes acne,” she says.
