Here are 10 Fantastic Tips to keep your Skin glowing. Taking care of your skin natural way, will
make all the difference in years to come



  1. Add grated carrots to spaghetti sauce. You won't notice their presence and their carotene will feed your skin.
  2. Add fresh spinach leaves to salad greens. Spinach contains more carotene than other types of lettuce.
  3. Enjoy a daily fruit smoothie made of vanilla yogurt and fresh fruit. Include apricots, peaches, mango or papaya as your fruit choices to boost carotene in your diet.
  4. For a special dessert that's good for your skin, place chilled melon balls in a wine glass; splash with champagne and add mint for garnish.
  5. Keep fresh broccoli florets on hand in the fridge for a pre-dinner snack. Serve with your favorite low-fat dip for a treat everyone will love.
  6. Make fruit a part of every dinner meal. Keep canned, fresh or frozen peaches and apricots on hand to add to the nightly fruit salad.
  7. Choose tropical fruit such as papaya or mango for a delicious new taste. Tired of the same old fruit? Go tropical!
  8. Add broccoli and fresh spinach to pasta or tomato salads. They fit into just about every recipe.
  9. Substitute papaya for tomato in salsa recipes. Not only will your taste buds tango, you'll also get plenty of carotene!
  10. Look for juices made from fruits high in carotene. Instead of the same old orange or apple juice, broaden your horizons!


Healthy Dos and Don'ts

Do:

  • Drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water every day -- add a slice of fresh lemon or lime for extra flavor and zest
  • Eat seafood at least three times each week for the oils found in fish that help nourish your skin
  • Eat at least eight servings of fruits and vegetables every day (choose a variety of different colors -- red tomatoes, green peppers, orange squash -- for the greatest amount of healthy antioxidants)
  • Make sure your diet includes 20 to 30 percent of calories from healthier fats such as avocado, olive oil, canola oil and the oils in wheat germ and flaxseeds to prevent dry skin

Don't:

  • Drink alcohol or Smoke
  • Eat snack foods that are high in fat such as chips, fried foods and chocolate. These snacks often replace healthier foods that promote healthy skin, and the additional amount of unhealthy fat provides extra calories
