Carrot Juice. Seriously. Even if you mix it with apples or something so it tastes better. Drink a good glass or 2 of that a day. My skin always looks better on a fast and it's because of the carrot juice.. (when I do the MC, I just get pale and zits although its supposedly detox..whatever) Every time I go off a fast and slack on drinking any juices I lose it. But just drinking 2 10-16oz glasses of carrot juice a day and it looks good again. And no, the bottled stuff isn't the same.


As for Creams - Something like this would be good.

Expensive, but no chemicals.


Stay away from Chemicals. It's short term fix. I don't know how old you are but look at women who use a bunch of creams and caked on makeup, the general unhealthy and yucky look to their skin shows through as they get even older and the makeup is less effective. Get that "youthful" look you want from the inside.

Depends on your skin type. Do you have oily, dry? If you have really oily skin it's best to use a cleanser with salicylic acid and AHA because they do a good job of cleansing the pores and reducing oil. If you have dry skin, try some milk based cleansers because they soften the skin or if you are really dry try DHC cleanser. I had to stop taking it because it made my skin too oily but DHC would be good for extremely dry. As far as creams go, I have yet from Mary Kay to Murad to Zia, found one that really suited my needs but Eminence Organic skin products sounds pretty good, I just have to try them out. They have a Thermal whip moisturizer that I'm dying to try.
Also, keep eating your veggies but also look into powdered sulfur to mix with your powdered vit. C and drink that several times a day. I find that drinking green liquids like liquid chlorophyll and juicing dark green lettuces does wonders for the skin. If you are not too dry, then try looking into herbal facial steams. Lastly, one really weird thing I've done a few times was to mix some (not alot) of pure bleach in my water. Not only did I smell heavenly but a dermatologist's assistant (when I was going in for RetinA) made the comment that my skin looked really nice and soft. What I was never going to tell her was that I had put bleach water on it. I got that idea from a health book I once read on detoxing. I still do bleach water baths from time to time but sometimes I get lazy and don't do them. Not encouraging you to try something so far out especially if your skin is sensitive but just wanted to share some interesting stories.

But you need to take care of your external skin too. Exfoliate. It's the single most important thing you can do for your face.

Someone mentioned Salylic Acid. I use this everyday as a cleanser.

I get my stuff from here:
http://www.skinactives.com


You can make your own face products there, and get some they make up already. Very good quality stuff.

Now as far as moisturizers, I only use Jojoba oil. This oil is closer the skins natural sebum of any other oil. It's cheap too. I sometimes mix some actives in some and use it morning and night.

People often say I look about 5-10 years younger than I really am. Might be genetics, but I do work at my skin..always have.

It's a hobby of mine, natural beauty products. I depend very heavily on Skin Actives.
