We get it; you're tired of hearing about healthy eating. You know you should care because it's good for your skin, but what you really want is flavor—juicy, dripping, oozing yumminess. Is this too much to ask? Not at all! We know the most delicious foods for alluring skin (including chocolate). Let’s celebrate World Heath Day together by eating our way to attractive skin. We promise to recommend only scrumptious foods. 1) Go Nuts with Almonds The meatiness of almonds with their crunchy, substantial flavor is so enticing it's hard to stop with just one small handful. But that's all you need to get the health benefits of this skin-boosting food. Not only are they loaded with flavor, but they're also rich in vitamin E. This antioxidant protects your skin against inflammation and UV damage. 2) Spice it Up with Cinnamon There's nothing like the fragrant, spicy goodness of cinnamon to wake up your senses in the morning. Add it to your hot cereal, or sprinkle it on war...

It’s sometimes hard to gauge how much skincare product to use. You don’t want to use too much or too little. You want that “Goldilocks” amount that’s “just right.” Most People use too Much Product We all tend to over-apply our skincare products without even thinking about it. Maybe we subconsciously think the extra product will give us extra-good skin, but it doesn't work like that. The Right Amount If you think of how much skincare product to apply in terms of fruit, it’s pretty easy to keep things straight. Imagine the smallest amount as a pomegranate seed. It’s just enough to tap onto your face. · Pomegranate Seed Size Retinols and serums are effective in the tiniest pomegranate-seed amount. You want to use enough product to get the full benefit, but not so much that your skin turns red or dries out. Start small and build up to what your skin can tolerate. The retinol you  buy from your dermatologist  is stronger than over-the-counter retinol, so a little goes a long way. ·...

If you’ve admired someone's glowy skin lately, chances are they’re benefiting from the beautifying effects of vitamin C . You can have that glow, too! You just need to kick it up a notch with a great serum and good nutrition. Let’s do this together in Desert Ridge in honor of Vitamin C day this month. You Need Vitamin C You need vitamin C from a topical serum (and food) to protect your cells from free radicals. Your body produces these molecules when it’s exposed to damaging things like too much sun, smog, and stress. Free radicals wreak havoc on cells, they contribute to dull skin, wrinkles, and premature aging. Vitamin C’s antioxidant powers protect you from these free radicals. How it Works Vitamin C helps repair your skin by stimulating collagen production. This precious protein makes your skin supple and radiant. It also evens out your skin tone. So, if you have age spots or freckles, vitamin C keeps them from getting darker by blocking a key melanin-producing enzyme. It also...
