S igh. The silent ex-pression given after looking over those fun, summer pic-tures taken of you in your twenties. Those were the days - sun, fun, laughter and beautiful skin hap-pily displayed under shorts and sleeveless tops. When did my youthful glow disappear? As the body ages, cellular regeneration slows down, and skin begins to act differently, yielding dark spots, wrinkles, and rough, cracked skin. Thankfully, plenty of wholesome products from nature can help you maintain your beautiful skin, and this puts you on the winning side - allowing you to grow older gracefully.

You truly are what you eat, therefore an adequate intake of water and nourishing foods work internally and the epidermis bene-fits from those positive effects.

In addition to eating and drink-

The hydration pro-cess begins when water comes in contact with the skin, and the wholesome emollients seal mois-ture into the skin. Forgo products with harsh surfactants, such as sodium lauryl sulfate. They strip the natural oils from the skin, and hinders the goal.

Next, slough off dead skin cells using salt or sugar scrubs, clays, or a natural fiber sponge. Exfoli-ation is one of the most skipped steps in bath and body care, but is necessary for a radiant hue. Exfoliating the skin 2-3 times a week, softens rough skin, lightens hyper-pigmented spots, and al-
