Bring in the Season with Beautiful Skin
The Californer/10051778

SAN FRANCISCO - Californer -- If your goal is to have better skin for this holiday season and put your best face forward for the new year, there are a few things you should know.

Having great skin requires a great deal more than taking advantage of the latest treatments.  Great skin and great health are achieved through the right combination of diet and exercise. Glowing skin is said to be a sign of a good diet, while dry, pale or oily skin may be the result of poor intake of adequate nutrients.  Skin is an outer reflection of your inner health. Every nutrient plays a role in keeping skin healthy, and the list of nutrients that benefit the skin is almost infinite.

The importance of water is essential to beautiful skin (64 ounces minimum a day), following a diet high in antioxidants such as vitamins C and E to improve your skin and your immune system at the same time.  Antioxidants fight free radical damage, and protect your skin from aging and pollution. A good multi-vitamin will have a baseline amount of antioxidants. You can also get antioxidants through your diet by adding a generous dose of natural phytochemicals found in greens such as alfalfa, barley, broccoli, Brussel sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage and wheat grass.

According to anti-aging specialist, Richard Haxton of Richard Haxton's Transformational Skin Solutions of Los Altos (http://www.SkinByHaxton.com), after the age of twenty-three very little nutrition from supplements and diet gets to your skin as it is the last organ to benefit.  Therefore, it is important to use credible topical cosmeceuticals containing at least 20% vitamin C and other key antioxidants such as alpha-lipoic acid, DMAE, coenzyme Q10 and grape seed extract each day to rejuvenate and firm skin, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and keep your skin looking youthful.  So this holiday season, may the first glow in the room start with your complexion.
