When it comes to beautiful skin and hair, you might be surprised to know that dairy products can actually hamper your natural beauty goals. We have been told since a young age that we must eat dairy for the health of our bones, to promote healthy intestinal flora (think Activia yogurt belly dancing ads), weight loss and for the cool white moustache.

April 17, 2012 by 8 Comments
Visiting one of my girlfriends in London last week, I saw a funny looking jar in the bathroom…one that I usually find in my kitchen. Sitting there a top some beauty products was a big mason jar full of coconut oil ready for slathering on her bod post shower. She raved, so I had to try. Admittedly I’ve thought about it before and used it on my feet as an over night treatment, but never thought to try it as {Read More}

In a follow-up to yesterday’s post, I wanted to continue talking about ways to clear up our skin and prevent many signs of aging, naturally – from the inside out.

April 12, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Sugar is bad. We all know it. It causes inflammation (which promotes both aging and disease), suppresses our immune system and our human growth hormone (the hormone that keeps us young).

February 29, 2012 by 4 Comments
Over the past five years I’ve spent way too much time on planes. What does this mean for my skin? Havoc. The best travel companion I bring (and use every night, even when I’m not traveling) is Uriage Thermal Spa Water. The spa water can often seem like a gimmick or a scam, but with 15 clinical studies behind it and the feeling I get after using it, I believe it. Uriage Thermal Spa Water naturally soothes your skin, refreshes {Read More}
