Fight aging from the inside: Eight awesome foods for great skin

By The Refresh You Staff Category: Refreshing Experts , Skin

It’s not easy looking fabulous. It takes hard work and a combination of the right products, sunscreens and maintenance. But, did you know that what you put on your plate can also impact that youthful glow? That’s why you should be careful of the food you eat because a good diet will help give your body the nourishment it needs while also aiding in the fight against aging. Now that’s a killer combo.

1. Wet your whistle. The number one thing you can put into your body if you want great looking skin is H20. Drinking plenty of water will help keep your skin young and looking fabulous. Water hydrates cells and helps move toxins out and nutrients in. The more water you drink, the more you flush all the other bad stuff out of your body. Goodbye last night’s cheesecake, hello great complexion.

Wondering when to reapply sunscreen? There’s an app for that.

Not surprisingly, we’re huge fans of sunscreen.

But we’re also the first to admit that after the first application, it gets a little tricky… when is it time to reapply? After lunch? After the next round of swimming? After just one more chapter of that wonderfully trashy novel? Tough call.

Wouldn’t it be cool if your iPhone would nudge you a bit to let you know? Or maybe give you real-time UV index numbers? Well, it can.

Here are a few apps dedicated to sunburn protection. All of them link to the Apple store, showing complete descriptions and screenshots.

Sun Alert Lite and Sun Alert

Retrieves near-real-time data of the UV radiation for your location, calculates the time you can safely expose to sun and more.

Coppertone MyUVAlert

Offers local UV index forecasts, custom sunscreen reapplication reminders, individualized product recommendations for Coppertone products (of course), coupons and sun protection tips.

iSunBurn

Gives you the UV Index for your location and any location in the United States.

Pretty cool, huh? Of course, this all depends on having some good quality sunscreen at the ready, so make sure you’re stocked up. A great place to start is at Dean Essentials Skin Care.
