Nothing's more important to great skin and hair than what you put within yourself. If your meat has been treated with hormones, you might break out. If you're not getting enough vitamins and minerals, your skin looks dull and unhealthy, won't heal as quickly, and loses radiance. And of course, plenty of water is one of the most important things you could do for your body. Topical skincare is maintenance and treatment at best, but truly healthy skin... is grown. My two favorites are Mo'Beta and Superfood. Mo'Beta is an antioxidant fruit drink, as the copy says: "Scientifically formulated to provide a variety of essential antioxidant nutrients in a tasty whole food medium. A mango-peach blend with green tea, significant amounts of vitamins A, C, and E and rich in zinc and selenium." It tastes good... maybe not so sugar sweet palatable as other juices, but those are mostly sugar, water, and fruit juice, with little to offer but vitamin C. And they're not kidding around; the vitamin/mineral content is as good as a multivitamin. Superfood is funny. It looks green but is surprisingly fruity and good-tasting. "Superfood is a delicious way to get the green you need: fresh fruit combined with the earth's most potent power foods. It's a tasty blend of apple, peach, mango, banana and strawberry combined with micronutrients like spirulina and chlorella and powerful green foods like wheat and barley grasses and sea vegetables." Again, a powerhouse of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. These are very expensive, though. I get them through a meal plan, so I'm not losing any money, but for a real-world budget, drinking them continuously is an investment. You do need to drink them continuously, I think, to see effect. Internal treatments are much more long term, and you don't see benefits right away. But they're so potent, that you probably only need half a bottle per day. It's much like taking an antioxidant every day, but you get it in yummy juice form and some water to boot. Especially since someone like me can't get nutritionally healthy meals, restricted as I am to a meal plan. As for me, I've been trying this for a week, and I've definitely seen improvements. My skin definitely looks like it's blooming with health, despite any amounts of heavy partying.
