Summertime Food for Skin Park City, Utah
Summer in Park City, Utah is the perfect time to visit all of the local fruit and veggie stands to stock up on all of the fresh local, nutrient packed produce. I know that skin care products cannot take the place of what you are putting in your belly. This is where healthy, glowing skin really begins. At different times in my life, I went on crazy low fat and unhealthy diets and the first thing I noticed was dull, lackluster skin plus breakouts and poor overall texture. I realized early on that if you are not feeding your body with healthy oils and nutrients, your face is going to pay the price and tell the story.
One of the most important anti-aging tips is to feed your face every day with greens, colorful vegetables, healthy oils, berries, whole grains,...all the good stuff that fuels your body, will also keep your skin young and healthy. a good skin care routine matters a lot but if you aren’t paying attention to what you are putting in your body, your skin can never be as radiant as you would like it to be. Here’s what is available now and how it helps your skin.

One of the worst culprits is sugar. One of sugar's most damaging effects is that it makes your skin look prematurely aged.
