Your mom always told you that carrots were good for your eyes, but did you know they are good for your skin and hair too?

Yes To Carrots is a line of beauty products that uses orange fruit and vegetables, along with mud from the Dead Sea to fortify your skin and hair. Carrots and other orange produce contain beta-carotene, which is known for its anti-aging and anti-oxidant properties. With a mineral content of 32 percent, the Dead Sea  is the most mineral-rich body of water on earth. The black mud from the Dead Sea works at the cellular level to heal, hydrate and revitalize skin, as well as treat fluid retention, muscle aches and more.

Yes To Carrots products include their Pampering Carrot Juice Shampoo, which contains carrots, pumpkin, sweet potato, melon, orange and honey blended with Dead Sea mud. The line also includes body creams and scrubs, as well as a day cream, night cream and an exfoliating mask.

Drink lots of water.
Not enough can be said about the value of drinking water. Water will clean your skin from the inside out. Drink 8-10 glasses of water each and every day.

Protect your skin from the sun.
Even in cool weather, don’t forget the sunscreen. Protecting your skin is the first step in insuring that it stays beautiful and healthy looking. Wear a hat to protect your face if you are going to be outdoors for extended periods of time.

Eat foods rich in antioxidants.
Antioxidants assist in skin repair and strengthen blood vessels. Common antioxidants are Vitamins A, C, E and beta carotene. Be sure your diet is full of healthy foods rich in antioxidants. Berries and other fruit are particularly good.

Exercise regularly.
Keeping your blood pumping will not only keep your heart and body in shape, it will also give your skin a great glow. Thirty minutes of cardiovascular exercise three to four times a week is ideal.

Get enough sleep.
Our bodies rejuvenate while we rest. This holds true for the skin too. Getting enough sleep will help keep your skin looking young and healthy.

Exfoliate.
Skin can look dull and drab if you do not exfoliate. Remove dead skin in the shower with warm water and a sponge. Don’t scrub too hard, which will cause redness and irritation.

Moisturize regularly.
You hands and face are not the only parts of your body that need regular moisture. Use a moisturizing lotion over your whole body, including arms, legs, stomach and back.

As the weather starts cooling down, your bronze skin from the summer will begin to fade. But you can still get a sun-kissed look all year long to keep your skin radiant and healthy-looking.

There’s no reason to go to a tanning salon, where you could do damage to your skin, or apply one of those fake looking self-tanners that oftentimes appear orange.

Now you can get glowing skin from a moisturizing lotion.

Aveeno Continuous Radiance Moisturizing Lotion is unique because it works for ALL skin tones. Unlike many other moisturizers that give you subtle color, Aveeno’s lotion features a patented dial dispenser with five different settings that allow you to customize your color.

This is a breakthrough technology that will let you decide how light or dark you’d like your skin to look. You can also increase the settings to build up the color gradually to get a natural glow.

You can purchase Aveeno skin care products at drugstores nationwide and also online at drugstore.com.

Visit the Aveeno website at aveeno.com to learn more about their products and find a retailer near you.

Recently, Vichy Laboratories introduced Lipostretch Contouring Body Care.

This product targets and restores skin’s elasticity, tone and contour. It is especially useful after periods of weight gain and/or pregnancy.

When you gain weight, even if you lose the pounds later, your skin loses some of its elasticity. This is especially true for those people who repeated weight fluctuations.

This skin care product is geared toward restoring your skin’s appearance and texture, while keeping it hydrated and moisturized.

Clinical studies have shown that in as little as a week’s time, women using Lipostretch Contouring Body Care have shown signs of increased skin elasticity and tone. In a month, skin’s density and firmness were markedly improved.

Lipostretch Contouring Body Care uses natural extracts from brown algae to help skin maintain its elasticity, pea extract to help firm the skin and yeast extract to help restore skin’s density. Salicylic acid also helps stimulate cell turnover to help smooth the skin.

Vichy Lipostretch Contouring Body Care retails for $29 at VichyUSA.com and at drug and specialty stores around the country.

Use it daily to help firm, tone and re-tighten skin.

It’s great for the whole body – arms, hips, stomach, thighs and more.

It’s mid-August and the weather is well, steamy! I personally run outside to get a well-deserved shot of vitamin D from the glorious sun, but the last thing I want is to end up with wrinkles, or dull, blotchy skin, or skin cancer! That’s why I always make sure to wear a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 when I go running outside.
