How To Eat For Beauty
Topical SPF certainly does the trick in protecting you from sun damage (and wrinkles – eek!), but don’t stop there! Protect yourself even further with a diet that protects your skin from sun damage from the inside out.
As Howard Murad, M.D., FAAD, Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine at UCLA, founder of Murad Inc. and author of The Water Secret: The Cellular Breakthrough to Look and Feel 10 Years Younger explains, “Although daily SPF moisturizers and creams are essential, it is helpful to double up on your sun protection through internal resources.”
