Do you have crusty, dry, cracked heels? You’re not alone. Cold weather is more than likely the culprit, but luckily, there’s a fix for it. Slather your feet with an ultra-hydrating lotion or petrolium jelly, then put socks on. This is especially beneficial before a hard workout. You’ll notice a difference after the first use. If you need additional heel healing, continue this process (generously apply lotion or petrolium, then socks), and your feet will be baby soft by weeks’ end.
Vitamin A is essential to keep skin’s elasticity, prevent dryness, wrinkles and aging of the skin. A person deficient in vitamin A will have flakiness, itching and possibly pimples. Vitamin A can be found in meat, milk, cheese, eggs, spinach, carrots, squash and broccoli.
Of the vitamin B complex group, biotin is the most important for healthy skin. It is available in bananas, eggs, oatmeal and rice. The body also produces biotin.
Vitamin C keeps skin well-toned. A deficiency can cause wrinkles and skin discoloration. As skin ages, more vitamin C is essential to maintain elasticity. Broccoli, kale, cabbage, strawberries and cantaloupe are all full of Vitamin C.
Vitamin E restores moisture to skin and slows the aging of skin cells. Vegetable oil, green leafy vegetables and nuts are good sources of vitamin E.
Iron transports oxygen in the blood to hair and skin. Magnesium helps the absorption of other vitamins and minerals. Zinc helps prevent sagging and wrinkles.

If you start using a gentle exfoliator on your face, your skin will look better. It’s as simple as that. Exfoliated skin looks fresh and flawless. There are many facial exfoliating options, everything from the Buff Puff to Microdermabrasion and Peels.
A perfect facial exfoliator that’s great for everyday use is exfoliating gloves. Use the gloves to gently exfoliate delicate facial skin. Since you throw them in the washer after use (much like a wash rag) they are more eco-friendly than disposable sponges and puffs. Exfoliating gloves are a must-have to keeping skin looking radiant. They are exceptionally great to exfoliate lips.
“Topical Vitamin C can prevent the consequences of prolonged sun exposure which can lead to skin cancer,” says Karen E. Burke, MD, in a news release. “Supplementation with natural Vitamin E in 400 mg per day has been noted to reduce photodamage, wrinkles and improve skin texture.”

You’ve heard the cliche, you are what you eat. As it turns out, that’s exactly right! Since the body doesn’t store excessive amounts of wrinkle-fighting vitamin C, you need to consume Oranges, Lemons, Limes, and Grapefruit (in addition to a multivitamin) to keep your skin looking hydrated and youthful. Oranges contain the highest level of vitamin C of these four fruits. Eating citrus fruits helps the body maintain high levels of vitamin C, an antioxidant, which increases collagen, the supportive protein fibers that stop your skin from sagging. Of note, collagen breakdown increases in your mid 30s, so be proactive and eat citrus fruits to help your skin fight the good fight.

Sunlight is a natural mood booster that when combined with a little fresh air, will give you a burst of energy. Experts recommend that you receive about 20 minutes of direct sunlight each day to meet your vitamin D requirements. Beware, however, as more sun exposure than 20 minutes can be harmful to skin. Be sure to wear an SPF if your skin will be exposed to sunlight for more than 20 minutes.
