FROM THE INSIDE OUT
Alfalfa Sprouts
Don’t underestimate these little guys in your quest for clear skin! Sprouts are packed with valuable nutrients to give you a glowing complexion (not to mention, better health overall!) such as calcium, folic acid, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, silicon, sodium and zinc. And that’s not all, they also contain vitamins A, B complex, C, E and K.

FROM THE OUTSIDE IN
Lab Perfect BB Cream SPF 40:
By now I’m sure you’ve heard of BB cream and if you’re wondering if it’s worth all the hype the answer is YES! What sets it apart from all the other products out there is two unique anti-aging elements. The first is Nano-Claire GY, the first patented liposomal encapsulated human growth hormone that treats fine lines and wrinkles. The secon is PhytoCellTec Malus Domestica which are stem cells from a rare Swiss apple (so rare, only three trees are left in existence) that have been proven to slow down and delay the aging process. Use this cream and I promise, you’ll look like you’ve been photo-shopped!

Bobbi Brown Moisture Rich Foundation:
Speaking of foundation, I have tried out a LOT over the years and this is my top pick. This formula is buildable, allowing you to get as much or as little coverage as needed. When my skin is in especially good shape (this is usually during the times when I’m eating a lot of the items listed in part one of this article!), I’m good with one thin layer. If my skin is acting up, I layer until my blemishes become invisible. The best part is no matter how much you apply, it never looks thick or heavy. Instead, you get a fresh, natural looking finish. (I also recommend the Bobbi Brown Face Touch-Up Stick for on-the-go touch ups. I never leave home without it!)

There is nothing more attractive, desired, or desirable than gorgeous skin. Fortunately, attaining this coveted asset isn't as elusive as you think.
The saying you are what you eat is especially true when it comes to attaining a coveted clear complexion; what goes in plays a huge role in what radiates out. When I tweak my diet, the first thing I notice is a dramatic improvement in my skin. You don't need to do a major overall and cut out everything you love as long as you also make an effort to incorporate some skin Super Foods into your diet.
Coming in second to what you eat is the products you use. I have been writing about beauty for five years now and in that time I have experienced many ups and downs in regards to my skin. I have also had the opportunity to try out hundreds of products.
