Enemies of good skin - Foods for good skin

Picture someone who has a seemingly flawless complexion: their skin boasts a healthy glow, firmness, regular-sized pores, and an absence of blotches or broken veins. If you don't have one of these people in your life, perhaps you've seen one or two on the street, on the bus, or in a supermarket. It seems that, if you want skin like that, you've got to pick your parents.

You've probably heard that the best defence against aging is good genetics. Perhaps this accounts for why stars such as Katharine Hepburn and Paul Newman have enviably slow-aging faces. While there is a great deal to be said about DNA, there is hope for the rest of us who were born to average-complexioned parents. Depending on the dermatologist asked, 75 to 90 per cent of our skin's damage is caused by us. More specifically, it is caused by the choices we make every day.

Fitness Tip

Try to get your spouse and your kids to work out with you. Play catch or frisbee with your kids, make fake microphones and dance to some music, or even run alongside your children as they learn to ride a bike. In fact, a recent study in Canada suggests that if you are active, your children are 6-times more likely to be active too.

Beauty Tip

Age spots, known as lever spots or senile lentigines in dermatologist-speak, are harmless, dark tan or brown patches – similar to oversize freckles. They are most often seen on the hands, forearms and face and they usually appear on your skin as you age – hence their name.
