Face it,we love our beauty products. Since we were little girls,we’ve had funexperimenting with colors, brands and formulations. But just how much dowe know about them—about how they’re made, how safe they are, what’sright for us? Most of us are more likely to pick up a new cream or blushbecause of the pretty packaging, the color or the promise than whether it’sright for us and for our skin. And our skin is unique, no matter what itstone, color or age. Plus, that uniqueness changesover time. Just consider the major changes your skinundergoes between your 20s and your 50s. Yetwhen’s the last time you switched moisturizers?Not to worry. In the next few pages, we’re going to tell you everythingyou’ve wanted to know to keep your skin healthy and glowing—whateveryour age.We’ll explain how nutrition and exercise contribute to your skin’shealth, identify the best products for you and explain how to read makeuplabels.We’ll even expose makeup myths that may have kept you from lookingyour best.Why does all this matter? Because your skin reflects just abouteverything about you, inside and out. If you’re sick, tiredor stressed, it’s reflected in the tone, color and condition of your skin. Luckily, the opposite is also true. That’s whyyour skin is said to “glow” when you’re terrifically happyand healthy. So it’s important to learn about your skin and how to care for it. Then, you can ensure that the “outside you” truly reflects the “inside you.”
How you look on the outside reflectshow healthy you are on the inside.
All of these things affect how fastyour skin ages, and thus how it willlook,by influencing certain processesthat lead to oxidation and inflammation—your skin’s enemies. It soundscomplicated, but it reallyis not.Basically, complex chemicalprocesses in your
 
body produce unstablemolecules called
freeradicals
. Think of themas Skin Enemy No. 1. Left to theirown devices, they go on to damageotherwise healthy cells in a processcalled
oxidation
. This is the sameprocess that turns an apple brownor changes a copper roof fromreddish gold to blue-green, so youcan just imagine the way it canaffect your skin. Sun, smoking, airpollution and poor diet all speed upproduction of these freeradicals.Luckily, your body alsoproduces antioxidants,molecules whose job itis to sweep up thosefree radicals before theycan do any serious harm. How youtake care of yourself—includingwhat you eat—can increase productionof these valuable molecules, literallysaving your skin.
