If anyone out there hasn't heard of Dr. Oz, he's a doc that knows everything about everything. He's the co-author of all the YOU books (YOU On a Diet, etc), and went from being on a few episodes of Oprah a year to now having his own syndicated show. On today's episode, he gave some tips for keeping your skin looking and feeling soft.
- Add 1/4 cup of olive oil to your bath. I would do this if I actually took baths, but I don't.
- Exfoliate and moisturize at the same time, by cleansing with a poof/washcloth/body brush, etc using a moisturizing body wash. Check and check. Ideally you should do this while taking your olive oil bath, so the oil can penetrate into skin at the cellular level.
- Dry skin off after cleansing and apply moisturizer. Again, check.
- Make sure you nourish your skin from the inside by getting enough zinc in your diet. This is a new one to me. Good food sources of zinc are meat and oysters. Yeah, I don't eat much meat and definitely don't eat oysters. However, this is a good time of year for non-meat eaters and zinc, since pumpkin seeds contain about 70% of the RDA per serving. Roast seeds in the oven after carving your jack-o-lantern, or buy them pre-roasted year-round at most supermarkets (also called pepitas).
