Because that dampness is your secret weapon! Putting moisturizer on slightly wet skin helps trap that extra water. It’s like sealing in hydration before it can evaporate. This makes your moisturizer work much better, leaving your skin feeling plumper and smoother for longer. If you wait until your skin is completely dry, you’re starting from a less hydrated place. Think of it as giving your skin a big drink of water and then putting a lid on it.
This is a common worry, but you don’t need to choose between healthy skin and healthy bones. No sunscreen blocks 100% of the sun’s rays, so you still get some vitamin D. It’s also very easy to get enough vitamin D from foods like fatty fish and fortified milk, or from a simple daily supplement. Relying on unprotected sun exposure for vitamin D is like getting water from a fire hose—it causes way more damage than good.
Yes, this is a smart strategy. Your daytime moisturizer should have sunscreen (SPF 30 or more) to protect your skin from the sun, which is a major cause of lines. Your nighttime moisturizer can be a bit richer. At night, your skin works to repair itself. A good night cream gives it extra nutrients and moisture to do its job without any sunblock needed.
It’s better to eat the whole fruit or vegetable. When you juice, you often remove the healthy fiber and can end up drinking a lot of sugar very quickly. Eating an orange or blending a smoothie with spinach keeps that good fiber. Fiber helps your body process the sugars slowly and is great for your whole body. For your skin, you want the complete package of nutrients, not just the sweet juice.
