by Ms Toi | Oct 22, 2010 | Eyes on the World: Who’s making it Beautiful
Have you ever tried to decipher the ingredients of your beauty products? If so, you probably felt you needed a degree in chemistry to understand exactly what you were using on your body. Then comes the realization that the world of beauty and the world of all things natural and organic are very far apart.
Aveda has helped bridge the gap between these two worlds by providing one-stop shopping for natural beauty. They manufacture a full line of makeup, hair care, and skin care products. The entire line is naturally derived from plant products. Aveda also offers salon and spa services for those who aren’t too keen on do-it-yourself treatments and prefer to be pampered.

![Sunny Side Up]()

With summer in full blaze, it is a bit redundant to remind you of the importance of protecting your skin from the sun. Overexposure to the sun is the number one cause of extrinsic aging of the skin and it also greatly increases the risk of developing skin cancer.
Most of us answer to the sun by slathering on SPF everyday. However, there may be another step to take to ensure that you are protecting your skin properly. You may actually need to add a few things to your daily diet. Foods such as tomato paste and flavanoid rich cocoa have demonstrated that they specifically aid in protecting the skin from sun damage. Several clinical studies provide evidence that eating foods that are dense in antioxidants internally fortify the skin and increase its ability to become more tolerant to ultraviolet (UV) exposure.
Eating antioxidant rich foods will never replace the need for using sunscreen everyday. However, consuming antioxidant rich foods can take sun protection to a level that’s more than skin deep. To learn more about the clinical studies that have been done CLICK HERE.
