The essence of healthy, natural looking skin is cleanliness and lack of harsh chemicals. You can take care of both by using a simple soap face cleansing daily and, when desired, a gentle makeup application with UV protection. Although mineral makeup is relatively new in the American health and beauty market, it is well established in indigenous cultures from centuries ago. Take care of your skin naturally. Buy mineral makeup for all skin types. Mineral makeup has UV protection and is gentle enough to use by anyone fighting acne.
To stay healthy we need healthy foods, and the best way to assure that is to buy organic. If you cannot raise organic food yourself, then support the organic growers and buy their products. To support local organic farmers you could search for them in your area and see if they have any retail hours for their products. Also look for a CSA, community supported agriculture, which is a subscription service for the local farm products. To have the freshest food possible we should grow as much of our own food as we have the space for. Even if you live in an apartment and have no yard, you could at least learn how to make a container garden for growing some seasonal favorites.
