The Fruit Your Skin Craves

By RealAge

This Week's Tips

If you're slathering on sunscreen through the winter months, good for you! Your skin still needs it even if it's chilly outside.

And here's something else you can do for your skin this season: Stock up on sweet, juicy oranges. The reason?

Fabulous Flavonone
Oranges are ripe with naringenin, a naturally occurring flavonone that may help shield skin from UV rays. It won't replace regular sunscreen use, but researchers hope it may help stop skin-cell death. Read this article for more foods you should eat to help your skin look younger.

5 More Winter Skin-Savers
Here are five other ways to help keep your skin supple this winter:

  1. Get a humidifier for your home.
  2. Use the right cleanser for your skin. (Here's how to choose.)
  3. Cut back on superhot showers -- they dry out skin.
  4. Slather on an emollient-rich cream after bathing. (What's the difference between emollients and humectants?)
  5. Pick the right sunscreen. (Here are some basic things you should know about yours.)

Are you doing the right things for your unique skin? Find out by answering these questions about your skin tone, skin type, and daily habits.
