3. Rinse your face with cold water afterwards and apply light moisturizer.

By now you've probably heard all the things you should be looking out for when label shopping at the grocery store. Terms like "omega-3" and "fatty acids" have been buzzing in your head every time you head out to shop - but finding what foods have these magic ingredients in them can be an undertaking. If you don't want to spend more than 30 minutes in the store, pick up these foods on your next trip to get flawless skin and a glowing complexion.

Wild Salmon

This is your ticket to omega-3, fatty acid heaven. While it's a healthy fish, salmon, along with herring has proven to keep your skin smooth, according to Lisa Drayer, MA, RD, nutritionist and author of The Beauty Diet: Looking Great Has Never Been So Delicious (McGraw-Hill, 2008).

Your teacher said it in second grade, and it still hold true today - there are no stupid questions. This is definitely the case when it comes to protecting your skin. You might think the world of sunscreen should be cut and dry, but do you really want to end up with a painful burn and wrinkles down the line just because you thought you knew what you were doing but really didn't?

Is it just me or does lotion and Summer not go together. It seems that when I step outside the house fully moisturized I start sweating lotion within the first 20 minutes of being outside!! It's gross but true. So I was reading an article about Aloe Vera Gel and its uses. And the person writing the article used it to moisturize her skin with pretty decent results.This person lives in the Southwest ( which is very dry).

Aloe Vera gel might be the cure to my icky situation.Unlike the writer I live in Southeast Texas, where it is so humid you'd think you were in the Amazon. Aloe Vera is light and I've used it after sun exposure. I never thought to use it in place of lotion.This is something I will definitely be trying! So what about you? Do you have the same problem? How do you cope?

"We're now finding that UVA may be as or more carcinogenic for melanoma," he says. "Tanning beds are pure UVA. More young women have skin cancer from using them."

What's inside the bottle is also getting an update, with new liquid formulas (perfect for oily summer complexions) hitting shelves now. But
