Maybe you add a teaspoon or two to your daily coffee or tea. It's in your favorite dark chocolate-you know, the chocolate that's supposed to be good for you? It's in cereal, sauces and in many places you wouldn't expect. What is this ubiquitous ingredient? Sugar.

Sugar is expert at making things taste good, especially foods that are labeled "bad" for us, but it's also found in foods we eat thinking we're being "good." Sugar is naturally found in fruit and while making fruit sweet and delicious, this is the kind of sugar that's good for your body and your Skin.

I know you wouldn't want to age your skin unnecessarily, but apparently, that's what too much sugar will do. My Beauty Space discusses this serious skin issue in some depth.



What if you added more fruit to your diet while simultaneously cutting out one soda per day? What if you replaced one juice drink with water? What if you started reading the labels of every food item you bought and made healthier choices by cutting out as much bad sugar as possible?

It would be overwhelming to do this overnight, but by making one little change per day or per week, in a few month's time, your entire diet could be revamped and your skin would probably thank you by glowing in its new and improved state. Want to try it?

'Til next time, my pretties.
