HOW THIS $3 PRODUCE ITEMS BEATS RETINOL
Good Morning, Gorgeous!
Ever wish you could bottle that "just back from vacation" glow without the sunburn? If you're over 40, your skin's playing a new game (thanks, hormones), and those beach days can leave more than just tan lines. But guess what? Your fridge is your new skincare BFF. And we’re here to show you how to munch your way to fabulous skin!
What’s Happening in Your Skin Right Now
The Situation: Over 40? Your skin's changing, and it’s not just the sun you need to watch out for.
Fun times, right?
The Reality: You can snack your way to better skin. Seriously. Let’s dive into the delicious details...
HERE’S SOME HELP »
Giving you the science on garden veggies to help you live longer & look younger!
#1 TOMATOES: NATURE’S SUNSCREEN
The tasty way to boost your skin's defense!
WHAT’S UP: Tomatoes are packed with lycopene, a superhero antioxidant that helps shield your skin from UV damage. Think of them as your skin’s little bodyguards — not a replacement for SPF, but a fab sidekick.
SNACK ATTACK Enjoy them in salads, sandwiches, or just sliced with a sprinkle of sea salt. Simple, tasty, and glow-worthy!
#2 GREEN TEA: SIP OR SOOTHE (or both)
Your skin’s chill-out message in a cup.
WHAT’S UP: Green tea’s catechins (fancy antioxidants) reduce redness, calm inflammation, and protect against UV rays.
DOUBLE DUTY: Sip it or use it topically — a green tea serum can double down on glow by soothing and strengthening your skin barrier. Need another sign? It boosts your red light therapy too!
Hello Hydration?…it’s mommy calling 😀
#3 CARROTS & THE BETA-CAROTENE BOOST
For fresher, smoother skin.
WHAT’S UP: Carrots are loaded with beta-carotene, which your body turns into vitamin A — the MVP of cell turnover and repair.
PRO TIP, SUMMER COOKOUT STYLE:
Roast carrots, sweet potatoes, and a splash of olive oil and then throw them on the grill for a 3-5 minutes for a glow-friendly side dish.
#4 HYDRATION NATION
Because hydration should feel luxe.
WHAT’S UP: None of these work if you're dehydrated. Water helps flush out toxins and keeps your skin looking plump.
SPA VIBES: Add cucumber or lemon slices to make it feel spa-like.
DON’T LIKE THE TASTE OF WATER?
Girl, SAME….
Here’s how my friend Crissy and I like to fancy up our boring-ass water »
The Bottom Line:
You don’t need a 10-step skincare routine or an IV drip of vitamin C. Just smart snacks (or supplements) good hydration, and a sprinkle of self-care can keep your skin glowing all summer.
Ready to glow up?
Your summer skin plan starts in the kitchen (and in your skincare drawer).
Have an amazing week!

P.P.S. Forward this to that friend who thinks SPF 15 in her foundation counts as sun protection. Her future skin will thank you (and so will she when people start asking for her secrets).
