The Today Show's Rx For Beautiful Summer Skin!

                          End Dry Scaly Skin! 

The "Today Show" cohost Savannah Guthrie hails from Arizona,
and although we're not sure she uses this product from her home
state it can help a lot of women out there.
The product: Prickly Pear.

The Prickly pear cactus plant is abundant in Arizona, (thanks to
yr. round sunshine) and it's being used to make juices (to help end
hangovers) and in beauty products.
And the subject of today's post is moisturizing Summer skin,
whether you live in Arizona or Kansas.
Prickly pear is rich in essential amino acids and water-binding
polysaccharides that hydrate and protect skin from harsh environmental
damage caused by the Sun.

To get the benefits and help your skin this Summer, head to
a health-food store (like Whole Foods) pick up a prickly pear
in the produce section, bring it home, peel it and mash it up in
a bowl. After mashing it, add a 1/4 of brown or white sugar,
head to the shower and scrub your problem areas. 

The shoulders, your cheeks, (both sets) your forehead,
your thighs and your stomach. After scrubbing, turn on the water (warm)
rinse off, leave the shower and apply your moisturizer. (Olive, canola or Coconut oil). 

Do this once or twice a week
and you'll keep skin smooth and youthful.
And one woman even mixes a little prickly pear with olive oil
and conditions her scalp, her hands and her nails.
One last tip, do the body scrubbing on the weekend, or on
your day off, why? It may cause some redness, you may want to
see how much redness will occur.

That's it, and for those out there concerned about Skin damage to 

yourself or your kids. head to Amazon.com/the kindle store and
download a copy of The Supermarket Rxs To Sun-Proof Your Skin.Don't become a victim of the Sun, let food be your Sunscreen. See title to the right.

Good Luck!
