Quick Summer Tips for Healthy Skin and Body!

You always want to start off with great foods and vitamin supplements! VITAMIN A, VITAMIN C & VITAMIN E are important to have in your skincare as well as taking in oral form. Here are some foods great for keeping young. Foods that have a high concentration of anti-oxidants are always import to all body functions. The skin especially needs those anti-oxidants to feed the cells as well as fight off free radicals inside and out. ( smoke, alcohol, sugars, pollution, UV rays, etc) The rule of thumb is brighter the veggie the more nutrients it has! Try to cook all your veggies on the al dente side in order to not loose benefits. Besides sugars contributing to weight gain there are recent studies showing that sugar in the skin specifically destoys fibroblasts and breaks down collagen and elastin which effects the youthfullness of your skin. Water, Water, Water! cant say it enough!!! Our skin runs on water, benifits of drinking water.  Make sure this summer you're all RE-hydrating your body.

*NEW* at the DeYoung Museum: The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier:
March 24, 2012 - August 19, 2012 Herbst Special Exhibition Galleries. Dubbed fashion’s enfant terrible, Jean Paul Gaultier launched his first prêt-à-porter collection in 1976 and founded his own couture house in 1997. Emerging as a designer in the 1970s, he developed his own dress codes that reflected the changing world around him. The openly gay Gaultier uses his designs to tackle gender and transgender issues through androgynous, gender-bending styles, meanwhile delving even further into some of the darker areas of the sexual revolution. Always provocative, he addresses issues of multiculturalism by bringing ethnic diversity to the Paris runway. Despite the gritty and sometimes controversial context of his collections, the clothes remain beautiful, superbly crafted with the finest dressmaking and detailing skills. This dynamic, multimedia exhibition will include 140 haute couture and prêt-à-porter designs created between the mid-1970s and 2010, along with numerous sketches, archival documents, fashion photographs, and video clips that spotlight Gaultier’s collaborations with filmmakers, choreographers, and musicians, most notably Madonna. For this presentation, Gaultier partnered with the Montreal-based theater company Ubu Compagnie de Création in the design of 30 animated mannequins who talk and sing in playful and poetic vignettes.
