The Secret To Good Skin
In a recent interview with Elle, Lady Gaga said that the secret to good skin was lots of orgasms! The fact that she was sipping a vegetable drink when she said that was probably a more likely reason. On the other hand, the fact that orgasms can improve the circulation of blood to the skin causing some flushing , may have something to do with it.

But let us get serious for a while. Once you start visiting the forums online, there will be a wealth of suggestions as to what the secret to good skin is. Take your pick!

There are those advocates who say that you must always sleep on your back and that your face should have no contact with the pillow as this encourages creases and wrinkles to form.

There are the lemon, honey, almond and coconut oil fans who say that various combinations of these ingredients are great for keeping the skin hydrated and should be massaged gently into the epidermis.

Pure vitamin E oil derived from natural sources is also very popular.

As regards tightening the skin and keeping it firm, soft and supple, it seems that turmeric is the most popular. But milk, honey and clay masks are all popular too in using as a mask to cleanse the skin on a regular basis of all the dirt and grime that it gets.

But whatever home remedies will help us to discover the secret to good skin, we cannot beat having exercise, drinking plenty of water and having a really nutritious food which favours fruit and vegetables above all. The latter are great antioxidants and will be great at helping the body fight the free radicals which can cause a lot of cell damage.

The other secret to good skin is to minimise sun exposure and to make sure that we have an adequate sunscreen which does NOT contain oxybenzone. This latter ingredient is believed to cause various endocrine disturbances.

The safest option is to go for a sunscreen with zinc and titanium as they are regarded as being much safer. Even sunscreen sprays may force you to inhale some unwanted chemicals which could be harmful which is one reason why a cream is generally safer and also probably much better for the environment too.
