Get glowing
We love makeup, but there's no substitute for clear, beautiful skin. There are plenty of products that promise to nix acne, redness, and other imperfections, but it takes hard work to find out which ones really deliver. Lucky for you, we asked Health editors and a team of pros to pick their absolute favorite skincare products—anti-aging potions, cleansers, serums, and more.
Buy multitasking beauty stuff
Look for products that do double-duty; try lip-and-cheek-stain duos, Rogers suggests. You'll reduce the amount of packaging waste—plus, you'll save money because you're buying fewer products.
Opt for organic fruit and veggies that are in season. "That way, you're not paying extra for the transportation costs to ship out-of-season foods from other places," Rogers says.

Health enthusiastics around the world are driven crazy by mostly exotic and expensive plants imported from South America and Far East. These are commonly known as Superfoods: Acai berries, Goji berries, Maca root and Spirulina just to name few. They are said to contain huge amounts of protein and record-high concentration of antioxidants. But are they really superfood or is all this just marketing bullshit?
T. Bjorck, Head chef of Asian gourmet restaurant Farang, says that he takes these superfoods mostly as positive thing. "I do a lot of sports and within these circumstances I have learned about goji berries and acai berries", he says: "Superfoods are mostly quite expensive but at least they make some change to my regular diet. At restaurant we have used so far only small amounts of sea weed and Balinese all natural cocos oil which gives nice smooth taste to curry and does not burn when fried." He also thinks that eventhough they do not have any superfood dish on the menu yet, they might add these on the menu in the near future.
