The Detox, Day 5: 6 Pounds Down, Spirits Up
I've just completed the final day of my five-day detox and while it wasn't always easy to control my junk food cravings, grumbly stomach, and penchant for hummus, it was all worth it in the end. As energetic and light-spirited as I feel now after all this hard work, I'm still looking forward to a celebratory cocktail (or two), along with a heaping plate of sushi, tomorrow evening. To find out what else I have to raise a glass to, as well as gripe about, just keep reading.
The Detox, Day 4: Everything's Illuminated
It's day four of my five-day detox, and while I have to admit that my stomach's still adjusting to consuming smaller portions, I'm not feeling nearly as hungry as I did on that awful second day. But, I do have a confession . .
The Detox, Day 3: Jury Duty Calls
While eating the same thing each day on my five-day detox has proven to be rather blasé, I have found ways to add excitement to my entrées, which mainly consist of the same old protein shakes and salads.

The Detox, Day 1: A Farewell to Acne
Yesterday, I began my five-day journey to the land of detox, mostly in hopes of rejuvenating my lackluster complexion and recurring battle with chin and forehead acne. While I have realistic expectations, as I'm not anticipating perfectly flawless skin à la Reese Witherspoon in under a week, I chose the David Kirsch Wellness brand of detox just for that reason: it's a gentle detox, not a blow-through-your-system-with-fury type of cleanse.
Yesterday began with a grape-y flavored, vitamin-packed shot, a thick (almost too much so) chocolate-flavored protein shake for breakfast, and a train ride into work.
Feed Your Skin
During the Winter months it's really easy for skin to become dry, flaky, and sallow. Before you go out and spend your paycheck on fancy lotions and creams, try nourishing your skin from the inside out. It's important to keep in mind that what we put in our body is just as essential for a healthy glow as what we put on it.

Can You Sort Acne Myths From Fiction?
There are a ton of acne prevention and treatment tips out there, even more so now that we've all hopped on the crazy train that is the world wide web. Much of the available info on acne is good, but a lot of long-disproven or totally wack advice just keeps perpetuating itself.

Benzoyl Peroxide vs. Salicylic Acid: Which One Is Better For You?
Benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid are both excellent acne fighters, and definitely the most affordable treatments on the market. Almost any drugstore acne treatment is going to have one or the other. But it's impossible to tell from the bottle which product is going to help clear up your specific acne.
