Dermatologist Dr. Dennis Gross Shares His Must-Have Products

Dr. Gross starts his mornings with a good cup of joe. "I like and need my coffee. It's really my special time in the morning," he says. His go-to is the San Francisco Bay Coffee ($22) in French Roast; "I don't get sick of it," he says. This coffee is a full-bodied dark roast made with beans grown in Central and South America. It has a bold, full-bodied flavor and smoky finish. "I fresh grind my coffee myself, blended coarse — that's key — and use a filter drip." He puts a teaspoon of regular sugar and strongly advises against any artificial sweeteners, noting that they aren't good for your body.

Pro Tip: If you tend to get hyperacidity from coffee, Dr. Gross recommends not grinding it so fine but rather keep it at a medium coarseness. To him, it tastes better as well.
