Plato said that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.  Fast forward to the modern day where Salma Hayek says that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder. This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look, including inside ourselves.

Although true beauty runs deeper than the surface, there are certain things that we can do to enhance our outward appearance and let our inner beauty shine through. The most vital thing we can do to improve our appearance is to practice a habitual skin care regime. The skin is the body’s largest organ. It serves as a protective barrier, regulates body temperature and acts as a filter. Skin exists in a constant state of growth, with old cells dying and new cells being formed. It’s affected by every aspect of your life, from what you ingest to the climate you live in.

You may enjoy these fun facts about the skin:

• Skin accounts for about 15% of your body weight
• The average adult has approximately 21 square feet of skin, which weighs 9 lbs and contains more than 11 miles of blood vessels
• Your skin is its thickest on your feet (1.4mm) and thinnest on your eyelids (0.2mm)
• The skin renews itself every 28 days

Planet Beach understands the importance of proper skin care and offers products that are pH balanced for varying skin types, and are packed with all-natural ingredients that revitalize and rebuild skin tissue at the cellular level. The following three products from the Planet Beach Face line are my top picks:
