We all want it: healthy, radiant, glowing skin. But as we age, our skin can become dull, weathered and run down. There comes a time where everyone needs a little brightening. Years of sun exposure starts to reveal the detrimental effects of UV stress, which causes damage in multiple layers of the skin and ultimately diminishes our natural glow.
Brighten from within
There are several ways to rejuvenate and refresh dull, tired skin. First, consider what you’re eating. A healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables is good not just for your overall health, but for your skin, too. Eating the right foods will help fight inflammation, reduce breakouts and help restore youthful vibrancy. Skip the processed junk foods, hormone-laden dairy products and meats, and load up on vegetables such as kale (loaded with nourishing vitamins), fruits such as blueberries (packed with protective antioxidants) and wild salmon (with skin-loving omega fatty acids).

An apple a day keeps the wrinkles away! But don’t just eat the apple, use the MyChelle Apple Brightening series to help rehabilitate your skin with potent, proven formulas that reverse the many signs of unflattering sun damage. Sun damage can actually make you appear older than wrinkles.

Bonus: DIY Brightening Toner
A really great way to brighten skin, minimize pores and prevent breakouts is to create your very own low-cost toner to use two to three times per week. It’s easy to make with apple cider vinegar (ACV)””an absolute gem of a product (you can drink it, cook with it, clean with it, condition your hair with it or use it on your skin!).
Start with a good ACV (I use Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar from Vitacost, which offers it for much less than brick-and-mortar stores). In an empty bottle, combine 2 tablespoons of ACV with ¼ cup water, and shake. That’s it! Dip a cotton ball in your toner and role it across your skin. Depending on your skin type, you may find that you need to adjust the measurements. If it tingles a lot and feels active on the skin mix, add more water. If you don’t notice any response or very minimal tingling, you may want to add more ACV.
Brighten and bronze
