I’d like to challenge the aged old saying, “beauty is only skin deep”.If what we put on the inside of our bodies is a direct result of our skins nourishment, than that saying is not true. 
We all know that vitamin E plays an important role in our skins health.
Our skin is our body’s biggest organ. And, as with any of our body’s organs our skin requires an immeasurable assortment of nutrients to maintain its health. Cosmetics alone may not renew our skin cells to their proper health. Our skin is our most vulnerable organ. It protects our insides from many of the environments dangers, including the harness of the sun. Maintaining our skin from the inside out is vital and should be a “lifestyle” for all of us.
This week the Aveeno Pure Renewal challenge is about “Healthy Food, Healthy Body”. Last week I was challenged to shave time of my daily beauty routine and it’s been a wonderful blessing. This week’s challenge is all about beauty from the inside out.
While keeping up with last week’s challenges, this week I’ve added some dietary changes to my lifestyle. By simply changing the way I eat, drinking more water and exercising more, my skin is getting it’s nourishment from the inside out.
While our skin is our biggest organ, our body is mostly made up of water, averaging 57% of the body’s weight. Keeping our body’s hydrated is very important. So, for this week’s challenge I’ve added lots of fruits and veggies to my diet and am now drinking three bottles of water a day. Now, I know it’s supposed to be eight-8oz glasses a day, and I’ll work up to that. The important thing is to “start” and I’m well on my way to a healthier me inside and out!
It’s springtime and what a perfect time to get healthy, shave off a few extra pounds and look and feel you best. To this week’s Aveeno Beauty Basket I’ve added apples, grapefruit, avocados and lemons and limes to put in my water. A few healthy consumables along with my Aveeno Daily Moisturizer have me feeling totally beautiful from the inside out.
Now, it’s actually healthy to wash your hair every day. AVEENO® PURE RENEWAL lets you renew your hair to its naturally balanced state daily. Unlike ordinary shampoos, these sulphate-free formulas have Balancing Seaweed Extract; bringing hair back to its naturally healthy, most balanced state with each wash, for beautifully healthy-looking hair.

I need to take your advice and be drinking more water. I know it is important but I have a hard time with it. I can do it if it’s flavored…just can’t seen to if it’s not. I love veggies and sometimes just eat them for a snack, not as much fruit unless it’s red grapes.
Aveeno is a awesome lotion used it on both my babies when they were born.
I’ve been doing so much better trying to life healthier. I do drink plenty of water but could benefit from increasing my veggie intake.
I find it so hard to keep up on my water with two littles running around!
I have been doing the same thing. Exercising almost everyday, adding more fresh foods to my diet and trying to eliminate as much processed foods as possible. If you can Spring clean your house why not do a Spring cleaning on your body? And it has been helping loads with my skin and hair too 🙂
My Shelby Loves Pillow Pets.
and about this post yes Aveno very good and yes I drink lots of water
really want to try these 🙂
I agree I never drink just water alone and could drink it. I tend to have dry, itchy skin and I know the lack of water is the reason
Aveno is the best lotion. I use it all the time
Love Aveeno products
I can tell a big difference in my skin when I eat well and when I eat junk, so I agree that it’s not only “skin deep”
I love Aveeno products,especially the anti-itch
cream. it is the only thing that helped me when
i had poison ivy.
Avocados are SO good for your skin!
I love Aveeno products…especially this time of the year when my skin is so dried out from winter (dry heat).
I love Aveeno products…especially this time of the year when my skin is so dried out from winter (dry heat/sometimes drinking water just isn’t enough).
I am actually starting to eat healthier and I have noticed a dramatic change in my skin. It really does matter! Great advice for anyone who is curious or just thinks its a myth!
Healthy food and exercise do make a healthy body.
I try to drink more water. And eventually I’ll succeed.
Water is best to help get a healthy body
my daughter is not allowed to use lots of lotions but this one works great on her.
This is a great challenge! I need to take advantage of this because my skin has been neglected for a while. I also need to be in taking more water and healthy foods Anyways. Thank you for this post I will be taking this challenge 🙂
I have just started drinking a lot more water. And have noticed the change in my skin, I used to have really dry skin and now i dnt. But I still love using aveeno products:)
Aveeno is a great product I like it cause it dont bother my skin like most products.
I love Aveeno
Aveeno has great products.I use it because it does not bother my sensitive skin.
I do need to drink more water. Change in diet is important/.
I love Aveeno lotion I use on both me and my babies. Also very big on veggies but I must admit I should be drinking more water.
I love their lotion, and yes I am drinking lots of water and getting my exercise.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Aveeno lotions
Aveeno products have been used in our home for the past 5 years they our a part of our everyday life they work wonders and the quality is unbeatable
Love Aveeno lotions
I agree, I know when I eat right and get enough water I am at my best and I feel I am at my best…………..I have arthritis and fibromyalgia and its important that I avoid the bad foods which is mostly processed and gluten laden foods. Thanks for the great article.
I have the hardest time with drinking enough water AS well!! I found that going to Sonic in the morning and getting a Route 44 ice water is the best way to counter this!! Don’t know why. I think because I loved crushed ice!! I love Aveeno and used it on all of my kids!
Aveeno Products are awesome.
I have alway taken vitamins with protection for skin, your skin is the first thing that shows aging and if we don’t take care of it, it will show up sooner than later. I use Aveeno and eat healthy foods and it does help
My doctor recommended Aveno and I won’t use anything else!!!!
I am trying to do my best to drink more water for my skin and my body
I love products that are good for you.
I drink water everyday & love Aveeno products too!!!
I use Aveeno a good bit these days. I love their shampoo’s and conditioners and also have some of their body lotions.
olive oil is good for nourishing your hair & skin
I use aveeno on my daughters skin i prefer st ives over aveeno products.
i have been trying so hard to drink more water and eat more fruit. ive really got to lose a few pounds to feel more healthy.
I have read that you shouldn’t wash your hair everyday, so I would be interested in trying the shampoo
Water is so hard to drink by itself. I need to really work on it though. Thank you for the advice!
We have started drinking massive amounts of water to improve our health. We invested in a water cooler.
Having a red headed child, Aveeno is the only thing she can use. It has great products & does work!
I would love to try that shampoo. My hair gets so dried out and breaks if I wash it too often.
I don’t find it hard to drink plenty of water daily except for during the winter. The cold temperatures make me want hot beverages like coffee.
I wish I had better weather so I could start walking. I have fibromyalgia and I am so sore with the winter weather. I also love all the fresh fruits in the summer, I can’t wait.
I drink lots of water and I’m eating better.Aveeno has some cool products.
I am so awful about my water intake.
i have been working on drinking more water and less pepsi, the last 2 days i have had zero pepsi! 🙂
