Massage has so many benefits on so many levels- it can markedly improve all the systems of your body. For the skin, massage has special skin boosting benefits.
Regular massage can help reduce tension in the skin and the underlying tissues. The pressure and strokes increase your circulation, which boosts the skin’s repair and nutrition.
I get massages at least once a month, and it’s always amazing to notice- 90 minutes on the massage table makes me look like I’ve slept for a week.
If you’ve never tried massage or are always too busy to go, change that right now: make an appointment for a massage. If you like it, make it a regular part of your skin care regimen. Not only will you feel better, you’ll look better, too.

Folate is one of the B vitamins. It is particularly important for cells which rapidly divide and regenerate- including skin cells. Most of us don’t get enough folate. Mild folate deficits are not usually noticed.
Green leafy vegetables and beans are good sources of folate. If you like liver, that’s the only animal product which contains folate.
The best way to obtain folate for your skin is to eat your vegetables. (See, Mom was right!)
Depression is one side effect of folate deficiency. The absorption of folate can be disrupted by certain over the counter and prescription medications.
Folate is also important if you’re pregnant.
If you haven’t been eating your vegetables, and your skin could use a boost, try a plate of spinach or kale to get your all the folate your skin (and body) needs.
