Food for Thought - BODY BISTRO Tomato + Amla Cleansing Crème and Tomato + Sage Facial Hydrating Elixir

While your mom might have told you to eat all your fruits and vegetables, dietary intake may not be sufficient to maximize the skin benefits of Lycopene, a powerful antioxidant found in tomatoes. Although only a relatively small amount finds its way into the skin when ingested, Lycopene is well absorbed if applied topically because it is fat-soluble and has relatively small molecules, which allows for greater penetration to the skin.

Many of the reported health benefits of Lycopene are attributed to its ability to protect cells against free radicals-oxygen molecules that break down collagen causing the skin to sag and wrinkle. Lycopene, a potent free radical scavenger, speeds up the skin's metabolism which promotes cell regeneration and keeps the complexion healthy and younger looking. With natural sunscreen properties, Lycopene also has the ability to reduce the harmful effects of indirect sunlight or sunlight that has passed through glass.

Before you pull out the blender and whip up your own tomato puree to slather all over your face, try generous helpings of BODY BISTRO Tomato + Amla Cleansing Crème and Tomato + Sage Facial Hydrating Elixir which both contain Lycopene and are great for dry, flaking and winter-time skin.

BODY BISTRO Tomato + Amla Cleansing Crème draws on ancient Ayurvedic traditions to replenish moisture to the skin. This unique recipe contains Lycopene to help fight free-radical damage caused by sun exposure, oxygen, and pollutants and keeps the skin looking young.

BODY BISTRO Tomato + Sage Facial Hydrating Elixir utilizes fresh fruit AHAs and luscious plant extracts to hydrate, remove dead skin cells and renew parched skin. Lycopene helps fight free radicals while Amla fruit acts as natural exfoliator leaving skin refreshed and glowing.

BODY BISTRO satisfies the appetites of Hollywood's top A listers including Halle Berry, Christina Applegate, Paris Hilton, Christina Ricci and Amanda Bynes.
