Secret Skin Care Ingredient
The lastest wonder
ingredient
making the rounds in
the skin-care community,
coffee cherry,
is being touted as the ultimate
antioxidant. The
extract from the berry has
been clinically proven to
have "one and a half times more antioxidants than green tea,"
says Ranella Hirsch, M.D., a dermatologist in Boston. This
means it can more effectively ward off free radicals
responsible for accelerating DNA damage that leads to skin's
premature aging. In addition, it improves roughness and
dryness. Find the extract in the RevaléSkin line (facial
cleanser, day cream with SPF 15, and night cream, $40 to
$110; available from your dermatologist).
