Vaseline has created a documentary about people of color and their perceptions of their skin. It’s inspiring. It’s beautiful. It’s definitely worth seeing.

Israel is not only a tourist destination, but a skin care haven. Did you know that the Dead Sea is ten times saltier than the ocean? That it is the lowest spot on the Earth? That the sun shines 330 days there?

The mineral rich water is supported by mineral rich-mud and many local sulfur springs. All the elements available both separately and combined have proven beneficial for psoriasis, eczema, and vitiligo. People suffering from ailments such as arthritis and respiratory problems also benefit from a trip to the Dead Sea—some insurance providers even pick up the bill.

If this sounds like a place you’d like—or your skin needs—to be, then act quick. The shore lines of the Dead Sea are receding by three feet every year because water is being diverted from the Jordan River elsewhere.

It’s not just food that can keep your skin fit, its healthy herbs too. Although some herbs are beneficial to a specific skin condition, others are helpful for general skin care. Add these delicious and useful items to your skin fitness grocery list.
