My great salmon skin diet

So I just returned from Alaska. My whole family took a cruise for my
dad's 75th birthday (Happy Birthday, Dad!). One of the benefits of this
trip (besides the awesome Humpback whales and icebergs we saw from the
ship's terrace) was the easy access to
salmon...there it was on the
buffet for breakfast, lunch, dinner. Thinking like the
beauty writer I
am, I decided this was the perfect opportunity to try
Dr. Nicholas Perricone's
salmon diet, or at least my own version of it. Dr. Perricone says on
his website that "the special essential fatty acids and antioxidants in
salmon give skin a remarkable suppleness, radiance and youthful glow."
He also says that the diet decreases facial puffiness and increases
facial contours. Now I admit to being a skeptic--I worried that salmon
three times a day would make me sick. But I went with it anyway...for
seven days! And yes, my skin now
glows. I've been back from the trip
for a few days now and I got major "Your skin looks incredible!"
comments at dinner with friends last night. My skin looks healthy and
rosy and I feel
fabulous. Have you ever tried a wacky skin
diet? Got any
great summer skin secrets? Share yours and I'll share
some more of mine (that don't involve gorging yourself with pink fish!)
