My grandmother is an amazing woman. She is 105 and looks like she is 80. She walks a mile every day no matter what the weather and uses a cane. She believes that the reason she is so young still is because she makes herself potato peelings soup every three days and has a cup or two every evening. It's a ritual for her and my father always says that she would give up the ghost if she couldn't make her soup. I think the ritual is very, very important. At night, she washes her face with Ivory soap and then rubs an apple slice all over it. No moisturizer. Her face glows from within. It never dawned on me until recently that apples contain malic acid, which is a mild exfoliant.
