Essensis: Healthy Skin From the Inside Out

Want healthier skin? A new yogurt about to hit the market claims to improve overall skin health.

As the move toward functional food and drink spreads even iconic brands seem to feel the need to get on board. New reports are saying that food giant Danone (Dannon is owned by them) will be launching a new line of yogurt called Essensis that it claims will "nourish the skin from the inside."

How so? Well by using certain ingredients (including borage oil, vitamin E and antioxidants from green tea) that "feed the cells" of the surface layer of the skin, Danone claims the yogurt will improve the health of the skin of people who eat it for at least a month. Essensis will roll out in France and Spain next month, followed by Belgium and Italy in March. No word on when it will hit US soil.
