An apple a day may keep the doctor away, but round the clock chocolate is our new health plan.

Genuine Health's Healthy Skin Chocolate Soft Chews (carton of 45 pieces, $24.99) contain cocoa seed extract, hydrolyzed collagen (from fish oil) and antioxidants like lycopene and vitamins C, E and B2 that help boost the skin's elasticity and hydrate from the inside out. The not-too-sweet goodies protect the skin from free radicals and a three-a-day regimen promises a healthier looking mug in just 21 days.

In this case, we’d be just fine with the standard four-to-six-week results.
