Giving yourself facials and other skin glowing mask, and yet your skin just doesn’t have that glow. What gives? I think it’s time to change your makeup routine and do give extra care on what food you put in your body because it is just as vital as the toners and moisturizers that you apply. I know, getting clear, glowing and youthful skin is a battle for everyone.
You got sick of hearing what you can’t drink if you want perfect skin like coffee, soda, alcohol etc. But you can sip a drink to get a clear and youthful skin which is delicious and healthy smoothies and they are good for your skin.
