FOOD? OR REALLY GOOD FOOD

Hello gorgeous,

          Sometimes, without being cautious about it, the food we consume can either hurt our skin or help our skin. but the science behind skin care is really simple. taking care of your skin comes down to our lifestyle  rather than how much we spend on skincare products. When it comes down to a beautiful-skin diet the food we eat can work on traits like skin-tone, texture, evenness etc.

NUTS.
