Six best fruits for great skin and hair

 
Six best fruits for great skin and hair
 
As I have mentioned previsouly,
beauty comes from within the healthy body,
which means we need to consume healthy food for our body.
Among those,  fruits are nature's most valuable beauty enhancers. Also, they are inexpensive too. So, to get that awesome glow on your skin or add some lustre to your hair,
here are the 6 best fruits:
 
Apples:
They have been used as a beauty aid for decades. A cup of apple juice added to your bath will cleanse and smoothen your skin. Apple juice applied to your scalp helps prevent dandruff. A final rinse of your hair with apple juice after shampooing brings about an added shine. Apples are also a good conditioner and toner, and help fight acne.Pineapple:
 
A great skin emollient, pineapples help rejuvenate and cleanse the skin. Rubbing a slice of pineapple on spots like knees, elbows and heels helps soften the skin. It can also act as a loofah or sponge while taking a shower.
Lemons:
 
Lemons are known for their 'skin and hair' cleansing properties. Dandruff can be prevented by rubbing lemon on the scalp. Adding two teaspoons of lemon juice in your bath not only deodourises the body but also keeps it fresh. Lemon rinds, when rubbed on scars, acne or dark spots, helps heal them. Rub lemon slices on rough areas of heels and elbows to soften them.
Papaya:
 
Rich in vitamin A and enzymes, papayas act as a great exfoliator. Mashed papaya, when applied to the face, helps get rid of dead skin and gives your face that glow.
Peaches:

This fruit is best for dry skin. A combination of peach paste and yogurt, when applied to the skin and rinsed off with lukewarm water not only moisturises the skin but also leaves it supple and soft. Gorging on these yummy fruits is not enough, applying them on the skin and hair helps a lot as well. So, the next time you lunge at that favourite fruit of yours, look beyond its culinary value, for you'd be surprised at its cosmetic benefits.

WATER- THE BEST WAY TO KEEP MY SKIN & BODY HAPPY!

 
WATER- THE BEST WAY TO KEEP MY SKIN & BODY HAPPY!
 
 
Since I am a skin care freak,
I'm also obsessed with not just skin care products,
but very much interested in taking care of my skin naturally.
 
I think a real, good, and healty skin comes from a healty body,
which is so obvious.
 
These ways are so common and well known,
yet easy to miss out.
 
 So, this posting is actually to remind myself!!!
 
1. Water
 
Well yeah...
who doesn't know that drinking water is good and important.
However, there are so many types of "drinks" that we have these day,
I actually find myself not drinking enough water
as I suppose to.
 
 
 
I don't drink soda or juice, but I do LOVE coffee!
I just can't live without it.
That's why I constantly have to and consciously remind myself to drink more water.
 
As it is widely know,
water is not just good for skin but it is so crucial for our health.
 
 
 
 
 
 I hope that this was a beneficial reminder for everyone,
including myself.
 
 
 
 Oh, I just remembered a very famous pharse and let me edit it by using water:
 
 
 
WATER, IT DOES A BODY GOOD!!!
 
=)

Ariel's Skin Care Product Obssession!!!
PART III
 
 
 
From many of my favorite skin care products,
there is one thing I can't live without for every single minute of the day.
 
It is FACIAL MIST!!!
 
Eventhough I apply every kind of mositurizer in the morning,
I can't help my skin getting dry during the day.
 
That's why facial mist is so important for my daily essential product!
 
For years and years,
I've been using all kinds of facial mist:
Evian, Avene, Vichy, and etc.
 
They are all great facial products but they easily get dried off too quickly.
 
However, one of my friend recently recommended a facial mist from
Innisfree, which is a famous Korean cosmetic brand.
 
 
 

Innisfree Olive Real Oil Mist

 

 
PRODUCT INFO:
 
Formulated with organic olive oil, this hydrating mist which offers a 3-in-1 effect instantly provides an oil-moisture protective barrier, prevents dead skin cells from flaking off and helps makeup to adhere to your skin.

80ml
 
 
As you can see from the photos, I already used the whole bottle and ready to move on with a new one.
(By the way, it's time for me to get my nails done.. they are soooo nasty and messy.. arrrgghh!!!)
 
Since, I'm already obessed with facial oil,
a facial mist combined with oil is a perfect one for me.
 
Not just it provides moisture during the day, it also helps to stay on my skin for longer.
It's perfectly fine to spray on bare face or on top of your make-up. 
 
I just sprayed the last drop of my mist,
so I'm ready to run to Innisfree!!!

It says body butter so just apply on your body after shower, but it's also perfect for face moisturizer and a great alternative for an eye cream. 
They cost about ten bucks for each and that means you can save  a lot of pennies!!!
