10 Greatly Beneficial Foods for the Skin
Today I am not going to talk about creams and cosmetics. Today I am going to talk about foods whose properties are beneficial for the skin. No matter how many fantastic and miraculous creams we apply, it will not serve us well if we do not have a healthy lifestyle. After all, we are what we eat.
The crisis of the 30s makes me worry a lot more about keeping my youth. I see signs that little by little, and without warning, appear. One day I am 23, and another day, suddenly, I get up in the morning and I am thir ... thirrr ... thirty? I have a hard time saying it! I also have half of my head full of gr ... gr ... grey hairs?!
The day will come when suddenly I wake up, and I will be 60. By then, I would have spent years of healthy life. I will be a 60 years old woman, but fabulous. So in this right moment, I'm on time, and I'm going to take care of myself!
