Fruits for skin care

We spent a lot of money for doing facials and other special treatments. We do special fruit facials like papaya facial, orange facial etc to get a glow skin. Beauty parlours charge a good sum of money for doing such expensive facials. But do you know, beauty is not all about external skin glow. It’s all about glowing the skin from inside, which is more durable and stays so long.

If we follow a good lifestyle, keep yourself active and mobile, and eat a healthy and balanced diet, which includes a lot of water, fresh vegetables and fruits, we get a glowing skin naturally. It improves our health also, thus overall improving our positivity and happiness.
