Treat the skin from the inside out
It wouldn't be a new year without a resolution to increase exercise and decrease sugary treats to improve our wellbeing and lose some pounds. Have you ever taken the time to consider what impact these lifestyle changes have on your skin as well as your waistline?
Glowing skin starts from the inside and is complimented with beautiful skincare on the outside. Skin cells renew every 28days, and a steady supply of nutrients is essential to support this.
The phrase 'you are what you eat' couldn't be more accurate; your diet and lifestyle can significantly affect your skins health and the speed it ages.
Take a look at the five best ways to treat the skin from the inside out.
