Natural Beauty Tips:
1. When we sleep during the night, our skin goes into a rest and recovery mode. Hormones are also released, blood circulation is improved, and pores are opened up. As a consequence, a cream is easier to absorb and penetrate into the skin. Thus at night, skin-whitening ingredients work more efficiently,
2. Due to potential sun damage, creams containing lemon or lime juice should not be used during the day.
3. It’s much easier to have clear, radiant, and healthy skin than to have a beautiful complexion.
All of these will reward you with glowing, healthy skin.
