Happy New Year everyone! I am kicking 2017 off with more of a health type of post. Skincare starts from the inside out and it took me a long time to realise that. In 2016 I was really into making my own fruit juices and smoothies combining ingredients that help to improve the state of your skin. Today I will be sharing a few of the blends I love as well as the benefits of each ingredient. I won't be including quantities as you can make as much or as little as you like however for these juices to work to full effect drink them immediately rather than letting them sit.
