all living works of art. And our canvas is our skin. And this is where beauty begins. Our skin as you know, is the largest organ in our bodies. It is also a reflection of our health. Anything that you ingest into the body or apply topically to your skin will be reflected in the glow of your complexion. Beauty truly does come from the inside. So it is vital to be more discerning with what you put into your body. But what you apply to your skin is just as important. And it just so happens that the best ingredients for beautiful skin can come from your kitchen. Everything you apply to your skin absorbs into your bloodstream. Feed your skin like you'd feed your stomach. And with that in mind, I have two words for you...Coconut oil. Coconut oil acts as an amazing moisturizer for your body. And consuming coconut oil is a great way to enhance the quality of your skin from the inside out. Apply it in the shower, immediately after cleansing your skin. The steam from the hot water will open your pores enough to allow the oil to absorb. Rinse the excess off and bask in the glory of your soft, touchable skin. Raw shea butter. The flawless, velvety skin of African women is reason enough to try this extraction from the African shea tree. The thick texture of shea butter is perfect for absorbing deep into your pores, helping you maintain an ageless complexion. Shea butter will add a touch of luxury to your beauty routine with its rich texture. Milk bath. Rose petals. Candlelight. There are actually many beauty benefits to bathing in whole milk. The fatty acids in milk help to hydrate your skin and even your complexion. Add some rosewater to give your skin an everlasting, floral scent, or honey to add some extra moisture. Glamour is not only for the wealthy. Find ways to add glamour to your everyday life. Why? Because feeling good about yourself is a natural born right, and feeling beautiful is priceless. Let your skin breathe. breathe."
