Natural Beauty Inside Out
Back in April 2009, I blogged about using rice water to wash your face and that entry remained popular even today. The reason is because a lot of girls want fairer skin and the rice water can help them achieve the desired effects without burning a hole in their pockets. Actually, instead of rice water, a better ingredient would be the rice powder or rice flour.
My hands aren’t the best looking but I do try my best to care for them as best as I can. I might sometimes slather expensive serums and potions on them when I have excess but most of the time, I just rely on simple treats. In addition, like my face, I avoid using products containing harsh ingredients on my hands. These include SLS and alcohol.
At the end of July, I received an email from a rather reputable ‘Asian-born’ PR agency with a harmless subject line “Looking for Ghostwriter for XX Product” but when I read the content, it angered me greatly. Those who follow me on Tweeter would have sensed my indignation back then. Let me show you the extract of the content and you will immediately understand why I was fuming.
We’re trying to look for a ghostwriter to help us do some blogging of a XX product.
The dust has sort of settled and I’m able to return to blogging although it maybe less frequent for a beginning. Thanks everyone who left or sent me messages of concern! I’m fine; just a little tired. So for a start, let me share a short post regarding how scientists have found that there are compounds in grapes that could protect the skin against the sun and could be used in sunscreen and sun protection products.
I have been using some products from Snowberry Beauty, a new range of anti-aging skin care products from New Zealand that works on the premise of delivering skin care benefits via clinically proven bio active ingredients such as antioxidants, enzymes and peptide complexes, yet avoiding petrochemicals, sulphates, artificial colouring, parabens, silicones and glycols. This is not a 100% natural skin care range but rather, the products are formulated with a combination of natural extracts plus scientifically-derived anti-aging and skin renewal compounds.
