Beauty Diaries by Kimi

It has been a while since I’ve extended the usage of organic and herbal products more in my daily routine. Even if the products aren’t herbal or organic, I do ensure to see the ingredients and get the stuffs that don’t contain nasty preservatives, parabens or “cones” in them.

And now coming to the treasure trove where I found these, I am really glad to introduce...

Beautiful Eyes Hello lovelies, Today, I thought of sharing my eye care regime with you here. With the way these tech-gadgets have encroached around 80-90% of our wake up time, I feel that it becomes even more important for us to pay extra attention in taking care of our eyes.

The book is written in a very simple and entertaining way, along with loads of scientific terms in it explained very clearly. It discusses the nature of our skin, how it works, what it eats(!!), how it eats, how different chemicals and preservatives can effect our skin and various facts and certain harsh truths related to cosmetic industry and beauty product companies.
