FRUITS AND VEGETABLES

THE PROTEINS
A body without proteins is a factory without workers. Our body needs a constant amount of proteins to function, which also have a very important effect on the tissues and therefore on our physical appearance.

Eggs: like red meat, they are rich in proteins and vitamins. They therefore give the skin firmness.

THE OMEGA 3
Very important to counteract free radicals, they are fundamental components of biological membranes and epithelial tissue. Making it a "full" means choosing the right foods: then go ahead dried fruit (walnuts and almonds in the first place) plus rich in unsaturated fats and therefore "good" and a blue fish is salmome; but also to the soy and ai seeds. A shield against free radicals.

ELIMINATE THE SCORIES
Having a beautiful skin means first of all having a good intestinal activity. It is important in this regard to consume Whole grains, which are rich in fiber (as well as vitamins) and yogurt, preferably lean. Therefore they play an important role in eliminating waste, thus giving the skin a healthy and luminous appearance.

Olive oil as a make-up remover
In the series "do not throw anything away", olive oil is fine, very well indeed, as a makeup remover. Also for make-up waterproof!
