Nice tips Aish! I will definitely try. 😊
Beauty products are booming right now. There are millions of products in the market. However Organic and Natural they claim to be, they always have way too many ingredients in them; half of which, we do not even know to pronounce correctly. There is no way to be sure that the products are a hundred percent trustworthy! You never know what goes into them, during the manufacturing. This very thought makes me paranoid!
