The food you put in your body is just as vital as the cleansers, toners and moisturizers that line your bathroom shelf. In today’s video we share a Very Berry Smoothie that is great for your skin.
Proper hydration of skin is important for maintaining resilience and preventing wrinkles. This very berry smoothie not only taste great but is packed with all these nutrients:
