Drink more water and give your skin a daily makeover

July 13, 2020 By in Beauty Tags: , , , , , , Leave a comment

I am not a dermatologist, but drinking water regularly is one of the best things you could do for your physical health and skin. This should come as no surprise since our skin contains 64 percent water. Replenishing the water in our skin by drinking the recommended 8 glasses of water a day is the sensible thing to do. I make sure I drink as much water as possible throughout the day. It is a lot easier for me to drink more water these days since I have cut out fizzy drinks from my diet. I am also on a natural healthy sort of diet and that eliminates lots of drinks and food, which leaves room for more water.

Drink more water and give your skin a daily makeover

So how does water really help the skin? Here are a few skin benefits of drinking water to get that daily makeover –

Water removes toxins

Drinking the right amount of water will help get rid of toxins in your body, which will help you glow from the inside out. If you are dealing with facial spots, acne, and other skin issues, you should try drinking more water if you are not doing so already. That may just do the trick!

Water keeps the skin hydrated

Apart from removing skin toxins, water also keeps the skin hydrated. Water is pretty much a natural moisturiser. I see many people spending a lot of money on skincare products but neglecting their diet. Drinking the right amount of water every day is the fastest way to keep your skin hydrated.

Here are some celebrities who swear by drinking water –

Beyonce

“I try to take care of myself, drinking at least a gallon of water with lemon a day,”

Gabrielle Union

“I try to drink a gallon of water a day, and I try to get in 32 ounces with breakfast,”

Rosie Huntington Whiteley

“As soon as I wake up, I try and drink a liter of water,”

My lips usually let me know when I need to drink more water. They get really dry, and that is my reminder to increase my water intake. Since I started drinking more water religiously, I have noticed a huge difference in my skin. It is a lot clearer and there is a glow for sure. Drinking enough water is one of the best things you could ever do for your skin. So make sure you drink more water and give your skin a daily makeover!

The stunning Juliet Ibrahim is the Style Icon for July on Fashion and Style Police. This beauty is a Ghanian actress, film producer, and singer. She has been in the entertainment industry for years now and I have been a huge fan of her fashion sense. Juliet Ibrahim has an amazing personal style. I admire almost every outfit I see her in. She knows how best to dress her hourglass body shape and she looks fantastic every time. Her outfits always leave me very inspired. If you are in search of some fashion inspiration, you are in luck, Juliet Ibrahim is what you need.

Juliet Ibrahim is definitely a style icon. She deserves the spot. Her hourglass body shape is beautiful but it is one of the hardest body shapes to really style because of the curves and all. However, Ibrahim does a good job with hers. Her pieces and accessories always complement every part of her and she has an amazing carriage, which makes her stand out even more. I will describe her personal style as bold and feminine. This style icon loves bright colours and eye-popping designs, and she wears these outfits like a true Queen.

This woman is also a beauty muse and it should come as no surprise, that she has been featured on Fashion and Style Police years ago. You can catch up on that post here. Her skin and beautiful features are on a different level.

The Smoothie Lunch Diet

July 9, 2020 By in Lifestyle Tags: , , , , , , , 4 Comments

I got a Smoothie Blender some years ago and I used it a couple of times back then. It has been abandoned in my kitchen cabinet until some days ago. I have started using the blender every day now and it has been amazing. I have now incorporated what I call the smoothie lunch diet and it simply means I swap my lunch for a smoothie. The smoothie lunch diet has been going on for about a week now and I feel so good.

Many people have asked why I decided to start this diet, so I am just going to quickly explain why. I am not one to eat fruits and vegetables. My daily fruit and veggies intake are nowhere near the recommended daily amount. This has always been a worry for me and I have tried many times to eat more fruits and vegetables but my intention never works. All that has changed now with this new diet of mine. I now take a good amount of fruit and vegetables on a daily basis and my body has been thanking me.

My quest is for a healthy and balanced diet. Swapping my lunch for smoothies as nothing to do with losing weight. I am very happy and comfortable with my BMI. There is no need for me to lose any weight. This is just to get a good amount of fruits and live vegetables into my body.

The Smoothie Lunch Diet

I mix all sorts of fruits and veggies together. My favourite combo includes bananas, carrots, spinach, strawberries, chia seeds, fruit juice and almond milk. Sometimes I swap some of the vegetables for cucumbers. It usually tastes great. At first, I thought I would be starving and miss my lunch meals but I have discovered I actually feel even more energetic than I would if I had proper meals. I can see myself carrying on with this diet for a long time to come. It works great for me because I am home lunchtime anyway so it is easy to do.

Are you a fan of smoothies?
