As we enter the prime of life, as the grains of sand in the hourglass fall faster and faster, we women see life moving forward sometimes too quickly. The years go by and sometimes, trapped in the daily routine, we forget that at the same time, we have a life to live. We wake up one morning and look at ourselves in the mirror and see that the years have not spared us, that the first fine lines are appearing and that the roots of our hair are turning greyish white. The time has come to wake up and take care of oneself, one's body and one's emotions in order to sail serenely on the marvelous path that is life.

In order to avoid premature aging of our cells and therefore of our skin and our body, let's focus on inner health. It is by taking care of ourselves from the inside that we will be able to regain our external beauty: hydration, healthy, living and natural food, sports activities, personal development, culture, etc. Nevertheless, a little help through natural cosmetics is possible to help the skin feel better.
