Take Away
Everything in nature is in balance. So if we take this leaf out of nature’s regimen, everything we try must be in moderation.
For any new product, the doctors always recommend doing a patch test. Because what worked for one person doesn’t have to work similarly for everyone.
Most importantly, buy products from credible brands and list all ingredients. Then, after some careful consideration and reading, buy the product.
Lastly, smile! You are beautiful
