Happy New Year to all my wonderful customers, friends and skincare lovers; I hope you all had a nice evening ringing in the New Year! 

We at the skincare butik went on a “double-date” with our hubbies and had lots of fun dancing in the New Year; a great beginning!

Today, I started the first day of the year with and old family tradition by eating an apple. It is believed to bring health throughout the coming year. My favorite fruit naturally come with so many health benefits and it is also good for anyone who wants healthy skin and hair! I make sure to eat an apple on most days; it makes a perfect morning of afternoon snack together with a handful of almonds or walnuts.

Apple facts

• Eating raw apples help your body by introducing antioxidants, which prevent cell and tissue damage, preventing wrinkles and aging, and promoting health hair growth because of a compound known as procyanidin B-2.
• According to nutritionists, the Granny Smith and the Red Delicious, are best for the skin. While all apples are good for you, these two varieties contain abundant amounts of collagen and elastin, both great for youthful skin. In addition, Braeburn apples contain ingredients that can protect you from harmful UV rays, one of the most damaging threats to healthy skin.
