Foods that Hurt and Help Your Skin

I was browsing around on Pinterest this morning and I came across this fantastic pin. I re-pinned it right away (for those of you who aren't on Pinterest, you probably think that I'm talking jibberish and that I'm crazy.)

It's a chart illustrating the foods that are both beneficial and harmful to skin, and I hadn't realized how much of an impact that foods have on skin. So is it really true...you are what you eat? You decide!

Food that helps fight bacteria which can reduce acne includes fatty acids (salmon, cod, flax seed, and almonds), whole grains (brown rice, wild rice, barley, whole-grain bread), vitamin B6 (cauliflower, walnuts, avocado, sunflower seeds) and any fruit! There can be some amazing snacks and meals from these foods, and putting them into the diet can be super easy.

Things to avoid include caffeine, sugary foods, processed foods, and greasy foods. Not only can these have adverse effects on the skin, but on the body, too!

DIY Dry Shampoo

Nothing makes my day worse than having a bad hair day. I feel like a complete slob walking around with bad hair. It sadly reflects on my attitude and I tend to just feel that nothing can go right!
Some days when I wake up late and I need a quick fix, I turn to dry shampoo. I use it a lot because I sleep in a lot! I found a fantastic recipe on Pinterest that has a quick and easy recipe for making my own dry shampoo. For those of you that don't know, dry shampoo is a shampoo that gets sprayed on your dry hair and doesn't need to be rinsed out. I usually spray it on my roots and then brush it through my hair to evenly distribute it. Grease usually hangs out in the roots of your hair and makes it impossible to style!
This make it yourself dry shampoo is easy to make and I love it because I know exactly what's in it! Combine 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, 4 tablespoons of water, and 1 tablespoon of rubbing alcohol into a spray bottle and shake it to mix the contents. Enjoy! Let me know how this works for you if you try it.
