Aside from drinking plenty water, (which is imperative to keeping your skin with a youthful glow) there are a few key items that we use in my family which has not only proven to be successful, but also been cost-effective seeing as how they can be found at any local drugstore. Let me explain to y’all… We have tried some of everything- from  high-end, expensive products, to every homemade remedy that we know. But please trust and believe WE ARE FRUGAL… So Brown Girls WE GOT YA!! These products at most costs about $20 and it’s only because of the size of the bottle… Mini me and I may get in trouble for letting the cat out the bag but oh well.
