Quotes: “The way our skin looks is, in fact, 70% related to what we eat. And only 30% is related to our skincare routines.” - Larisa Petrini “We don’t need 50 products for our face, body, and hair. We only need a few high-quality products that are good for us.” - Larisa Petrini “50% of the population suffer from a reaction to one or more of the foods they eat in general and they have no idea it’s happening.” -Larisa Petrini “We try to tackle the symptom without actually solving the root cause. And from my perspective, when you apply a cream without having a look at your plate, this is what you do. You just tackle a symptom, hoping that things will actually change.” - Larisa Petrini --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theconfidentwoman/message
