Which Is Better Wednesday: Walmart’s Equate Beauty Brand vs. Brand Name Beauty Products
Happy Wednesday everyone! I have been comparing some brand name beauty products that I purchase regularly and love with Walmart’s Equate Beauty brand. Some of Walmart’s beauty brands were okay and some I have switched to because they are just as good the brand name beauty product, so let’s get into the comparisons starting with skin care: CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser $12.08 for 12 oz. – I love this cleanser and I have been using this for years. This is great for my dry, sensitive skin and leaves my skin soft after cleansing (Not the best makeup remover, so if I am wearing makeup, this is my second cleanse). Equate…

Yes, please, and what a money saver that would be to have a beauty product like that! Well, coconut oil (also referred to as lauric acid), is that money saving “all in one” beauty product!

Beauty Foods That Feed Your Hair, Skin & Nails From The Inside Out
We all take care of our hair, our skin, and our nails on the outside, but you also need to take care of your hair, skin, and nails on the inside too by eating nourishing, healthy foods (along with drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated) on the daily! So, I compiled a list of some edible beauty “treatments” that can help improve the look of your hair, skin, and nails from the inside out: AVOCADO We have all heard that healthy fats (like the kind in avocado) are good for our health.
