Not only do kiwis look and taste good, but they also do wonders for your skin. Kiwi contains Vitamin E, which is a very powerful skin antioxidant that will keep your skin looking youthful. Kiwis are also known to protect your skin from the effects of the sun, help keep it rejuvenated, and fight acne!

Drinking water has many benefits for your body, and without it you could suffer from dehydration, constipation, and other problems. Your body is roughly 60% water, so water is not only crucial for the functioning of your body, but it also does wonders for your skin. It can help improve your skin's elasticity, keep it hydrated, and give you an extra glow!
