16.  FENNEL FOR A DETOXIFYING EFFECT

Drinking fennel tea can help detoxify the body and improve the appearance of the skin. Fennel is known for its purifying properties and may contribute to better digestion and clearer skin.

These grandma's beauty tips take advantage of the ingredients' natural properties and offer gentle, often budget-friendly alternatives to commercial beauty products.

As always, it is important to consider your own skin's sensitivity and do a skin test before trying new treatments.

These grandmother's beauty secrets favor natural ingredients and simple solutions for taking care of yourself.

However, it is important to test natural products on a small area of the skin before extensive use, as some people may be sensitive or allergic to certain ingredients.
