Sparkling Eyes ---------------------------
Sparkling,
beautiful eyes are the best assets a woman can have. Do
take time to cater to the special care that eyes need
regularly.
Eat enough of
Vitamin A and C. Take special care in the choice of eye
make-up. Don't use make-up that can irritate and harm
the eyes. Avoid spending too much time in smoky rooms
and don't neglect a check-up on a regular
basis.
