FOCUS ON... Skin foods Most people looking out for a Vbeneficial beauty routine go in for commercially made and marketed products that can only determine their usefulness through trial and error (and cost you a bundle too), the best way to invest in long-lasting beauty and health is through intake of top skin food. These include products from nature’s bounty that are plentiful in quantity and freely available for the picking should one venture to go back to basics and become beautiful-naturally! Top Skin Foods: Nothing nutty about nuts for natural beauty! Among the best and most nourishing gifts of nature are nuts like almonds and walnuts that are very effective in maintaining good skin. Almonds are natural moisturizers since they contain high dosage of vitamin E and oil extracted from almonds is used for treating dark circles and excessively dry skin. An excellent and extremely nourish- ing face wash using powdered almonds can be mixed with fresh cream or cold milk and applied to the face and neck; it can be left on for five minutes and rinsed off with cold water to reveal skin that is fresh and smooth. Getting cozy with cucumbers! Cu- cumbers are easily available in most kitchens and are great for making skin masks, facial packs or even for just using as tired-eye soothers after a day out in the sun or excessive eye-activity. Cucumber water can be used as a face wash to leave your skin feeling smoother. They are great helpers in aiding the fading the freckles, bleaching skin naturally, softening hard skin and toning it; cucumbers also have a cooling effect on the skin and help nour- ish it from harsh sunburn effects. Cleansing carrot care for skin: can help soothe the most tired skin and bring back the youthful glow to your facial muscles. Carrots are natural cleansers in the raw, grated form and when applied to washed skin, leave it soft and supple. Car- rots are also an excellent antiseptic and used widely in creams for dry skins. Tomato treat for oily skin: Tomatoes are rich in potassium and vitamin C and help to reduce open pores-the prime culprit of clogged sebaceous glands that leads to acne and blackheads. Cutting a tomato in half and rubbing it onto the skin and leaving it for better absorption of juices for about fifteen minutes helps it saturate into the pores. This can be washed off with water to reveal tighter, lighter and much drier skin than the oily feel of before-pack use. Go bananas! Bananas are excellent skin moisturizers and extremely nourishing facemask since they tighten and soften the skin, cleanse the pores and invigorate the skin. Just the juice from one mashed banana with a dash of lemon juice cooled in the refrigerator for about ten minutes and applied all over the face liberally can do the trick in half an hour: simply rinse it off to reveal the new, younger and fresher looking you!

SUPER SCOTT: Kerry Scott, Chief People Officer, LLA, shows she #ChooseToChallenge LIBERTY Latin America Ltd continues com- Omitment in celebrating with the global com- munity on International Women’s Day (IWD). Under the theme #ChooseToChallenge, the company reiterates its commitment across Latin America and the Caribbean in driving positive change for women in the workplace, achieving a balance in gender equality in leadership roles across the organization, and boosting the per- centage of female employees within the compa- ny, which currently stands at 42 per cent. Kerry Scott, Chief People Officer, Liberty Latin America (LLA), marked the occasion of Interna- tional Women’s Day by saying: “Equality, Diversity and Inclusion is a commitment we make from the inside out, by giving voice to our people, valu- ing their opinions, and empowering them to be themselves and bring their whole self to work. To- day, on International Women’s Day, we advocate for gender equality and celebrate female accom- plishments. But there is still much to be done. “As a company, we are dedicated to closing the gap between men and women in the work- place. And we also want to be a positive catalyst for change in the communities where we live and work. We are on a journey. But I’m confident that advancements can be made if we continue to choose to challenge impediments to progress.” Today, March 8th, the company will gather its nearly 12,000 employees to participate in a Vir- tual Summit to commemorate IWD. The Summit will be held in English and Span- ish and hosted by Ms Scott, with participation from Liberty Latin America’s Executive Team and internationally recognized leaders: lShamfa Cudjoe, Minister of Sport and Com- munity Development, Trinidad & Tobago; lShellye Archambeau, Fortune 500 board mem- ber, former CEO of MetricStream, Advisor and Au- thor, with over 30 years of experience in technol- ogy leading organizations focused on business to business as well as business to consumer; lSenator Dr Varma Deyalsingh, Psychiatrist and Trinidad & Tobago MP; lGabrielle Britton, Scientist who is head of the Centre for Neuroscience of INDICASAT AIP, a biomedical research institute focused on basic and clinical research of human diseases as well as biodiversity research; lMarcela Perilla, VP of Sales for Dell LATAM. In recent years, LLA has implemented several innovative policies and initiatives to support a more gender-balanced culture including: nParental Leave Policy, which provides eight weeks of paid leave to new parents and 16 weeks leave for birth parents. This approach is the first of its kind in the telecommunications industry in the region and aligns closely with the company’s philosophy and culture of diversity and inclusion; nFlexible Work Framework, which offers in- creased personal flexibility that is built around trust, maintains togetherness, and focuses on re- sults. This effort was designed to recognize that the dynamics and balance between personal and professional life has changed as the world operates in an increasingly interconnected environment. To further its commitment and focus on Equal- ity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI), Liberty Latin America’s CEO, Balan Nair, signed the CEO Ac- tion for Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) Pledge. This is the largest CEO-driven business commit- ment to advance this topic in the workplace. A listening tour quickly followed this. More than 100 employees in 20 countries participated in discussions on role modeling, local talent de- velopment, gender pay equity, and other relevant issues around equal opportunity. Throughout this year, LLA will be hosting a “Talk Series” to bring forward a range of EDI top- ics. Employees will learn from one another and drive a focus on racial equity, gender equality, and topics related to sexual identity. 16 THE PUNCH, Monday, March 8, 2021 What's On in Miami The best movies, food and music Little girl of is a former Marine who lives a solitary life as a rancher Movies along the Arizona-Mexican border.
