So I had been hearing about this bottled water product that is flavored with ingredients that are supposed to promote healthy and flawless skin. The product is called BORBA skin balance water, and you can buy it online at BORBA's site or at Walgreens. It comes in three different flavors, each providing a different skin benefit. There is the BORBA skin balance water, the BORBA age defying water, the BORBA firming water, and the BORBA replenishing water.
I decided to order the skin clarifying and replenishing waters to see how it worked. The skin clarifying water "contains a revolutionary cultivated bio-vitamin complex along with a blend of nutrients intended to help with clogged pores, troubled skin and impurities and allow your body to help skin regenerate its natural support system and improve clarity." The replenishing water raises "moisture levels, keeping skin smooth, firmed and glowing. This revolutionary bio-vitamin complex includes essential skin-boosting nutrients from the Lychee fruit, plus nourishing Papaya and Guava, vitamins C & E, and 4 essential B vitamins to rebalance and rehydrate your body from within."
I found the taste of both drinks very light and refreshing. Also, my body felt well hydrated after drinking the waters as well as my skin. As someone who has skin on the dryer side, I felt that my skin retained more moisture and remained clear. I definitely want to try this product long term as my first experience with it was a positive one.
Drinking the BORBA water made me think how fun it would be to use this product or the types f juices found within this product to make various cocktails and drinks. I found some fun cocktail recipes using the BORBA water at Night Tap, with each cocktail explaining it's benefit for the skin. Whether making these drinks alcoholic or virgin, they taste great and have many great attributes for your skin. As Night Tap states - how can you beat "booze with benefits"!?
