Fresh Faced


I bet you didn't know that our skin absorbs up to 70% of a liquid substance into the bloodstream. The stomach only absorbs about 5%....With all the recent news about contaminated public drinking water satiated with chemicals and flushed pharmaceuticals, we quickly opt for bottled water out of disgust for what we could be ingesting. What we put on our skin is just as critical as what we put in our bodies.

On that note try washing your face with parsley water. I heard about this great concoction for perfectly toned and blackhead free skin from the facialists at Mario Badescu and it chemical free!

-Soak fresh parsley overnight in mineral or distilled water.
-Strain out parsley and discard
-Pour water back into the water bottle and store in refrigerator
-Add one tablespoon of vodka or a couple teaspoons of vitamin E which are natural preservatives
-Use cotton ball to wipe all over face
-Repeat morning and night or whenever you need or feel refreshed!


I also plan to find a Brita type filtration system for my shower head....I'll let you know how that goes and what it does to my already unfortunate water pressure.
