The Beauty of Water

Water hydrates our insides, and proper hydration equals beautiful skin. Water helps the kidneys eliminate toxins from the body quickly. It also keeps skin from drying out, thus preventing wrinkles. Another way water can help skin is through steam. Try a rejuvenating facial steam and see how soft and smooth your skin feels afterward: put three handfuls of chamomile into three litres of water and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from stove, pour into a large, shallow bowl, and let the steam rise onto your face for about 10 to 15 minutes. Put a towel over your head and the bowl for more efficient steaming.
