Are you a sucker for all things natural? If yes, I have two words for you to level up your skin care game: Sparkling. Water.
Yes, ladies, you read that right. Cleansing with sparkling water has been ALL the beauty rage in Japan and South Korea. People are dunking their heads in bowls filled with sparkling water to achieve healthier-looking complexion and brighter skin!
Beauty Benefits of Sparkling Water
This beauty secret is said to be one of the most effective natural remedies to cleanse your skin and make it glow in no time. The bubbles are known to deliver oxygen deeply into the pores, suck out all the dirt and bacteria. The carbonation also helps clean and tighten the pores, leaving your skin feeling softer and healthier. Plus, it brings the collagen fibers back together for firmer skin!
Ways to use Sparkling Water as face cleanser
You can either do the dunking method by filling a bowl with sparkling water and mixing an equal amount of still water – just to dilute it a bit to make sure it’s not too harsh on your skin. Submerge your makeup-free face into the water for about 10 to 15 seconds and enjoy the tingling effect of the bubbles carefully seeping into those pores. You can also opt to apply it using a cotton pad and lightly wiping it all over your face if the idea of dunking your entire face into a bowl of water doesn’t sit well with you.
Beauty Products with Sparkling Water
If you want to get the benefits of sparkling water but with added advantages, beauty brands have slowly infused this ingredient to their skin care items. Missha is one of the first to hop on this trend by releasing the SUPER AQUA PORE-KLING TONER, P450. This trusty K-Beauty item is recommended for those with oily skin, have visibly large pores, whiteheads, and blackheads. It is infused with Ferrarelle, Italy’s No.1 Sparkling Water – as well as apple mint and lime extracts to help control excessive sebum.
