I know this is going to sound crazy, but I found the solution to beautiful, young looking skin. I am 45 years old and I am always mistaken for being early to mid 30's. The other day at the doctor, my nurse said I looked late 20's and wanted to know what skin care creams I use. Here's my secret... I don't do anything. I do not put a thing on my skin. I started doing this in my late 20's. I rinse my skin with purified water, gently blot dry and leave it to air dry the rest of the way. If my skin is peely or a bit dry, I take a towel and rub it gently to exfoliate after a rinse.
I do not go out in the sun, if I do, I use a good sunblock. That is it. When I turned 38, I thought maybe I should start using creams, just to preserve my skin. So I went to the makeup counters and tried out everything expensive. They actually made me look stretched and dried out, and less youthful.
Another thing to consider is this, if you want to look healthy and have a glow on the outside, it's what you put into your body that gives you that glow and healthy look. No cream or regimen can do that for you long term.

After reading Dr. Batman's findings and the transcript of his interview, I immediately got into Water Therapy. After I began to drink 2 liters of water a day with about a teaspoon of added crystal sea salt (non refined), I found that on the 3rd day my skin felt soft and supple. I shower in hot water (not warm) on cold mornings and that used to dry my skin to the point of terrible itchiness all over the body including my butts and I either had to satisfy myself (satisfaction = a scratch for every itch) or I hade to apply mosturizing cream all over my body. I could see dry dead cells fall of my chest and abdomen area every time I removed my banian or T-Shirt.
I no longer have any visible dry and/or flaky skin and the skin feels smooth & supple. My butts feel very soft to the touch. My skin now glows and is radiant. I guess I am done with moisturizers (no more of harmful chemicals to be rubbed on my skin). Also, I sleep better at night.

Drinking lots of water every day cured my blotchy and spotty skin. Now my skin is lovely and pure. It takes a while to get used to when you start drinking a lot of water but within a few days your body adjusts to it and you can see the effects. My face is usually blotchy and a bit spotty, but now I can really tell the difference. The spots have cleared up and my skin looks softer and more even. I am very pleased.

I have tried drinking plenty of water. it made my skin softer. i look 10 years younger -- people can't believe i'm 34. i have a 15 and 13 year old and people think my son is my brother, so drinking plenty of water does help.

The body needs plenty of water, doesn't matter if its summer or winter. drink drink drink..Whenever you go to the emergency room, the first thing they do is stick you with an IV of .9% sodium chloride to keep your body hydrated. Most people dont drink enough water, too much soda or other sweet drinks. Tap water is fine also, it builds your immunity. Most people think I am 16, but when I tell them I am twice that age they ask how can that be? I say "water" and "can I have my pack of smokes now.. thank you
