Here's the thing, from buying expensive creams to getting even more expensive treatments, us ladies have tried virtually everything to get our skin looking and feeling right. And frankly, we're sick of it all leading nowhere. It's all getting to be a little too expensive and extremely discouraging.
But not to worry ladies, there might be a silver lining to all our woes after all and SURPRISE -- it's not as hard to obtain as we may think. According to Refinery29, Alicia Yoon of Korean beauty site Peach and Lily revealed that carbonated mineral water and its effervescent advantages may actually be the secret to firmer, plumper skin.
