Once a customer told me that she uses our Pure Water for her bath. I was flabbergasted! She shared to me that it does wonders for her skin! True story! 

So we send our team to do some research about how distilled water is beneficial for our skin.  And here they are.

5 REASONS to USE PURE WATER for BEAUTIFUL SKIN

We drift from steam humidifiers to customised essences, from scrubs and mists to moisturising makeup, all in the perpetual pursuit of hydration. But according to a group of Japanese scientists, we’ve got it all wrong. A Skin Research and Technology study, released today, has found that we need just one ingredient to achieve beautiful, hydrated skin. Water.

1.PURE Water (aka. Distilled water) is Free of Impurities – Lead & chemicals

While our tap water is safe to drink (no immediate life threathening effects of course!) , it is still high in impurities that is not visible to our eyes (they are known as dissolved solids). Our tap water contain impurities such as iron, nitrates, flourides and of course chlorine. If one has sensitive skin & is repeated exposed to tap water, it could do anything from causing dryness to exacerbate acne.  It also forces the skin to be exposed to other harmful substances and also moisture is lost from within. These heavy metals can cause oxidative reactions to occur, causing more free radicals to form which can eventually lead to the breakdown of elastic tissue and collagen.

It is just the pure simple reason of NO impurities in the water when you wash your face. It is funny how we know that we need to use ‘clear’ water to clean our clothes not ‘muddy’ water because we know the water is best agent to ‘remove’ dirt from our clothes. The same principle applies to our skin! You want clean (free of impurities) water to wash our face.

2. PURE Water is pH Neutral! ie pH6.5-7.5

Our tap water needed to be laced with Chlorine to kill harmful bacteria to prevent water borne bacteria that can caused our food or humans to be sick – which inadvertantly also causes the pH to become more acidic. Many feels ‘tight’ after washing their face. The pH neutral & chemical free Pure Water ensures that the skin is not stripped of its natural oils while removing dirt from the face.  Kristine documented her experience by washing her face with distilled water, read here on her experience

3. PURE water helps to unclog your pores

4. PURE water prevents Acne

Distilled water prevents acne. It also helps to reduce inflammation and dryness. Tap water can cause dryness, irritation and even breakouts because it can clog your pores. It can also make your psoriasis worse or any other skin condition. The minerals in the water, she says, are too heavy for most people — so it can disrupt our skin’s natural barrier and leave it unprotected.

5.PURE water can be used for simple hydration through mist!

A sample of distilled water contains only water molecules. All impurities like dissolved salts, colloidal particles, and important minerals like Fe, Zn, Cu, Ca, P, Mg, etc., are removed through distillation. On their removal, only water molecules are left. In water, oxygen and hydrogen atoms combine in a 1:2 ratio.
