Borba Skin Balance Water

Funny how a beverage can become a fashion accessory.

Take the Evian bottle or the Red Bull can. They’re not just thirst quenchers. They’re statements.

Then there was fat-burning water. Like, just carrying it made you look thin. (Um, yeah.)

The next item you shouldn’t be caught dead without? Borba Skin Balance Water, which claims to cure whatever ails your skin. There are different flavors for different needs. The replenishing water, formulated for dry, dehydrated skin, promises to reduce roughness and dryness by about 50 percent with something called gelatin-complex aids. Adult acne scarring your outlook? Suck down the breakout and pore-cleansing flavor to clear up imperfections. There’s even one to decrease lines and wrinkles.

Like all stylish drinks, Borba’s come in attractive packaging that sports one of three colors: lavender, pink, or a smashing sea-foam green.

So if your newly improved, perfectly flawless skin doesn’t make enough of a statement, the bottle in your hand will.
