Sparkling Water vs A.A. Water

An increasing number of people these days prefer drinking carbonated water, believing that it is good for digestion and for diet (weight loss). A friend of mine even  bought his own soda-maker (carbonator) at home and drink every day. From my understanding, "carbonated drink" contains carbon dioxide. If so, is it true that it is good for our body?

One of the ways to prevent skin from drying is to use exfoliating gel, peeling cream or scrub to remove the "dead skin cells" on the skin surface. It is important to exfoliate because when dead skin cells stay and are accumulated on the skin surface, it first hinders perspirations, which is the process of eliminating/excreting wastes from the body. Then this leads into skin troubles. This is why many women exfoliate once or twice a week to maintain clear, healthy skin. However,  one should also remember that excessive exfoliation can irritate the ski n. This is because in case of too much exfoliation, newly created cells can be as well removed with dead cells, thereby removing the protective shield or layer of skin. Thus, one must provide adequate amount of moisture and nutrients. Also, during winter, one experiences th...
