Beauty Drinks

Beauty on the rocks? That’s right. Now you can drink your way to beauty and agelessness. Or so they say. It’s no antioxidant vitamin cocktail and you won’t find it at the drugstore or health food store, but you can find them at beauty stores like Sephora.

While in olden days, the idea of beauty drinks with age-defying powers would have been considered suspect along the same lines as “swamp water”, today it’s becoming a reality. Beauty drinks, which fall under the category of functional foods, include Borba, an age-defying drink from the United States infused with large doses of vitamins E, B12, and B6 and Yagua Beauty Juice with white cocoa, collagen, and aloe vera, Netherlands. Even soft drink giant Coca-Cola has gotten in on the act introducing Coca-Cola's Love Body water with added fiber and polyphenols and Coca-Cola's BodyStyle water (purported to help burn fat).

Looks like science is edging toward that fountain of youth we all look for. According to the Borba website, the beauty drink helps slow the visible signs of aging in just seven days.
