Infused water is becoming more and more enjoyable by many for its various beauty and health benefits. It is packaged in bottles, and can be drunk all day long to achieve that clear skin, counteract cravings for food, sodas and other addictions.

There are three common types of infused water and they include:

Fruits infused water:

This is basically fruits infused in water with added flavour to taste or spices to bring a new taste to it. Any fruits will serve for this so you are free to choose whichever one you want based on your taste or their beauty benefits.

This is great for clear skin as most fruits are know for one skin beauty benefit or another. Find out what your skin needs and feed it rightly through the use of nutrients in fruits.

Herbs infused water:

You can infuse herbs in water if you want to achieve a particular beauty goal. All herbs can do one thing or t e of other so your choice of herbs should be what you are willing to get. For this recipe, you may need to add sweeteners just so you are able to drink the infused water freely.

Though herbs are mostly for health care, they can still work well to help you brighten your skin and leave it clear.

Vegetables infused water:
