The latest must-have for those who care deeply about their skin comes in a bottle ... filled with water. People often joke that 'there's something in the water' and in this case, there certainly is.

Los Angeles-based company Borba has created a skin-care system you don't apply to your face; you drink it instead. Infused with ingredients such as guava, papaya and walnut extract, it aims to remedy common problems such as dryness, spots and wrinkles.

Unlike other time-consuming cleansing and toning regimens, the beauty of Borba water is you simply gulp it down. The company has also devised a range of gummy bears loaded with vitamins and antioxidants said to make the eyes whiter and brighter.
