Is This How to Achieve Supermodel Skin?

If midterms are taking a toll on your skin, stress no more. Between now and finals, we have a skincare product that just might cure all—coconut water! Brazil’s high-demand supermodel, Adriana Lima, swears by it and maybe you will too.


Many collegiettes love to drink coconut water for its health benefits, but you probably haven’t heard that it can also work as a topical skin care treatment. Lima, known for her drop-dead gorgeous skin, uses the stuff when her skin needs a little extra TLC. “If you have a tough day and want to treat yourself, you can soak your skin with cotton pads and ice-cold coconut water,” she says.

Hey—if it works for Adriana Lima, you don’t have to tell us twice to start dousing our faces in coconut water!
