Some scientific studies also show that bacteria do not survive for long on the copper surface. However, it is important to understand that the direct impact of these properties on skin glow has not been fully proven yet.
Claims like "parlour-like glow in 10 minutes" or "detox facial" sound good, but they do not have strong scientific evidence behind them. Our skin itself has a natural protective layer and the actual detox of the body happens through the liver and kidneys. Therefore, just by applying copper water on the face, deep detox or instant glow cannot be considered a completely true claim.
What can be the benefits of using it on the skin?
If you apply water kept in a clean copper vessel on your face, it can definitely hydrate the skin like normal water. Also, if natural ingredients like aloe vera, rose water or turmeric are added to it, then you can get light freshness and soft glow. But this effect is temporary and appears differently on the skin of every person.
How to use copper water in skincare
Fill a clean copper vessel (lota or bottle) with water and keep it for 6-8 hours. This water is ready for use in the morning. Wash your face with this water in the morning. It helps in cleansing the skin and giving slight freshness. Now make a DIY face pack, for this take 1 teaspoon aloe vera gel, 1 teaspoon gram flour or multani mitti and a little rose water, apply it on the face for 10-15 minutes and then wash it. After this, apply this water lightly on the face with the help of cotton. It can help in refreshing the skin and brings natural glow.
Can it have some disadvantages?
Wrong or excessive use of copper can also cause harm. If water is kept in a vessel for a long time or the vessel is not clean, impurities may enter it. Applying such water on the face can cause skin irritation or allergy, especially in people with sensitive skin. Therefore, it is very important to take care of cleanliness and time before use.
How true is this claim?
Using copper utensils may be a traditional method with limited benefits, but it is not right to consider it a miraculous skin care solution. To get a parlor-like glow, a balanced diet, adequate water, good sleep and proper skin care routine are more important. You can use copper water as a supporting measure, but do not expect miraculous results from it.
