This is a weird one.
Imagine enjoying a nice, warm day at the pool, relaxing in the sun, catching some rays…..and getting nibbled on by some hungry yet helpful fish.
It turns out that “Fish Spas” are the next big thing in the world of skincare.
Garra Rufa fish, “…when placed in the spa, these fish can feed themselves on the dead cells of the human body, since they only consume such cells, leaving the healthy skin of the human body to grow. The whole process is reportedly free of pain. It won’t hurt and the bather might feel a pleasant tingling on his or her skin,” CRIEnglish.com reports.
For now, most of these spas are in China, Turkey and Korea, but knowing us Americans who will do anything to look better, I’m sure we’ll be seeing them in the states soon.
Here is a yummy before-and-after-fish shot. Lots of people are into this.
Nothing against fish – I mean, I love eating salmon and Finding Nemo was a super cute movie – but I don’t think I’d want them swarming all around me, noshing on my every inch. Plus, I’d be too afraid they’d get into places no sea creature should enter….if you know what I mean. But if you can get over the creep factor, it seems like a nice, natural idea, as opposed to all the chemical-induced shit they try to pump into your cells to cure skin conditions or just to make your skin look nicer.
Good thing these Garra Rufa fish are so tiny and harmless-looking. I guess that helps. If one of these bitches tried to eat me, I think I’d rather stick with the skin I’ve got.

They did something like this on a episode of Ugly Betty back in April.

When I go into shallow bays at the beach with my kids and just lay in the shallows you feel the little fish schools nibbling on you.
My mom can’t stand the tickle feeling so that’s why she prefers my drink that works on your skin as well as many other things http://www.mymonavie.com/knighty

I’ve actually been drinking that monavie juice for some time now and I got my mom and family drinking it as well. My grandmothers diabetes has gone down as well as help her pain after her hip replacement. I love it when I go into the gym. Everyone thought is was alcohol in that bottle. I’ve been making good money as well while helping people.
I could never let fish chew on me…gross lol I think I saw that Ugly Betty episode.

lol I know this is off the main topic but thanx for that link to that juice. I’m so into keeping fit and keeping healthy without taking pills. I can’t swallow pills. I was actually doing some research on it and found an article on CNN that mentions it more in case you weren’t aware. Thx again!
