Royal mineral water cured my rosacea (so is THAT why the Queen looks so radiant?)

- By Sam Blanchard

IT has long been a Royal favourite, with the two longest-reigning monarchs both enjoying a tipple.

Now the health benefits of water that flows from a spring on the edge of the Balmoral estate are being more widely praised, with one woman crediting it with curing a painful skin condition.

Kirsten Campbell, 33, from Insch, Aberdeensh­ire, suffered with rosacea before she began drinking Deeside Mineral Water instead of tap water every day.

The mother of two claims a litre of mineral water daily from a source near the Queen’s estate has left her skin clear.

Scientists have previously claimed the pure waters of the Pannanich Wells, in Aberdeensh­ire, could help hold back the ravages of time. Tests have shown the spring water mops up molecules linked to ageing, as well as a host of conditions.

Diagnosed with rosacea in 2012, Mrs Campbell’s skin was ‘red and fiery’ and she suffered painful bumps on her face.

The mother, who works as a financial controller, had to stop using her prescribed cream when she became pregnant with her second child. But she began drinking the water, costing 4 p per 00ml bottle, ‘religiousl­y’ after reading about its remarkable abilities. She also uses sun cream.

Mrs Campbell said: ‘The redness has gone away and the bumps are down to little dots. My rosacea is hardly visible and people wouldn’t know I had it unless I told them.’

Martin Simpson, managing director of Deeside Mineral Water, said: ‘The water has a unique combinatio­n of natural properties which support living cells and encourage well-being.’
