MYTH OR LEGEND, WHO CARES?! Since the beginning of time many have been telling stories about where to find this undiscovered place - seeking the Fountain of Youth. Whosoever drinks or bathes in its water will forever be young. Herodotus, the Father of History, wrote in his early writings to have located the Fountain of Youth in Ethiopia. I have often wondered how the Ethiopians maintain their youthful beauty and Haile Selassie, the King of Kings, could have lived for a long time it seemed. A Macedonian king, Alexander the Great, accordingly to have found the restorative spring when he and his soldiers crossed the Land of Darkness, wherever that maybe, as was told in the Eastern version of Alexander Romance. In a Persian painting, he was portrayed watching a salted fish revived by the Water of Life. I love salted fish I could have just eaten it with white basmati rice. You bet, only Alexander can conquer the Persians (modern-day Iran). A popular medieval fantasy called The Travels of Sir John Mandeville (The Legend of Prester John) pointed the location of the fountain at the foot at the mountain in Polombe (modern-day Kollam, Kerala), India. And of course the best-told legend of all, El Spanish Conquistador Juan Ponce de Leon, first Governor of Puerto Rico, traveled to St. Augustine, Florida in 1513 to supposedly looking for the Fountain of Youth and turned out to be not true.
There's really no need to be forever looking for I or we have found 2 Fountain of Youth destinations. You don't have to buy very expensive face mask or resort to plastic surgery or have a deal with the devil and be Dorian Gray.
We have found the exact place in the
Dead Sea, just bathing for 15 minutes and your skin will be as soft as a newborn baby. However after 4 months you have to go back to the Dead Sea to repeat the ritual and revitalize.

Enjoying a good swim |

Amazing feeling |

Have you ever seen such youthful-looking group? They just came from the Dead Sea, refreshed and rejuvenated. |
Recanto Park Hotel in Iguassu, Brazil is the other such place. Just a short swim or a 15-30 minute stay in the swimming pool will do you good. Don't miss this place if you want your friends to wonder why you look so young.

Friends are amazed this woman had 2 sons in their 40s |

This is how I looked the next day after being revived and rejuvenated - I woke up in the morning with the most beautiful unmade-up face in the morning! |
