Jill,
Thank you for mentioning that you made the CS with bottled drinking water 
instead of distilled. I think this clears up the mystery.

There is a reason why CS must be made with distilled: the lack of minerals in 
the water, which the distillation process removes. The minerals in filtered or 
tap water conduct charge rapidly, which is why you were able to make the CS so 
quickly. But having minerals in your water also means that silver compounds can 
be created. No doubt this contributed to your skin turning gray.

Using distilled water is a big piece in properly made colloidal silver.

Best,
Nenah

  The color of my CS was light gray.  I made it in about 2 minutes with bottled 
drinking (not distilled) water and used the .999 pure silver sticks.  No salt, 
baking soda, or anything else.  I definitely had makeup on over it, as I 
wouldn't be caught dead out of the house without it.
