6 Surprising Things You Didn't Know About Mormons

"The whole armor of God" is a Biblical metaphor used to describe the underwear that some Mormons wear. The garments—a white undershirt, and white boxer brief-style shorts or pants—are adorned with symbols to remind Mormons of their covenants. Mormons believe their bodies are gifts from God and are advised not to get tattoos or body piercings, and they are encouraged to dress modestly. A recent study found that Mormons can identify other Mormons by looking at their skin texture. Mormons typically abstain from caffeine, alcohol, cigarettes, and other lifestyle choices that can affect skin appearance.
