The Benefits of Water for Your Skin
Did you know that water makes up 64% of your skin? We know that water is detrimental for a person’s overall health; maintaining energy levels, brain function, aiding in weight-loss, diminishing headaches and many more benefits. But did you know consuming the right amount has important skin benefits that will help keep your skin glowing bright, plump and hydrated.
If drinking water is not a significant part of your daily schedule, you should definitely consider squeezing in a glass of water during every meal. The results of neglecting to drink water include dry, flakey and tight skin, which is multiplied with the cold winter weather. Dehydrated skin is also prone to acne and wrinkling. Avoiding these undesirable skin conditions is simple; pour yourself a glass of water between your meetings, classes or appointments.
Water Increases Elasticity
Water is the main ingredient for luscious and resilient skin. Unlike high-end products and lotions, water is abundant and free! The recommended amount of water you should drink daily is eight 8-ounce glasses. At a minimum, incorporate this 8×8 rule into your routine. Opt for re-fillable water bottles as they allow you to easily replenish at water fountains and filtered water stations. You’ll notice your skin becoming more soft and elastic instead of tight and dry.
Water Plumps
Dehydrated skin is more likely to develop earlier signs of aging such as wrinkles, appears dull and can accentuate imperfections such as pores. However, drinking water restores the appearance making you feel rejuvenated and hydrated. Water is a key component in attaining a flawless complexion and consuming the right amount of water will affect and restore pigmentation making it noticeable brighter and clearer. Also, collagen production relies on water intake, and so consuming enough will leave your lips and cheeks more supple and healthy.
Water Voids Skin Disorders
When skin is properly hydrated, plump, and elastic, it’s less likely to crack and let in external particles that can cause skin irritations and blemishes. Evidence also suggests that drinking ample water can stabilize oil and sebum levels lessening acne breakouts. While drinking water will not completely prevent you from developing skin disorders, it will definitely lessen your chances of your skin feeling flakey, itchy and raw in concentrated and subject to skin conditions such as Eczema and Psoriasis.
Water Aids In Weight-Loss
Water also aids in digestion and circulation as it flushes toxins from your body. The benefit of consuming water can divert bloating and excess weight gain because of its calorie burning properties. Additionally, drinking a glass of water before breakfast, lunch and dinner, and before bed reduces your appetite and can help prevents you from overeating.
Water Affects Your Overall Health
The appearance of glowing and plump skin starts with the simple vow to keep your skin hydrated. By simply incorporating 8-10 glasses of water into your daily routine, you will create a good habit that will leave your skin refreshed and healthy.
