Drinking Water & Skin Care Benefits

Drinking Water & Skin Care Benefits

As I have gone from my 20’s, into my 30’s and now in my 40’s, I have noticed a big change in my skin. I’m applying a bit more moisturizer & having to exfoliate more than once a week. I’ve tried many different skin care lines, and even though I have found one to keep my skin soft and moisturized, I still notice the huge difference in how my skin feels when I’m drinking more water.

The benefits of drinking water for skin are numerous. It’s true! You’ve heard it many times before… drink lots of water. While not everyone agrees that water will improve the appearance of your skin, in my experience, & some of my clients, it surely does! When your body is properly hydrated, you will not only feel better, your skin will look better as well.

More Benefits

Water stimulates circulation; it also controls and regulates the skin’s natural balance, replaces moisture in our skin that we loose in everyday activities, helps skin keep hydrated, and prevents dry skin. Drinking water also flushes toxins out of the body. With inadequate amounts of water flowing through the body, toxins can build up and escape through your pores, causing breakouts. Therefore, by flushing the body internally with water, breakouts are less likely to occur due to toxin release through the skin.

Proper hydration will also help to eliminate sunken eyes and dark circles under the eyes. Now wouldn’t you like a younger looking complexion, with fewer wrinkles, less breakouts, and no flakiness? I’ll bet you want a big glass of water now, huh?  For those of you that do not like drinking water, try adding slices of fruit to give it some flavor. If you don’t like lemon in your water, get creative, add whatever fruits you like. I love drinking water chilled with lime, orange, and lemon slices. Drink up!
