Water: Key to Natural Beauty

Water, water everywhere. Thanks to technological advances, experts in dermatology have been able to observe the affect that water has on our skin’s texture and appearance.

Many studies in dermatology confirm that the most significant factor in healthy skincare does not only depend on the cosmetics that you apply (which, of course, do make a difference) but also largely on how much water you drink.1

So…how does water help you to look great?

WATER
Up to 60% of the human adult body is water; it’s logical that a lack of sufficient water intake will affect your appearance.2

That’s why drinking water is undoubtedly the easiest and most efficient way of minimizing signs of aging, keeping skin smooth and the body healthy.

HOW WATER AFFECTS YOUR SKIN?
Water eliminates toxins from your body that result from daily contact with pollutants, tobacco smoke, stress and other sources of free radical formation. Precisely, free radicals are the principal cause of skin diseases and premature aging.

Water not only gives skin a more youthful appearance but also eliminates elements that cause the appearance of acne.

Acne is formed by accumulation of bacteria, oil, dead skin and dirt on the skin. Water washes away both internal and external impurities.

Plus, water helps vitamins and nutrients to easily flow throughout the body. In particular, it joins forces with the body’s organs to distribute water-based vitamins like C and B12, which help keep the skin smooth and young.

HOW MUCH WATER DO I NEED TO DRINK DAILY?
As a rule, you should aim to drink between half an ounce to an ounce of water per day for each pound you weigh.3

WHEN IS IT ESSENTIAL TO DRINK WATER?

Drink small amounts of water throughout the day. Drinking water all at once is not good.3 It’s very important to drink and recuperate lost fluid after exercising or sunbathing. Don’t forget that water is good not only for your organs but also for your outward appearance.  

WATER INSIDE AND WATER OUTSIDE
When cleansing facial skin or the body, it’s best that the water is lukewarm. Very hot water can dry out the skin excessively, but at an adequate temperature, its cleansing power is enormous.

A BEAUTY TRICK
Drink water first thing in the morning; it will help eliminate a puffy or swollen face. Water helps relieve dehydration, which can cause your face to be bloated. 

Who would have thought that water would end up being one of the most relevant beauty secrets in healthy skincare?
