Thanks to technological advances, experts in dermatology have been able to observe the effect that our diet has on our skin’s texture and appearance. Studies in dermatology confirm that the most significant factor in skincare does not only depend on the topical products which we apply (which, of course, do make a difference) but also largely on our diet.
Our body is 70% water; therefore, it’s logical that a lack of sufficient water intake will affect our appearance.
That’s why drinking water is undoubtedly the easiest and most efficient way of preventing the signs of aging, maintaining the smooth texture of the skin, and the health of the body.
Water removes toxins from the body that are built up each day through contact with pollutants, stress, and other sources of free radical formation. Concretely, free radicals are the principal cause of skin diseases and premature aging.
Water not only gives skin a more youthful appearance but also eliminates all the elements, which cause the appearance of acne. Acne is formed by the accumulation of bacteria, oil, dead skin, or other impurities on the skin. Even for those with oily skin and long-standing challenges with acne, water is needed to wash away both internal and external impurities.
Additionally, water helps vitamins and nutrients to easily flow throughout the body. In particular, it collaborates with all of the body’s organs to distribute vitamins E, C, and B12, which help maintain skin’s healthy, youthful appearance.
Normally it’s recommended that a person drink at least a liter and a half of water, although according to Gina Shaw in an article on water intake and healthy dieting, many physicians recommend using the following formula to calculate recommended water intake: your weight in pounds multiplied by 0.5. Whatever the result, drink that many ounces of water each day. For example, someone who weighs 200lbs should drink at least 100 ounces of water each day (200 x 0.5 = 100oz).
It’s very important to drink water and recuperate lost fluid after exercising or sunbathing. Don’t forget that water is good not only for your internal organs but also for your outward appearance.
When cleansing your face and body, it’s best to use lukewarm water. Very hot water can lead to excessive dry skin. Cleansing skin at the proper temperature can boost the power and effectiveness of any cleanse.
Drink a full glass of water first thing in the morning; it will help eliminate puffiness or swelling in the face.
Who would have thought that water would end up being one of the most relevant beauty secrets in 2021?
