Your skin might be dehydrated.

Are you suffering from dehydrated, dry skin?

If you drink less than 2 liters of water a day, you're

potentially under-hydrated and your skin and cells are going to suffer the consequence.

In a day, how much water do you drink?

Not tea, coffee, juice or other fluids, just pure, natural water?

Some side-effects of inadequate water intake are

• dull and dry, dehydrated skin

• lack of energy

• inability to concentrate

• headaches

• constipation

We have always heard the wellness advice, "drink at least eight glasses of water a day," but few of us know that not drinking enough water has a significant detrimental effect on the quality of our skin. The skin that is dehydrated appears less plump and loses elasticity, leading to more fine lines and wrinkles.

Do you know that by the time you feel thirsty your body is already undergoing dehydration?

Water takes up two-thirds of the human body and 85 percent of the brain. Because of this, proper hydration, including, of course, the skin, is necessary for all our organs to function effectively.

Why is it important to keep your skin hydrated?

The skin is the largest organ in our bodies, as discussed in our previous blog, " Why Use Natural Skin Care," and is extremely important when it comes to detoxification processes.

Sufficiently hydrated skin may look plump and sustain flexibility. One Columbia research from the University of Missouri found that sufficient hydration improves blood supply to the skin instantly.

Regularly hydrating your skin can encourage the following:

a- Reduce aging signs: Keeping your body well hydrated will help preserve the elasticity of the skin and reduce the development of fine lines and wrinkles.

b- Improve your skin's overall appearance-Lack of hydration will make your skin look dark, tight and dry. It is less likely to split and let in foreign contaminants that can cause inflammation and blemishes while the skin is hydrated, plump, and elastic.

c- Help in cycles of detoxification- Drinking water allows the body to detoxify. It flushes contaminants through the skin through perspiration, as well as using the liver, kidneys, lymphatic system and digestive system.

d- Help to combat acne and breakouts-Adequate hydration helps to reduce oil concentration by balancing the ratio of water to oil on the skin surface and combating the build-up of dead skin cells.

Stay refreshed

Squeeze, lime, lemon, orange or even grapefruit juice in your water to give it a little flavour. Who says hydrating has to be boring?
