Water is necessary to maintain healthy and glowing skin. If your skin doesn’t get enough water, not only does it become dry, tight, and flaky, but it also becomes even more prone to aging.
Hydrating your skin is essential – take a look:
Reduced appearance of signs of aging
Water helps your skin maintain moisture, which increases your elasticity, so signs of aging like wrinkles and fine lines aren’t able to manifest easily. You can let go of all the anti-aging skin treatments that are expensive as well as time consuming. You can instead rely on water to delay the appearance of signs of aging. Keeping your skin hydrated by drinking enough water keeps your skin soft and supple and also enhances the complexion.
Maintain pH balance
If you have problematic skin, maintaining a healthy pH balance is the key to keeping your skin blemish-free and glowing. The pH level of the skin refers to how acidic or alkaline it is, on the scale of 1-14, 1 being most acidic and 14 refers to most alkaline state. The optimal level of pH should be 5.5. More water in your skincare routine can help balance your pH level for this purpose.
Get rid of toxins
Keeping skin hydrated helps to increase metabolic rate, which helps to combat skin disorders. The more toxins you can flush out, the better your skin becomes. Who doesn’t want radiant and flawless skin?
No more sagging skin
When you shed fat, your skin tends to sag, in order to reduce the sagging of skin you should ensure your skin is getting the proper amount of water. The skin is tightened, while you regain your lost glow.
Prevent breakouts
Dealing with acne and boils is a huge inconvenience – not only do they look unsightly, but they can immensely painful too. Adequate hydration ensures you can keep breakouts at bay, while maintaining clear skin at the same time.
No more puffiness
Puffiness around the eyes can totally spoil your overall look, so keep your eyes looking sparkly and bright by ensuring your skin gets water. As the skin gets rehydrated, the puffiness begins to gradually reduce.
How to ensure you are getting enough water for the skin?
While drinking plenty of water throughout the day is one way to go, it is recommended you use cosmetics that are formulated using water. Different types of water is used for making cosmetics such as Thermes de Cilaos in the Reunion Island, Avène Thermal Spring Water, Black Sea Water, Evian Spring Water, Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, and much more.
So before shopping for your next batch of cosmetics, do check the label for the ingredients!
