Get Glowing Skin with a Few Glasses of Water

Nobody likes dry skin.

It can accentuate the appearance of pores and wrinkles, create breakouts as it tries to correct itself, and is downright uncomfortable. Dry skin is often more prevalent in winter when dry winds lash our faces and we’re less inclined to drink water to cool ourselves down.

However, maintaining a water intake of 8 to 10 glasses per day is vital to maintaining healthy glowing skin.

How does water intake contribute to beautiful skin?

• Water increases blood flow through the skin to provide a healthy glow and nourish skin with nutrients essential for repair.
• By hydrating the skin, water promotes a plumper appearance that helps camouflage pores and wrinkles
• Water flushes the body of harmful toxins that can accelerate the signs of ageing

To get the best results from your 8 to 10 glasses of water each day, it’s best to spread your water intake out so that it has time to slowly infiltrate your skin. Otherwise, you’ll find yourself running to the bathroom and losing all that hydration straight through your bladder.

How can I increase my water consumption?

• Start and finish your day with a glass of water.
  Make it the first thing you do when you get out of bed and the last thing you do before you get back in.
• Have a glass of water with every meal.
  This will also help in reducing portion sizes because we often think we’re hungry when our body is actually feeling dehydrated
• Carry a water bottle with you wherever you go.
  You’ll be amazed at how easy it is to drink more water simply by having it within arms’ reach.
• Mix it up with a bit of natural flavour.
  Adding a slice of lemon, some fresh berries or a few mint leaves can help make water more exciting.
• Get into herbal teas
  Hot water is just as hydrating as cold water, so why not swap your morning coffee or end of day wine for a relaxing and hydrating herbal tea?
• Keep track of your intake.
  Whether you download an app or draw a diagram on the bottom of your to-do list, keeping track of how many glasses you’ve had can be a great reminder to keep drinking water.

If you consistently drink 8 to 10 glasses of water per day (at least 2 litres), you’re sure to see healthier more glowing skin in no time.
