Hydrate for Gorgeous Skin

Wow, this weather has been unbe­liev­able hasn’t it?  As the tem­per­a­ture begins to rise, it’s impor­tant to keep hydrating!

In the win­ter, it is drier, and our bod­ies crave water, prompt­ing us to work on our hydra­tion by drink­ing enough water and flu­ids.  How­ever, as tem­per­a­ture and humid­ity rises, it can be more dif­fi­cult to remem­ber to quench your body’s cells.

There are three ways you can help make sure your skin looks the very best:

1. Exfo­li­ate
2. Hydrate
3. Pro­tect

I will dis­cuss how to best exfo­li­ate at a later time.  Today, I want to talk about hydrat­ing your body and your skin.

Drink­ing water is very impor­tant.  When we hydrate from the inside, water is absorbed into all our cells, not just our skin cells.  An ade­quate amount of water is impor­tant for over­all good health because water is involved in and helps improve bod­ily func­tions like diges­tion, absorp­tion, cir­cu­la­tion, and excretion.

Hydra­tion with water aids in the flush­ing or removal of harm­ful tox­ins from the body. With­out suf­fi­cient water, meta­bolic wastes are not removed effi­ciently. The body would hold in tox­ins rather than expelling them as required for proper health. This toxin removal is per­formed in the kid­neys and drink­ing water allows the kid­neys to per­form this task properly.

Drink­ing water is ben­e­fi­cial for mus­cles, help­ing main­tain proper mus­cle tone and pre­vent­ing painful mus­cle cramp­ing.  Your facial mus­cle tone helps with sag­ging and wrin­kling, also.

The pre­ven­tion of kid­ney stones or at least the reduc­tion of risk of devel­op­ing kid­ney stones is another ben­e­fit of drink­ing water in the right quantities.

Drink­ing water also helps to increase our energy lev­els lubri­cate our joints.

Hydrat­ing from the inside is going to help your body and your skin.  It will help you main­tain a good mois­ture bal­ance, elim­i­nate wastes prop­erly, and help with tox­i­c­ity.  So, take care of your­self and drink away!
