Yes, that's right - hydrated makes your skin glow and look plump - so, in fact, makes your skin look younger!
Just saying!
Hydrating the skin is just one part of the process - using an amazing serum, moisturiser, or night cream with ingredients that help to retain moisture, such as Hyaluronic Acid, for instance.
But, you have to ensure that you internal hydration, this is important for the function of every organ of the body; many people suffer with some form of dehydration.
There has to be a balance of hydration, and some proclaim that you require two litres, whereas others state that this is too much and no more than 1.5 litres. You know if you are drinking enough fluids, especially water.
If you constantly get headaches start by drinking water, as your brain could be dehydrated. Those who imbibed a little extra alcohol yesterday, will know if they are suffering from brain dehydration - yep, the typical hangover, where you need to detox by drinking lots of water (and perhaps even some milk thistle)!
The other way to see if you are dehydrated is take a look at your urine. I know, not something we want to really look at but if it is almost transparent or corn coloured then you are adequately hydrated, but dark orange-brown you need to drink loads more water as you are definitely severely dehydrated (if this is the case you need to seek medical advice). There are varying grades of colour in between but a definitely yellow upwards means ….. drink more water!
I hope this helps you understand your body's hydration and how it affects you and your skin.
