When it comes to skin health, I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve tried countless toners, serums and lotions all promising me a noticeably radiant glow. These same products have also claimed to increase my skin’s elasticity, diminishing signs of aging. As vital to beauty and skincare as many of these products can be, there is one simple secret to making sure they work: staying hydrated! I know how important having perfect skin can be, but have you ever thought of water as an essential beauty product? You’ve probably heard that the human body is 60% water—that makes hydration a vital component of any beauty regimen. The rewards include:
- Clear Skin – Drinking water keeps your skin cleansed and hydrated, promoting clear, fresh skin. By drinking water you flush toxins out of your body and eliminate the dirt that often clogs your pores, giving you that healthy glow you’ve been hoping for!
- Tighter Skin – Water also helps to keep the skin tight and toned. Your body naturally fills cells with water to make them firm and more elastic, thus creating the appearance of smooth and flawless finish. When skin cells are hydrated, this can help reduce unsightly cellulite and loose skin.
- Glossy Hair & Nails – Drinking water hydrates cells, and your hair and nails are no exception. Good hydration makes your hair naturally soft and silky and your nails stronger. If you have frizzy or damaged hair and no amount of expensive hair products are helping, drink more water. It won’t be long before you notice a difference.
So, before you throw out any expensive beauty products that don’t seem to be working—pour yourself a glass of water. You’ll be amazed at what it can do for your skin, hair and nails! Consider it the beauty boost you’ve been looking for.
