Water acts as a natural remedy towards
achieving a beautiful and healthy skin. Water is a precious gift to mankind and
forms almost 70% of our body weight. Therefore you can imagine how important
water is for the smooth functioning of the body systems.

Lack of sufficient water causes wrinkles on skin:
Dehydration, Difficulty in blood circulation, Body gets less active
and more tired. Water also keeps the digestive tract in order. Helps to
flush out the toxins and controls constipation. No wonder then, that the
water acts as a natural remedy towards achieving a beautiful and healthy
skin. Dehydration due to decreased water intake or increased loss by way
of evaporation leads to premature ageing. In this, the dehydrated skin
shows in the form of fine lines and dryness termed as wrinkles.

Cause of dull skin
Constipation due to low water intake as we
all know leads to raised toxins levels and therefore a dull skin that easily
breaks out into pimples.
Cause of Dry skin:
The right amount of water is necessary for skin's
elasticity and suppleness. Even without sweating the body is losing the water
through skin and this needs to be replaced. Otherwise the skin's cells become
dry, crack, peel and change color.
Acne prone skin
Water has the power to hydrate, revitalize,
detoxify and oxygenate the skin. Increased warm water intake regulates the
excess oil present in an 'acne prone' skin.
Skin Care
Let me just enumerate some of the basic needs of
water in skin care. The hygiene in our body especially skin starts with a soap
and water bath. Hygiene prevents body odor, fungal infections and any other
parasitic or bacterial infection.
Beautiful skin
Detoxification and weight regulating programmes use
a lot of water in there treatment protocol. Large amount of water needs to be
consumed in both these treatments. This in turn flushes away toxins, clears
constipation, increases immunity of the body and thus affects the skin directly
and makes the skin beautiful.
Skin Ageing
Then comes the skin care products that use water as
there base. These products (sunscreen, moisturizers, body lotions, repair serum,
night creams) are used to prevent or reverse the coetaneous ageing of the skin.
Glow to the skin
Many exercises also use water , eg, swimming,
floatation therapy, steam hydrotherapy, etc, that increase blood flow to the
skin and which in turn increases levels of nutrients and oxygen and flushing off
of toxins that again imparts a glow to the skin. Healthy cooking also requires
water.
Thus we can easily say that water is life and the
secret of the glowing skin is water, water every where and lots of it to
drink.
