Benefits of drinking water for your skin:

1. Improves Skin Tone

Drinking enough water helps the body to flush out toxins while giving you healthier skin. Studies have revealed that drinking just two cups of water can increase blood flow to the skin which gives it an even tone.

Staying hydrated helps increase elasticity in the skin as it stays moisturised for longer. Heightened elasticity in the skin implies delayed sagging of the skin and no premature appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

3. Faster Healing

If you have been out in the sun and got sunburnt, drinking water can speed up the healing process. Applying some aloe vera to sunburnt areas also proves to be immensely soothing.

4. Reduces Puffiness

When the skin looks puffy, it is actually retaining water to protect you from dehydration. This occurs when you don’t drink enough water. Staying hydrated will reduce swelling and puffiness in your face.

5. Prevents Acne

Drinking ample water balances the oil and water content on the skin of your face. This helps to prevent excess oil and sebum secretion, which means fewer clogged pores and acne.

Adult acne is getting more common these days due to busy lifestyles and lack of hydration. A study revealed that 4-6 people out of 100 in the age groups of 20-40 have adult acne.

6. No More Itchy Skin On The Face

Dry skin always tends to itch. It can even develop dry flakes and crack due to lack of moisture. Drinking enough water ensures your skin doesn’t get dry enough to itch.

7. Tighter Skin

Due to sudden weight loss, your skin can start to sag. To prevent your skin from sagging and to tighten it in areas where the sagging is prominent, like the upper arms, thighs, waist and jawline, drinking water helps as it revives the skin’s elasticity.

8. Maintains Your pH Balance

Sensitive, acne-ridden skin or problem skin due to various issues, can be revived to a healthy version with water. Your skin can glow and be free of blemishes if you drink enough water that will help to balance your body’s pH levels

Intake of water helps maintain a healthy gut and aids in proper digestion . It regulates your bowel movements, and flushes toxins from your body through urine and faeces. Only when this process is smooth and your gut is healthy, your skin will remain clear and free of issues.

1. Mint

Mint is a good digestive aid. Just boiling a few leaves in water, straining them and drinking the water after it cools down, can help your food get digested better. The less detox work your skin has to do, the better it will look.

2. Basil

Basil has anti-inflammatory properties that can prevent inflammation, making your skin look younger. The flavonoids present in basil also protect the skin from damage. Drink water infused with basil leaves for best results.

If you are diabetic or have a tendency to binge on the sweet stuff, drinking water infused with cinnamon sticks left overnight, can help stabilise fluctuating blood sugar levels, improve blood circulation and prevent pimples and zits.

6. Juice Cubes

Sugar is known to cause premature aging. If you like to drink pre-packaged juices, but want to cut down on the sugar, freeze a few cubes of your favorite fruit juice (home made) in an ice tray. Pour into your bottle of water so you get the fruity flavours without the excess sugar.
