The Importance of Hydrating your Skin

Many of us underestimate the power of hydration and the benefit it has on our skin. Developing a regular routine—preferably one with daily moisturizing, regular intake of water, and weekly hydrating facials—can help restore and refresh skin to get the beautiful, healthy complexion we all strive for.

Whether you’re struggling with acne or dry, dull skin, here’s how treating your skin with extra hydration can help you achieve a healthy, radiant glow.

Boost Elasticity

Hydration helps to boost your skin’s elasticity, which can help you maintain a beautiful, youthful complexion. Essentially, the more elastic your skin is, the less prone it is to sagging, fine lines, and wrinkles. 

In addition, as we age, our skin naturally slows its collagen production, which is one of the primary contributors to the skin’s elasticity. Since collagen is composed of water, it’s essential to stay hydrated each day. 

Along with drinking plenty of water, make sure to complement your skincare ritual with hydrating moisturizers and collagen-infused face masks to support elasticity and replenish your skin.

Reduce Oil Production

Applying a moisturizing product onto skin that’s already well-oiled may seem counter-intuitive. However, insufficient hydration could be exactly what is triggering your extra oil production. 

When skin becomes dried out from overwashing, harsh products, and environmental pollutants, your body will often produce excess oil to compensate. Drinking more water and adding moisturizing skincare products can help your body regulate its oil production and regain a normal balance.

Flush Toxins

We expose our bodies to many toxins each day—and water is key to flushing them out. It’s important to do this because those toxins can contribute to your body’s production of free radicals and the symptoms of premature aging they’re associated with.

Fortunately, your body has a natural cleansing system. Water is an integral component of it, so staying hydrated can help you keep your skin looking its best. For deeper cleansing, consider adding a detox face mask to your weekly beauty routine as well.  

Improve Skin Tone

When you drink water, your body transports that hydration through the blood to various organs in your body—and as the body’s largest organ, the skin also gets hydrated! This helps to flush out impurities at the cellular level. Research shows that drinking just two cups of water can increase blood flow to the skin, which gives it a more even tone.

Cleansing your body of these impurities through increased water intake can help to rehydrate and refresh dry, dull skin, leaving you with improved skin tone and a radiant glow.
