Beauty Secrets Don't Only Hide In A Bottle--They Can Also Be Found In Our Refrigerator!
Thanks to technological advances, experts in dermatology have
been able to observe the effect that our diet has on our skin's
texture and appearance.
Many recent studies in dermatology confirm that the most
significant factor in skincare does not only depend on the
cosmetics that we apply (which, of course, do make a difference)
but also largely on our diet.
So...which diet should we implement to look great?
WATER Our body is 70 percent water; therefore, it's logical that
any lack of sufficient water intake will affect our appearance.
That's why drinking water is undoubtedly the easiest and most
efficient way of preventing the signs of aging, maintaining the
skin smooth and the body healthy.
HOW DOES WATER AFFECT OUR SKIN? Water eliminates the toxins in
our body that are daily stored up through contact with
pollutants, tobacco smoke, stress and other sources of free
radical formation. Concretely, free radicals are the principal
cause of skin diseases and premature aging.
Water not only gives skin a more youthful appearance but also
eliminates all of these elements, which cause the appearance of
acne. Acne is formed by the accumulation of bacteria, oil, dead
skin and dirt on the skin. Even for those with oily skin and
problems with acne, water is needed to wash away both internal
and external impurities.
Additionally, water helps vitamins and nutrients to easily flow
throughout the body. In particular, it collaborates with all of
the body's organs to distribute vitamins E, C and B12, which
help maintain the skin smooth and young.
HOW MUCH WATER DO I NEED TO DRINK DAILY? Normally it's
recommended that a person drink at least a liter and a half of
water, although many dermatologists recommend increasing the
dose to two or three daily liters.
WHEN IS IT ESSENTIAL TO DRINK WATER? It's very important to
drink and recuperate lost fluid after exercising or sunbathing.
Don't forget that water is good not only for your organism but
also for your outward appearance.
WATER INSIDE AND WATER OUTSIDE When cleansing facial skin or the
body, it's best that the water be lukewarm. Very hot water can
dry out the skin excessively, but at an adequate temperature,
its cleansing power is enormous.
BEAUTY TRICK Drink water in the morning; it will help eliminate
a puffy or swollen face.
Who would have thought that water would end up being one of the
most relevant beauty secrets in the new millennium?
