You may have heard this a million times that drinking water can get you a beautiful skin, but despite that, never tried it. However, with each passing day, more and more people are experimenting with water therapy and benefiting from the extra usage of this ‘universal solvent’.? It’s a known fact that water can do wonders for your health, figure, hair and skin and millions of people around the world swear by the good effects of gulping down liters of water everyday. Considering the fact that 70 % of the body is made of water, the dependency of every system on water is high. Despite the fact that people are aware of this, they still prefer slurping on coffee, tea, soda, alcohol and shakes. None of this can have the same purifying and dehydrating effect as compared to that of pure, cool water. Water is also said to be the best ‘treat’ that you can give your skin. This is due to the following reason:

Hydrates- Pure water is the best way to hydrate your body. Consuming water on an hourly basis helps to ensure that the body is not at a risk of dehydration, which can occur as a result of hot temperature, sweating and humidity.

Detoxifies- water is the most effective detoxifying agent. Since it is the ‘universal solvent’, most of the impurities and toxins in the body can get dissolved in the water and be thrown out through sweat, breath, urine and stool. This ensures that the toxicity level in the body is under control and also helps to boost the immunity.

Cures acne- if you have repeatedly heard advices of drinking more water when you are suffering from acne, take it more seriously. This is because, as mentioned above, it decreases the toxicity level in the body, helps to build the immune system and gets rid of the waste products which in turn help to treat pimples and acne.

The above benefits help to keep your skin hydrated, acne free and even toned. It is important to note that people should not expect ‘magic’ and assume that the effects will be visible within a day. It may take a few weeks, but the effects will certainly be there. However, some people complain that they are not able to ‘remember’ to drink extra water. For such people, it is best to carry a bottle of water in the bag. Also while sitting down at home also, either in front of the television or with a laptop, keep a bottle of water handy and sip on as and when you feel like. No matter what the commercials say, the cheapest and the most effective way to a beautiful skin is water, so the next time you feel like having a soda, open your water bottle and sip away.
