Hydration and Skin Health
Water is important for many important functions in the body, and also for skin health. Ideally, you should always try to keep the skin from being dehydrated. When skin cells do not get enough water, they may become cracked and dry gradually, leading to certain issues. Therefore, it is important to get enough water. The recommended daily intake of fluids can vary, depending on certain factors, such as gender, age, physical activities, and health condition. Generally, the intake should be anywhere between 1.5 and 2.5 or 3 liters per day. Avoid caffeinated drinks and alcohol, as they may actually cause the body to lose more water. Instead, go for plain water, herbal teas, juices, soups, or mineral water. [8]
