¢ Skin Care Tips

Can drinking water keep skin moist?

No matter how many glasses of water you drink in a day, your skin CANNOT be kept moist just by drinking alone. Drinking water is good for general health but it does not keep your skin moist. 

Dry skin is the result of constant sun exposure and extremes of heat, cold and wind which dry out the outer barrier layer of the skin.

Dry skin can also be caused by one of two things: an insufficient amount of sebum, the body’s natural oil making it to the skin, or an over-accumulation of dead skin cells due to slowing skin regenerative capabilities.

Moreover, your skin can get dry if you take too long to shower or soak in a bathtub, especially if you bathe using hot water.

To keep your skin moist and supple, follow these simple tips:

Reduce water temperature when you bathe.

Use a humidifier in your bedroom during dry months.

Exfoliate skin to get rid of dry skin cells by applying an alpha-hydroxy acid such as Godiva Fruit Acid Revitalizing Complex.

Apply a moisturizer daily to hold water in the top layers of the skin. Use Godiva Licorice Whitening Cream or Godiva Face and Neck Firming Cream to moisturize skin, keeping it firm, supple and smooth.
