When it comes to beautiful skin, hydration is the key. Your body will give you many different warning signs that you are dehydrated and the ones involving your skin can be the most noticeable. Skin hydration shows up in a multitude of ways. Some you may be familiar with and some you may not.
Signs your skin is lacking hydration:
Dull or uneven skin tone
Dry and irritated skin that may be itchy or taut
Increased breakouts
Flaky, red or blotchy skin
Hydrating skin on the inside
Skin hydration can be affected by what you are putting in your body. Drinking enough water is the best way to improve your skin hydration. You should be drinking water continuously throughout the day, and if you find yourself feeling thirsty, you are already getting dehydrated. For your skin to retain moisture your body needs plenty of water.
Your skin is often the first thing to show when you aren’t eating right. Your body needs 1.5 to 2 liters of water a day along with various nutrients. When you aren’t eating the things your skin needs to look it’s best, it shows. Skin hydration levels will vary from day to day if you are not consistent in your diet.
Do you love avocado? Not only it is great for you because it is loaded with healthy fats, but it also helps with your skin hydration. Add it to your diet for a bit of a boost. If you aren’t a big fan of avocado, almost any fruit will do. Fresh fruit contains many vitamins and minerals that are great for your skin’s moisture levels.
