Before we get to that, how much water does a person need each day? Research from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia found no studies to back up the recommendation of eight glasses a day. Prevent dehydration—and dryness—by drinking when you’re thirsty. Aim for 6 cups a day.

Now can water help your skin?  The benefit of drinking water in large amounts for proper skin health is a controversial area. Many believe and have stated that water is very beneficial for proper skin care. The main stated benefit is that drinking a large quantity of water keeps the skin hydrated and prevents dry skin. Claims are also made that drinking water gives the skin a radiant, healthy, younger looking complexion with no wrinkles, and allows skin to maintain its elasticity and suppleness.

However, many experts are now refuting the above-mentioned benefits. Unless the individual is severely dehydrated, drinking large quantities of water will not prevent dry skin. Basically the moisture level of skin is not determined by internal factors. Instead, it is external factors such as skin cleansing , the environment, the number of oil glands, and the functioning of these oil-producing glands that determines how dry the skin is or will become. The water that is consumed internally will not reach the skin, water moves through the body system rather quickly. If the skin is dry, the best solution is to treat the skin from the outside is with a dry skin lotion like  Mary Kay moisturizer       

Is there any real benefit of drinking water for skin health? Actually, although combating dry skin is not a benefit of drinking water, there are some other potential benefits.

As mentioned, drinking water in adequate amounts is necessary to flush out toxins out of the body via the excretory system. With inadequate amounts of water flowing through the body, these toxins can build up in the body and escape through skin pores. This contributes to acne  (If acne does breakout, use the link to the  left to treat it).  Therefore, by flushing the body internally with water, acne breakouts are less likely to occur due to toxin release through the skin.

Another benefit of drinking water in large amounts for the skin is in the treatment of skin disorders such as eczema and psoriasis. In addition, proper hydration and certain products like MaryKay Indulge Smoothing Eye Cream  will help to eliminate sunken eyes and circles under the eyes.

At night an additional oil free moisturizer should be applied to your face, to help restore and heal any damage your skin has incurred throughout the day. 

Step 4:
Apply a face moisturizing lotion  twice a day to keep your skin from drying out.
