The fact is that water plays a large part in maintaining a healthy and youthful looking complexion. With an adequate supply of water the moisture levels of the skin’s cells are replenished and this in turn give the skin a smooth, moist and fresh appearance.
Ideally you should aim for around 6 to 8 glasses of water taken slowly throughout the day although you may need more if you live in an area where the climate is very hot.
Water helps to replace any lost fluids and encourages the kidneys to flush out accumulated bodily wastes and toxins.
