Will drinking water hydrate my skin?Updated a year ago
Skin dehydration and full-body dehydration are two different things. Your skin will get very dehydrated if you don’t drink enough fluids, so drinking more water will help if your entire body is dehydrated. On the other hand, if your body is hydrated but your skin is dehydrated, drinking more water won’t help.
There are many reasons for skin dehydration that have nothing to do with your body’s hydration levels. The most common one is disruption to the skin barrier, which makes it harder for the epidermis to hang on to moisture. The only way to fix that is by following the skin dehydration remedies we mentioned earlier, like using a moisturizer regularly or trying the “soak and seal” method.
Make combatting dehydration your #1 skin goal
Dehydration is a common skin issue for everyone, regardless of skin type. It’s also incredibly harmful to the skin. It can cause or worsen many other concerns, like sensitivity, breakouts, and wrinkles.
No matter your skin goals, adding in a few habits to address or prevent dehydration is key.
We created Water Lock for situations when dehydration is at its worst, with a complex blend of interlocking silicones that create total occlusion over the skin. This formula has a silky feel that makes it a pleasant choice regardless of your skin type. Even once you fix your skin dehydration, it’s a phenomenal moisturizer that’ll keep issues from recurring.
So that’s it, dear skintellectual friends - we hope we’ve inspired you to load up on water, from the inside and outside!
