Water is vital for life. It dissolves most solvents and cleanses the body of toxins from the inside out. A regular flushing of the body’s system with clean water leaves the skin feeling and looking younger and fresher.
So why do we find it so hard to make drinking a lot of water a habit? Is it because we don’t pay dearly enough for it and therefore don’t think much of its value?
Forget all the skin care tips, nothing will improve the quality of your skin better and inexpensively as water! Water moisturises your skin from the inside out.
Apart from waters benefit to your skin, studies have shown that (see American Journal of Epidemiology May 1st 2002 155(9):827-33.) people who drank more than five glasses of water a day were about 40% less likely to die from a heart attack that than those who drank less than two glasses a day.
And to keep it from getting boring, you can flavour your water with a dash of freshly squeezed lemon juice – the thing really is to keep drinking and make a habit of it!
This weekend, let’s make the most of water. After you’ve washed your face, give your skin a good steam.
You’ll need a bowl of hot water with a few drops of Lavender Oil. Lean over the bowl and cover your head with a towel. Do this for a few minutes and gently dab your face dry.
This helps to open up your pores and also hydrates your skin. Your skin is now ready for whatever nourishment you feed it with. Moisturise your skin as normal and then sit down and enjoy a tall glass of water – one of your eight for the day!
Have a lovely weekend.
