Does drinking eight glasses of water a day keep my skin moist?
Answer: No. Despite years of having this drummed into our heads, this is not true. It is good to keep your body, including your skin hydrated, however the outermost layer of skin does not absorb water since it is made up of dead skin cells. The moisture level of the skin is affected by external factors, such as cold or hot air, dry heat and by the number of oil-producing glands you have. The aging process is another factor. So, if you want to hydrate your skin, exfoliate it weekly with a sugar scrub or other exfoliator to remove dead skin then apply a rich moisturizer while your skin is still damp.
Want to hydrate your insides, by all means drink your eight glasses of water a day.
