H2O for Skin .... Myth

LEADING SKINCARE MYTHS MYTH: I need to drink at least eight glasses of water a day for my skin. FACT: The outside humidity, not how much water you consume, determines how dry you are. Contrary to a popular myth perpetuated by bottled water companies, downing excessive fluids is not the best way to keep skin from drying out. In fact, by overhydrating, you will flush essential vitamins and electrolytes out of your bloodstream. You need only ninety-one ounces of fluids a day, which you can easily obtain from both food and beverages. Trust your body’s natural signal: thirst. Only severe dehydration will cause your skin to dry out.
