There’s a lot of arguing in my comments about whether water hydrates the skin (lol), so let me explain what I actually meant. (This is kind of long, so read if you actually want to understand what I meant.) When I say ‘skin,’ I’m obviously talking about the outer layer, the part we can see and touch. Who’s talking about the inner layers when they say ‘skin,’ like c’mon guys…
Anyway, the outer layer of the skin (epidermis) is made of dead skin cells, so it doesn’t absorb water from inside the body when you drink it. Water you drink is absorbed into your bloodstream and used by your organs first. The inner layer of your skin (dermis) does hold most of your skin’s water because it contains blood vessels and collagen, which help retain moisture. But here’s the thing, the epidermis has no blood supply. It’s completely cut off from your internal hydration system. The water in the dermis stays there to support deeper skin functions, but it doesn’t travel upward to hydrate the epidermis because there’s no direct water pathway between them.
What actually hydrates the outer layer of your skin is moisture from the environment or topical products like moisturizers that help trap water and prevent it from evaporating. That’s why if your skin is dry, just drinking more water won’t magically fix it. You need something external to keep that outer layer hydrated.
Drinking water is still great for your overall health and helps keep your body functioning properly, but it doesn’t directly hydrate the epidermis. Hope that clears it up!💖💖
Actually, washing my face with cold water helps me a lot, and not explode/touch pimples helps a lot. You’ll end up growing them more anywhere from your body. I used to do that before, but not anymore. Ps. I ended up popping pimples, and other days late, it grew another somewhere else in the body, like from my back, for example… pimples hate cold water, believe it or not cause hot or even warm water will take forever to go away. 😅
