What happens to your skin when you don’t drink enough water?

Have you ever wondered why it is necessary to consume enough water during the day? You must know that 70% of our body is made of water, but not all of it remains in it. Most of it disappears in processes such as urination, sweating, and even breathing. That is why, when you don't drink enough water, the functioning of the cells is affected, presenting dehydration, migraine, heartburn, and low blood pressure.

Did you know that the skin is the largest organ in our body?

When you don't hydrate your skin properly, there are warning signs such as itching, lack of shine, and dark circles. Believe it or not, dehydration has signs that are easy to mistake with dry skin. Therefore, it is important to identify and recognize each one:

Dry skin	Dehydrated skin
Skin cracking	Skin peeling
Dry texture and wrinkles	More noticeable fine lines and the appearance of dark circles
Lack of oiliness	Lack of water
Burning and itching	Acne
Redness	Loss of luminosity
Permanent stiffness	Lower elasticity and resistance

How to restore the loss of hydration?

Not everything is lost! Dehydration is a temporary skin condition and is caused by lack of water, poor skincare and external factors such as the weather. Therefore, the first step to regain the vitality and health of the skin is to know what it needs:

1. Drink water: Drink at least 8 glasses a day
2. Exercise: Minimum 20 minutes a day
3. Have a proper skincare routine: Apply cleansers, moisturizers, and serums that provide extra hydration.
4. Protect yourself: Don't forget to apply sunscreen "every day".
