Hey All…..
Today, I am gonna talk about how to get a beautiful skin and hair by drinking right amount of water. Drinking water is very important for our body. It, not only, effects our body functioning, but also, how we look. I know I sound like a tape recorder. But, you would be surprised to know that lot of people know this fact, but do not take the pains to follow it. Even, I get lazy many times to get up and refill the bottle.
Have you ever noticed your skin is dull when you have not had water the whole day or even for some hours. Yes, not drinking water, even for some hours, affects our body functions adversely. Our body is made 70% of water and the cells need water for every reaction they want to carry on. Thus, water is an essential ingredient. Try to increase your intake by one glass every day. It would help you look good, your hair would be healthy and your eyes will be bright. The water will eliminate all the toxins from your body.
You can determine whether you are drinking enough water by the color of your urine. If it is dark yellow, you really need to perk on your system with water. You are drinking enough water when it is colorless. Still, no harm in increasing the quantity. Much of the water is lost through evaporation from the pores. So, do not worry about your numerous trips to the loo. They would be pretty less in summer. But, in winter, you have to bear the brunt of going to the loo a lot of times, if you really want your skin to look good. Because, the air in winter is dry and it takes moisture from your skin. Hence, the skin dries up and becomes dull.
Not only skin, but even, our hair is made up 5% of water and 95% protein. So, to keep hair in a beautiful condition, you need to drink lots and lots of water. It will keep your hair alive and bouncy. Not only that, water stimulates hair growth. If you are facing hair loss, try adjusting the levels of water in your body and you may experience a miracle.
Want to lose weight? Drink water. Yes, its true. It dissolves much of the fat of the body and eliminates it in form of toxins. If you do not like the bland taste of water, you can go for coconut water or fill your bottle with green tea. They both are equally good for your skin, hair and weight.
Lot of talk. Now, coming to the practical stuff, do not ever wait to feel thirsty. Drink water every half hour according to your limit.This will ensure your needs are satisfied. Now, I wanted to talk about situations when we really need to look good but can not drink water. It may be due to lack of water or lack of loos. Yes, people refrain from drinking water because there are no washrooms in the immediate vicinity. It happens to people who work all day on the fields. Not the farms or any crop field, but, I meant about those who do the ground work in their areas or during long travels in buses. For those days, you can carry a large spray bottle filled with floral water, lemon water or green tea and spray the water on your face in regular intervals. The floral water, lemon water or green tea rejuvenates your skin and will not spoil your make up too.
You might be thinking that I did not advise you to use wipes. They are more portable. Yes, they are designed for travel. But, they are extremely drying for the skin. Alcohol is used as a preservative in them. And, they leave a film on the skin which is pretty sticky. And, beware it does not suit every one. So, use spraying water as an alternative.
A tip: Mix moisturizer with 2-3 drops of filtered water and then, apply it on the face. Doing this would retain water content in the skin. And, keep it supple all day long.
Feed lots and lots of water in every way you can to your body.
Thank you
what is the ratio to make the lemon water and how to make green tea water is it the same process like making tea or should we add more water to it.
thanks a lot for yor practical tips they are really very helpful
hi Sri…regarding green tea, I had done a post:
http://perfectskincareforyou.blogspot.com/2011/07/how-to-make-green-tea-diy.html
actually, I never make things in a measured way. I rather take approximations and make do. For lemon water, you can take one lemon rind and boil it in 1/2 litre water till the water becomes 1/4th of the original quantity. That would give a concentrated solution. Similarly, you can put more lemon rinds in 1 litre water and boil till it remains about 250ml or something. And, then use it. Anyways, if you make it more in quantity, it would go bad after a few days so better to make in small quantities only. hope this helps 🙂
And, to make green tea,I prefer to reuse the tea leaves. After making the tea, I use the left over tea leaves and pour boiling water over it and let it stay over night or for half a day and then, use it to wash my face or as a toner or even include in the bath water. This way, I am able to drink the tea and not waste the tea leaves also. They do have a lot of strength left in them for second round 🙂

you should also take balanced diet. merely drinking water is not going to help. it is just one of the aspects. hope this helps 🙂
I am 60years old and I have a lot of wrinkles around ,y mouth. I quit somking
One ye
sorry but for 60 years, wrinkles are generally unavoidable. you can use sunscreen regularly in the morning and face oils at night and see if it really improves.
