I have plenty of beauty tips to share with you, but the first is the most basic and most important. You NEED adequate water consumption in your life if you want anything else you do to work. Those lotions and eye creams that hydrate? Nope. They won’t be of any value without first hydrating from within.
The Institute of Medicine recommends men drink at least 101 ounces (13 – 8oz cups) of water a day. And for women, at least 74 ounces (9 – 8 oz cups) of water a day. That’s a lot of water! And if you are active, it’s good to add more.
Start your day with a glass or two of water, to get you going and on your way to reaching your water goals. Yes, BEFORE the coffee (which is a diuretic – something that pulls water from your body).
If your skin is quite dry and itchy…
If you feel bloated and swollen…
If you feel fatigued…
If your head is pounding…
It’s all likely due to not drinking enough water. So prioritize your health, and bring back some life to your body. Drink water mama! You got this!
