Hydration Tips from a Skin Care Specialist in Washington, DC

According to a skin care specialist in Washington, DC proper hydration can help to improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.  Hydrated skin is less likely to burn (but still always wear your sunscreen) and is less likely to breakout.  Here are a few tips to help you stay hydrated.

• Start the day with a large glass of water.  And yes, this should be before coffee.  Make a habit of having a glass of water when you wake up to rehydrate after the fast that occurs during sleep.
• Boost your water.  The water from the faucet has been processed and filtered.  We need to add back in salt and electrolytes that the water humans are designed to drink should contain.  Look for supplements to help make sure you’re getting the most benefits from your water.
• It may seem you like you can chug a few glasses and call it a success, but proper hydration is a practice.  It’s best to sip water consistently throughout the day.  Did you know it takes 14 days to become properly hydrated?  Aim to drink 8-10 oz an hour for 8-10 hours day.
