DRINK LOTS OF WATER FOR BEAUTIFUL SKIN:
A RADIANT SKIN, EVERY DAY
Drinking well - is that possible? Definitely! Admittedly, drinking a lot for beautiful skin is not a new or innovative beauty tip, but it can work wonders. Just drinking half a liter of water promotes blood circulation in your skin and activates its cell metabolism. If your body lacks fluid, the water in the skin cells also decreases. The result: rough, flaky and cracked skin. But don't worry, with simple tricks you too can manage to keep your fluid balance in balance and give your skin a beauty boost from the inside out.
DRINK A LOT FOR BEAUTIFUL SKIN: THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DRINK ENOUGH WATER
For beautiful skin, it is important to supply it from within. After all, the human body is made up of almost 70 percent water. After oxygen, water is the second most important substance that your body needs to live. By drinking water, you absorb ingredients that have a positive effect on your health and the appearance of your skin. Water contains, among other things, sodium, an ingredient that ensures that the fluid is stored in the cells of your skin. This maintains the tension in the skin tissue and ensures a smooth and healthy complexion. Drinking lots of water for beautiful skin is no longer a myth, which is why you should drink the recommended amount of 2 liters every day. Below we will tell you what advantages your skin can benefit from if you drink enough water every day.
REDUCES DRY AREAS
By drinking at least 2 liters of water every day, you support your skin's moisture retention. This not only has a positive effect on the overall appearance of your skin, but also helps your skin to effectively reduce dry, rough and tight areas.
REDUCES IMPURITIES
Drinking water helps your body to detoxify naturally. Harmful substances that are stored in your body as toxins, for example due to an unhealthy diet, can be flushed out of your body by drinking enough fluids. This effectively minimizes skin impurities and refines your pores.
PROVIDES A FRESH GLOW
Drinking lots of water not only makes for beautiful skin, but also a fresh glow! The fluid intake improves blood flow to your skin and supplies it with more oxygen. Water is therefore an absolute skin booster for a natural glow.
MINIMIZES WRINKLES
Thanks to the improved blood circulation and oxygen supply to your skin, even small wrinkles can be visibly minimized. The water supply stimulates your skin's collagen production and at the same time replenishes its hyaluronic acid reserves. This means that your skin appears plumper and firmer. Drinking a lot ensures beautiful and rejuvenated skin.

DRINKS FOR BEAUTIFUL RADIANT SKIN
Drinking a lot for beautiful skin pays off: If you drink 2 to 3 liters of liquid every day, you will plump up your skin from the inside and get a natural glow. If you are looking for healthy alternatives that promote your skin health, we have just the right thing for you. Discover the following five beauty drinks that will effectively help you make your skin glow.
Drink 1: INFUSED WATER
Drinking lots of water for beautiful skin quickly becomes boring. But before you reach for a sugary lemonade or iced tea, try this low-calorie taste miracle: infused water. Still or mineral water is flavored with fruit, vegetables or herbs. Infused water is not only very trendy, it also offers you an exciting change for a healthy fluid balance.
Drink 2: TEA
Many teas are particularly rich in vitamin B and antioxidants, making them an ideal alternative to normal water. Tea varieties such as matcha tea, jasmine tea, mate tea and kombucha, as well as herbs such as chamomile, sage, lavender and lemon balm, support healthy and radiant skin.
Drink 3: BUTTERMILK
Dairy products have a reputation for being bad for your skin, but this one isn't: buttermilk. Thanks to its high calcium, vitamin B12 and protein content, it's a real beauty booster. The protein compounds strengthen the structure of your skin and help you achieve an all-round healthy and vitalized complexion.
Drink 4: COCONUT WATER
This drink is good for your body and at the same time ensures more beautiful skin. Coconut water is rich in antioxidants such as vitamin C and E, which ensure a firm and radiant complexion. The beauty drink also contains zinc and selenium, which are responsible for a balanced mineral complex and provide your skin with optimal moisture.
Drink 5: APPLE CIDER VINEGAR
Apple cider vinegar cleanses from the inside and nourishes your skin from within. Your skin's natural acid mantle has a pH value of around 5.5 and is therefore slightly acidic. Over-care of the skin or overly aggressive treatments dry out this protective mantle. Apple cider vinegar helps your skin to keep its natural pH value in balance and protects you from dry, brittle skin.
Tip: Take 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar and dissolve it in 200 ml of water. It is best to drink this skin booster first thing in the morning.
4 TIPS FOR EVERYDAY LIFE
You can't manage to drink 2 to 3 liters of water every day? Below we'll tell you how to make drinking water a natural habit and which tips will help you drink the recommended amount of water in your everyday life.
TIP 1: START YOUR DAY WITH A GLASS OF WATER
Your body loses water during the night. To replenish your fluid levels and get your body going, you should start your day with a glass of water. Put a bottle of water and a glass on your bedside table so that you are reminded to drink fluids when you wake up in the morning.
TIP 2: USE AN APP AS A REMINDER
Not everyone finds it easy to drink the recommended amount of water of 2 liters a day. Use reminders such as a smartphone app that regularly reminds you to drink fluids. Here you can, for example, set a daily goal or hourly reminders.
TIP 3: ALWAYS KEEP WATER AT HAND
Your water should always be visible and within easy reach. Whether at home, in the office or on the go - always keep an eye on your water to make positive changes to your drinking habits.
TIP 4: DRINK WATER BEFORE SLEEPING
Adequate fluid intake is extremely important for a good and restful sleep. That's why you should end your day with a glass of water before going to bed. If you have a water bottle ready to hand by your bed, as recommended in the first tip, you will be well prepared in case you are thirsty at night.
