Water is very important to our skin. Without moisture, it becomes limp and loses its shine. How to optimally supply your skin with water:
Drink enough
Our body consists of almost 70 percent water. Every day, every person loses around 2.5 liters of fluid . Of course it has to be brought back. This happens by drinking enough. But we also absorb fluid through our food. That accounts for around 20 percent of the fluid balance.
A healthy person is thirsty and starts to drink. That's a normal signal from the body. Whenever we are thirsty, we should drink as well. If you feel a little thirsty, you should be careful to drink about 2 liters per day . However, the fluid requirement is individual for each individual.
Get your metabolism going with water
You do not feel fit and are often tired? Your metabolism is not really getting going, and are there any signs that your body is not feeling well? Then a Japanese water cure could be just the thing for you .
In the morning you drink about 0.6 liters of lukewarm water. Afterwards you wait about 45 minutes with the breakfast. Even after the remaining meals you should wait about two hours until you eat something again.
This type of water cure stimulates the metabolism and helps to improve stomach problems or high blood pressure. And for the skin, the Japanese water course is also good.
Sparkling water for the skin
If you want to give your skin a special care experience, you can try a face bath in sparkling water . Just fill a bowl with bubbling water and immerse the face. The carbon dioxide is said to revive the skin and stimulate the circulation. Carbonic acid acts as a vasodilator and thus provides a rosy shine on the face. In addition, the cells are stimulated and the skin is tightened.
