Dehydration

Perfect skin requires water.

Dehydration slows your metabolic rate.
Skin functions slow down.
Skin cell turnover rate decreases.
Sebum production decreases.
Healing rate of breakouts decreases.
Waste products from within the skin can't be flushed efficiently.
Normal elimination slows down and toxins buld up in the large intestine and colon.
A person who is overweight has a lower percentage of water in their body.
The increase in bodyfat that comes with being overweight reduces the amount of hydration in the body.
People who are overweight are constantly dehydrated, making it harder to lose excess pounds.
Swelling of the face can also be caused by inadequate water consumption.
Drink half your body weight in ounces each day.
Example: 200 lbs. drink 100 oz. or 12.5 glasses of water daily.
