Acne is a skin disease and begins with blocked hair
follicles. There are many over-the-counter products
designed to treat acne as well as prescription medications.
The emphasis on “natural” treatments today calls for a look
at some natural ways to treat acne. Water is the most
natural product that exists.

Water makes up at least two-thirds of your body. It is a
combination of hydrogen and oxygen and is the basis for all
the fluids in your body. If we didn’t have water, all of our
cells and organs would die within a few days. Water is
essential to our life.

Water hydrates your body, which in turn hydrates your skin
as well. Your skin is the largest organ of your body and
must be hydrated to work properly. Drinking plenty of water
will keep your skin looking and feeling healthy. Healthy skin
cells promote a healthy body. Acne is a disease that not
only attacks the top of skin but below the skin as well.

Most people would be considered to have mild dehydration
due to the lack of water that is consumed. Your immune
system is compromised by a lack of water. Acne thrives on
bacteria in your skin.

We get some water through the foods we eat. Yet the main
source of water comes from what we drink. Drinking coffee,
tea, or sodas with caffeine does not count as a source of
water. Caffeine is a diuretic, which takes water from your
body. If you drink a lot of caffeine beverages, drink extra
water.

We have all heard that we should drink 8 glasses of water a
day. So how much water should we truly drink? Take your
weight and divide it in half. That is how many ounces you
should drink. If you weigh 130 pounds, you should drink 65
ounces of water per day. That may sound like a lot of water,
but think about the health benefits your are providing for
your body.

Water flushes your body of many toxins that contaminate
your system. Acne is caused by blocked hair follicles.
When the oil glands over produce oil, the hair follicles can
not handle the overload. The hair follicles will get blocked
and acne will occur. Drinking plenty of water will help keep
your glands flushed and help keep the hair follicles cleared
Water is not stored in the outer layer of your skin, so it must
come from within. The outer layer of skin loses moisture
constantly. Moisture is retained in the deeper layers of your
skin. This provides you with a soft, smooth, and healthy
complexion.

Water is your first step toward a healthy looking
complexion. Use water as one source of defense against
acne. Without water, your skin could not do its job in
keeping the rest of your body in check.
