Always drink enough: The secret to youthful skin

One key to plump, youthful skin lies in something as simple as water. Did you know that hyaluronic acid, found in the connective tissue of your skin, can store water up to 6,000 times its own weight? This stored water only slowly escapes through the skin – a natural moisturizing process that you can support by drinking enough.

Why drinking enough is so important

If you drink water regularly, you replenish the water reserves in your skin and promote its firmness, freshness, and elasticity. The recommended amount of water you should drink is two to two and a half liters per day – if you're physically active, you can drink up to one liter more. But be careful: Too much water can be detrimental to your health. As with everything, the following applies here: The right balance is crucial.

What and how you should drink

Of course, you don’t have to limit yourself to pure water. Juice spritzers, coffee or unsweetened teas contribute to hydration. But be careful with dehydrating teas like nettle tea – they shouldn't be consumed too frequently. You should also avoid soft drinks and alcohol as much as possible, as they can stress the skin and deplete its natural moisture.

Conclusion: Give your skin what it needs

Regular hydration supports your skin's natural moisture balance and makes it appear plump and youthful. Remember: Water is not only essential for life, but also a real beauty enhancer. Treat yourself to the right amount every day and enjoy the feeling of doing something good for your skin – for a radiant and fresh appearance, day after day.
