Drinking enough water improves the “washing out” of harmful substances from the body that come from outside and are formed inside the body.

Water is a colorless and odorless liquid. But what would a person do without it? Many women avoid drinking clean water
, preferring drinks with a distinct taste, smell and color, such as sweet carbonated drinks (diet cola), coffee and caffeinated drinks and juices. Although juices contain a large percentage of water, they cannot do for the female body everything that pure water can. The same can be said about coffee and soda.
Here are just some of the aspects in which water plays a vital role for a woman’s beauty:

Water for beautiful skin and hair
Hi all! The topic of today's post is water! We will not talk about the benefits of water for the general condition of the body (only the lazy did not talk about this), but about the importance of water for our beauty (skin, hair and nails). If we don’t drink enough water, NO cosmetics, even the most expensive and natural ones, will help us, it’s simply physically impossible. Today I’ll tell you why it’s important to drink water to be beautiful, and we’ll also calculate how much water you need per day and how to drink it correctly. Let's begin! So: 1) Hair. Probably, almost all girls are concerned about the problem of dry split ends (the same happened to me). In fact, our body is a very smart machine, designed for survival, and it very intelligently distributes all the water that you drink. If it is not enough, the body directs the entire water resource to support vital systems. He does not consider hair (as well as skin) as such, accordingly, they will suffer first. And no amount of shampoos and ointments will fundamentally solve the problem; they can only give a one-time effect. The same applies to our nails. 2) Leather. There are two important points here. The first is, of course, the internal water balance of skin cells. Without maintaining water balance, there can be no talk of beautiful skin. Many people buy expensive care to moisturize dry skin, although the solution to the problem often lies on the surface and is associated with simple dehydration. The skin must be moisturized FROM THE INSIDE! The second point is that a dehydrated body cannot fully cope with the removal of toxins from the body. As a result, they enter the bloodstream and we see their manifestations on our face in the form of acne, sagging skin and dull complexion (this also includes cellulitis, which also occurs due to stagnant processes in the cells and intercellular space). The benefits of water for our beauty are enormous. Drink more water, don’t force your body to save it (it’s like washing dishes in the same dirty water). The amount of water you need per day (namely clean water, juices, teas, coffees and soup - that doesn’t count!) is approximately 35 ml for each kg of weight (weight x 0.035). That is, if you weigh 50 kg, you need to drink at least 1.75 liters of water per day. In the summer and during intense exercise, add another 500-700 ml. This is the minimum amount required for the normal functioning of all body systems. If we drink less, beauty (skin and hair) suffers first, that is, signs of dehydration will be obvious. You need to drink clean water, not cold (best at room temperature or lukewarm). If possible, filter tap water or buy water in glass, because plastic greatly disrupts the structure of water and can release toxic substances. It’s the same story with boiled water - boiling kills the “living” structure of water, and chlorine, when boiled, can form very unpleasant and persistent compounds. Therefore, never boil water until it boils strongly, bubbles appearing on top is enough. HOW to drink correctly: 1) Develop the habit of drinking a glass (or preferably two) of pure water without additives in the morning on an empty stomach. During the night, we lose up to 800 ml of water along with our breathing. 2) Drink in small sips, not in one gulp. 3) Drink a glass of water 15-20 minutes before each meal. 4) You should not drink more than a glass of water at night, otherwise you can cause swelling (if you are prone to it) 5) There are many applications for smartphones that keep track of the liquid you drink and remind you to drink water during the day - very convenient, once every couple of hours The phone beeps and you don’t forget to drink. Let's drink, girls and boys!
Water for health and beauty...
Let's turn to the greats... The English philosopher Thomas Hobbes argued that Beauty is the promise of happiness
. And, we, representatives of the fairer sex, always strive to achieve this very beauty and the happiness that accompanies it. Every time we look in the mirror, we want to see a cheerful, fresh, beautiful and completely happy girl in the reflection. Would you say this is impossible? The secret of beauty is simple. This is water.
Water is one of the simplest and at the same time the most complex substances on the planet that can make us beautiful. It is the strangest and most unruly substance in the world. Of course, at first glance, it is a simple chemical compound of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. But, without any exaggeration, water is the basis of life on Earth. This is why scientists, in their search for life forms on other planets, focus so much effort on detecting traces of water.
Now no one is surprised by the fact that plants are 90% water, and humans are 60-65% (the ratio is approximately the same as that of land and water - the ocean occupies up to 70% of the surface of our planet). A certain and constant water content is a necessary condition for the existence of a living organism. If you want, water is akin to blood flowing through all vessels, large and small, bringing life, unfading youth, health and, of course, beauty.
Endless battles and the latest data on the required amount of fluid consumed per day can lead us to only one conclusion - you MUST drink water. And the more, the better.
Normal water balance ensures the normal appearance of the skin. If this balance is disturbed, the skin lets you know. Hence the expression “Drink to your health!”
After all, water has a huge list of “responsibilities” in our body: to ensure the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to all cells of the body, to help absorb nutrients, to remove toxins, and so on. And only our appearance and skin will tell whether we are up to this task. For example, our face. Experiencing environmental influences and stress almost every minute, we forget that the skin on the face is the only vulnerable area of the body that is almost never covered with anything. Well, unless, of course, you wear a burqa...
A lot of factors influencing the appearance and complexion lead to, frankly, slight confusion. Numerous realities of our urban life, cold wind in winter and scorching sun during a long-awaited vacation, an invigorating cup of strong coffee in the morning and our favorite make-up.
It is well known how important it is to hydrate your skin. After all, we all want to be beautiful and have smooth and velvety skin. You can leave the situation alone and achieve excellent results without radical methods.
While we are young, our skin contains a sufficient amount of substances that can bind water. With age, less and less of these substances are synthesized, the skin gradually loses its ability to retain water, loses elasticity, and becomes covered with wrinkles. To slow down this process, it is necessary to compensate for the loss of moisture. This can only be achieved by using moisturizing creams (hydratant creams).
Here is one of the most common methods of moisturizing facial skin and its scientific basis. Water is contained in small fat droplets, covered on the outside with a film of fat and protein, and these droplets, in turn, make up the face cream.
Once on the skin, these droplets of water, covered with fat, penetrate inside, under the skin, where over time the film is destroyed, and the water begins to moisturize special collagen proteins, which are very similar to gelatin. When in contact with water, collagens increase in volume by 3-5 times! Swollen collagen molecules from the inside press on the skin, stretching it and smoothing out all wrinkles.
It is equally necessary to nourish collagens with water both from the outside, by applying cream to the face, and from the inside, by drinking a certain amount of water daily. Then water will constantly flow to the collagens, and they will ensure the health and youth of your skin.
Do you agree...? Now imagine how many positive emotions and what a sense of self-confidence arise from the mere thought that you are beautiful. Remember your feelings when you realize this fact without a shadow of a doubt, for example, after a vacation or after visiting a hairdresser or cosmetologist.
By making a lot of efforts to maintain the beauty that nature has given us, we are moving in the right direction. And the most important indicator of our beauty is healthy, firm, smooth and elastic skin. After all, the natural radiant appearance of our skin will be a direct confirmation of the wasted effort and time. And now you are showing off in front of the mirror, contentedly turning your face this way and that, and confidently start each day. We need water and our task is to understand the basic principles of the philosophy of hydration.
In order to be firmly confident that your skin receives the required amount of moisture, make sure that you have at least two treasured jars in your cosmetic bag:
1. Moisturizing face cream 2. And, last but not least, eye care product
Each of the products, developed in accordance with the different structure of the skin of the face and eyelids, must perform its functions. We recommend. Intensive moisturizing cream-gel ALL DAY AQUA from NIVEA Visage
, which gives the skin a feeling of freshness throughout the day. The light texture of the cream-gel provides the skin with intense and long-lasting hydration for 24 hours, while simultaneously refreshing it. Valuable minerals in the cream-gel strengthen the skin and help it absorb and retain natural moisture. The intense and long-lasting action of the ALL DAY AQUA cream-gel will ensure that the skin maintains a protective moisturizing barrier, and the combination of UVA/UVB and Vitamin E filters will protect it from the harmful effects of the environment.
When applying any product to the skin around the eyes, in order to avoid intense exposure, it is recommended to gently massage the skin around the eyes with your fingertips in a circular motion, thus ensuring maximum penetration of the cream into the skin. Introduced? Great. Now take the NIVEA Visage eye contour cream
, containing cucumber extract, ginseng and reflective pigments. Thanks to this excellent composition, this cream cools, soothes and relaxes the sensitive area around the eyes and, of course, reduces dark circles and bags under the eyes - the main signs of fatigue. It is enough to gently apply the cream to the skin around the eyes every day after cleansing your eyes - and your eyes are guaranteed a well-deserved rest and a healthy appearance. NIVEA Visage Eye Contour Cream has been ophthalmologically tested, does not contain fragrances or dyes, and is therefore suitable even when wearing contact lenses.
Proper and regular facial care, including moisturizing, will prolong youth and preserve the natural beauty of your skin, and its healthy appearance will not take long to arrive!
*advice from NIVEA Visage
Along with using ALL DAY AQUA cream-gel and eye contour cream, wipe your skin with an ice cube daily and do not wipe off the melt water. You will notice that the skin becomes not only smooth, but also elastic. And do you know why? The ability of collagens to smooth the skin at the temperature of melting ice (+4 degrees) becomes even stronger, and the results of NIVEA Visage creams last even longer.
