Drink water = Great skin (the small print)

Everybody out there is giving you this great tip - Drink plenty of water for beautifull skin. From the diet experts to shampoo commercials anywhere you turn there is a big, flashy arrow pointing to 2 litres a day, moisturize, hydrafantastatic. They are obviously right. Water is important. What we drink count as much as what we eat.
But it's a small print that you need to read. You don't have to drink 2 litres of water per day. You need to drink enough for your lifestyle, says dermatologist Dr Howard Murad in october issue of Glamour.
Get plenty of essential fatty acids to hold it in, he says, because It's the water you retain that matters.
Great sources of fatty acids are walnuts, fish, leafy veg and pumpkin seeds. As they are quite tasty as well we can easily inlude them in our diets.
Well hydrated skin reflects light as a mirror and equals healthy skin glow. To help your skin lights -up use gentle exfoliating, but be carefull with scrubs with scratchy ingredients like almond. Instead, for a daily care use a polisher that will smoothly brighten your skin and paired with skin-plumping moisturizer give you the celbrity glow.
