  1. There’s a lot of arguing in my comments about whether water hydrates the skin (lol), so let me explain what I actually meant. (This is kind of long, so read if you actually want to understand what I meant.) When I say ‘skin,’ I’m obviously talking about the outer layer, the part we can see and touch. Who’s talking about the inner layers when they say ‘skin,’ like c’mon guys…

    Anyway, the outer layer of the skin (epidermis) is made of dead skin cells, so it doesn’t absorb water from inside the body when you drink it. Water you drink is absorbed into your bloodstream and used by your organs first. The inner layer of your skin (dermis) does hold most of your skin’s water because it contains blood vessels and collagen, which help retain moisture. But here’s the thing, the epidermis has no blood supply. It’s completely cut off from your internal hydration system. The water in the dermis stays there to support deeper skin functions, but it doesn’t travel upward to hydrate the epidermis because there’s no direct water pathway between them.

    What actually hydrates the outer layer of your skin is moisture from the environment or topical products like moisturizers that help trap water and prevent it from evaporating. That’s why if your skin is dry, just drinking more water won’t magically fix it. You need something external to keep that outer layer hydrated.

    Drinking water is still great for your overall health and helps keep your body functioning properly, but it doesn’t directly hydrate the epidermis. Hope that clears it up!💖💖

  2. number 5 IS SO RIGHT
    i have eczema and im currently going through an episode fighting it off and scrubbing is a big no no. i literally PAT it😭
    scrubbing it with leave (from my experience)
    red skin
    scars/ scrathes
    damaged skin
    skin pealing everywhere
    spots everywhere
    bleeding

  3. Water totally improves your skin. Think about it in the early days skincare did not exist. Water was what they had and what they used and it seemed to work fine. Acne and skin problems showed up after skincare became a trend.
