Hydration
I've heard the best thing you can do for your skin is to stay hydrated- is this true?  Do you notice a difference when you drink more water?  I don't drink as much water as I should, but I drink a lot of tea, and flavored water, like Aquafina Alive, which also has vitamins in it- are those as hydrating as regular water?

Re: Hydration
I definitely notice my skin is clearer when I drink a lot of water.  You don't need to get all of your water from plain water though...the things that you are drinking are fine, as long as they don't have caffeine in them (caffeine is a diuretic, so it can de-hydrate you).

Re: Hydration

One of my favorite drinks that isn't just plain water is to mix club soda with some type of all natural fruit juice.  It satisfies a soda craving, but it's more refreshing and much better for you. 

But getting back to the point... If I don't drink enough water for a few days in a row, my skin starts looking like crap.

Re: Hydration
Yeah, I'm determined to drink more- I have a bottle of plain water at my desk that I keep refilling.  I have to force myself to drink it though.  The tea I drink is usually mint, or another kind of herbal tea, so no caffiene, and the Aquafina Alive doesn't have caffiene, just vitamins, and flavors (the Peach Mango is SO good!) so I drink one of those when I get bored of plain water.

Sweet Lil Girly Girl- that sounds like a good trick- what kind of juice do you use?

Re: Hydration

I use either club soda or plain seltzer water and then I go to the natural Organic aisle of the supermaket and get mango nectar or all natural cranberry juice with no sugar (if you drink the cranberry juice alone it tastes very strong and bitter since all it is is pure cranberry).  That type of cranberry juice is good if you tend to get UTI's as well since there isn't any sugar in it which can actually irritate a UTI more (just an FYI)!

I try to buy whatever juice is all natural with no added sugar.  I don't mind spending a lot on the small bottles of juice because it lasts a while when you mix it with club soda.
