Question: Does drinking 8 glasses of water a day keep my skin moist?
Answer: No.
Despite years of having this drummed into our heads, this is not true.
It is good to keep your body, including your skin, hydrated, however the
outermost layer of skin does not absorb water since it is made up of
dead skin cells. Moisture level of skin is not determined by internal
factors, but rather external ones, such as cold or hot air, dry heat and
by the number of oil-producing glands you have. So if you want to
hydrate your skin, exfoliate it weekly with a sea-salt scrub or other
exfoliator to remove dead skin then apply a rich moisturizer while skin
is still damp. Want to hydrate your insides then by all means, drink
your 8 glasses of water a day.
