Hydration plays a crucial role in reaping numerous health and skincare advantages. When adequately hydrated, not only do you experience an overall sense of well-being, but your skin also appears luminous. Have you ever considered the optimal amount of water necessary to achieve these effects?

On April 1, Raj Shamani released a video on YouTube featuring a discussion with dermatologist Dr. Manjot Marwah, addressing common myths surrounding sensitive skin, the use of fruit masks, the impact of air conditioning on skin health, and more. In one part of the conversation, she elaborated on the benefits of increased water intake for the skin and recommended daily hydration levels.

Does drinking more water help your skin?

In the podcast, Dr. Manjot addressed the question of whether increased water intake impacts skin health. He noted that insufficient water consumption does have an effect and recommended that consuming a normal amount of water is adequate. He emphasized that drinking excessive amounts of water in the hope of achieving glowing skin or significantly improved skin quality is unnecessary. "Two to three liters is sufficient. Any excess beyond that will simply be expelled by your body," Dr. Manjot explained.

But what if you drink less water?

When inquired about the effects of reduced water intake, Dr. Manjot clarified that the initial noticeable changes occur beneath the eyes. "You begin to develop dark circles... Dry skin is an indicator; dehydration sets in, leading to chapped lips. It creates a detrimental cycle; dry skin accelerates the aging process, and these issues tend to occur consecutively."

Furthermore, Dr. Manjot addressed the impact of consuming hot coffee or tea on individuals with sensitive skin. She stated, "For those with sensitive skin, we advise against drinking hot coffee or tea. When you hold a coffee mug, the hot steam and vapors rise and come into contact with the cheeks. This can lead to complications, and it is a crucial point emphasized in our textbooks. Avoiding hot liquids is advisable, as they can be harmful."
