I'm trying to drink my 8 glasses of water a day
« on: September 27, 2012, 09:37:39 am »
in hopes to clear this new acne problem I've been having the last couple of months.  So far no great results, but I'm going to keep at it.  It's healthy anyways lol I should do it with or without an acne problem.

Gotta a tip for ya.  An Uncle of mine told me that when it comes to water intake you take your weight and divide it in half.  Whatever that is ='s how much water your individual body needs.  Uncle Dan is a biologist so I took what he said intelligent and tried it myself...  I lost weight but as for acne that wasn't an issue.  Now this last allergy season I bought some epson salts...with eucalyptus in them.  Over in the wal-mart pharmacy.  I've been boiling a pot of water throughout the day with spoonfuls of this stuff in it.  Aside from getting moisture in the air and the house smelling like a 1960's pharmacy we've also enjoyed the benefits of using it as an exfoliant.  I have a teen female and an almost teen male.  Both of them have begun washing there faces with this stuff in addition to the oil of olay soap we use and they are both clearing up real nice.

I havn't heard of drinking alot of water to help acne.  I have heard about drinking water to lose weight.  either way water is really good for you and we should all be drinking at least 8 glasses a day.  I have a hard time making that much but started carrying a eco friendly bottle and keep refilling it and it has helped to drink more.

We all should drink more water than we do.  It is a great way to flush our systems, and replace water that we have lost.  I read once that if you are thirsty, drink water.

yeah I try to get my 8 glass in a day too, but usually instead of the glass I drink mine from a large McDonalds cup. I do like 4 a day. I  :heart: water anyway so it's pretty easy to get more in. Anyway good luck to you, like you said don't give up it will clear up.

I can see how this might help because it will keep your skin more hydrated/moisturized, if that's what's causing your break outs. One tip I'd have is don't wash your face twice a day. Wash it once in the evening and be sure what you're using isn't too drying, or use a moisturizer, and then in the morning just wash your face with warm water. I think this makes a world of difference for sensitive skin.

You only need to drink as much water as it takes to make your pee light yellow or clear.  It may not be 8 glasses, maybe only 6.

I don't drink enough water like I should.  I try to drink water but can only drink it if it is very cold or has ice in it.
