EDTK3004- Water and Skin Care When I was younger my mother ensured that my siblings and I drank at least 5 bottle of water a day. I never liked that fact that we had to drink so much water a day because I used to always say that I don’t sweat a lot so I’m not losing any water from my body. As I got older, I realized the level of importance of drinking water. According to UWHealth, drinking an adequate amount of water daily is important for overall good health because water aids in digestion, circulation, absorption and even excretion. The skin is an organ and with every organ has cells. Within each cell it contains water. If someone does not drink enough water a day, their skin will become flaky, dry and tight. There will not be any moisture in the skin. There are various kinds of products that could be used to moisten your skin. According to Everyday Health, there are five best ingredients that lotions should have to ensure moisture and good skin:
- Creamides
- Essential Fatty Acids
- Glycerin
- Hydraulic Acid
- Sodium PCA
If your lotion does not these five ingredients, I can assure you it has no moisture and you are basically putting nothing on your skin. Every individual is beautiful from their head to their toes and with the right lotion your skin can be just as beautiful.
Which lotion brand do you use and why?
