Drink Up: The Daily Habit That Helps Your Skin Glow
We all know staying hydrated is good for your body—but did you know it’s one of the simplest, most effective things you can do for your skin too?
How it works
When your body and skin are well-hydrated:
- Your skin cells have enough water to stay plump, smooth and elastic, which helps you look and feel more radiant.
- A strong skin barrier means less irritants, less dryness and fewer fine lines.
- Your circulation and nutrient delivery to your skin improves, helping flush out toxins and support that fresh-faced look.
- Even oily skin benefits: when skin is dehydrated it may over-produce oil to compensate, which can lead to breakouts. Keeping hydrated helps regulate this.
So yes — drinking water isn’t the only skincare step you need (skincare products, sleep, diet matter too) — but it’s one of the foundational ones.
Tips for busy women to get started
Whether you’re juggling work, family, errands or all of the above — here are simple practical steps:
- Carry a reusable bottle — Aim for ~1.5 to 2 litres a day (or about 6–8 glasses) — sip throughout your day rather than chugging at the end.
- Set mini-goals — For example, finish half the bottle by lunch, the rest by late afternoon.
- Add interest — Infuse your water with lemon slices, cucumber or mint to make it more enjoyable and less “boring”.
- Pair with breaks — Every time you take a short stretch or check emails, refill your glass. Build the habit.
- Watch caffeine & alcohol — They can increase fluid loss, so if you have them, drink an extra glass of water to compensate.
- Eat hydrating foods too — Watermelon, cucumber, oranges, celery all have high water content and contribute to your hydration from the inside out.
- Night-time routine — Before bed, drink a small glass of water (but not too much if you want rest!) and use a moisturiser to lock in hydration from the outside.
- Track what works — If your skin looks dull, dry or lacks bounce, it may be a clue you’re under-hydrated.
- Adjust for weather/activity — Hot weather, air-conditioning, exercise all increase your hydration needs.
- Be consistent — You’ll likely see the benefit in how your skin feels first (softer, less tight) and then how it looks (healthier glow, less dullness).
