Beauty Quickie: Water Skin Benefits -Top 10 Reasons to Chug

ArianneUpdated on November 19, 2018November 19, 2018

It’s just simple math. Our bodies are made up of 60 percent water, so if you don’t drink enough H20 your bodily systems will not function properly. Therefore, to help motivate you to let’s talk water skin benefits. Here’s 10 reasons to go bottoms up in order to give yourself picture perfect skin!

Beauty Quickie: Water Skin Benefits -Top 10 Reasons to Chug

Improves Skin “Turgor”-Meaning being properly hydrated helps to plump the skin (fuller looks more youthful) as well as decrease the appearance of fine lines.
Banish Raccoon Eyes– Dealing with dark circles? Many of us are, however drinking plenty of water can help you reduce the look and appearance of dark circles.
A Natural Highlighter– Thanks to Fenty Beauty we all want to glow like a Killawatt. Moreover, drinking water can encourage your skin to develop a beautiful natural glow. Take that cosmetics!
Straight Flush-Drink up because water also has the ability to flush your system of harmful toxins. Such cleansing enables your skin to not only be clean; but helps to push out bacteria and reduce the risk of developing acne.
Throw It Round In a Circle– Additionally, water is important to circulation. If everything is flowing right then nutrients and other goodies can easily travel all over in order to give your skin from your scalp to your toes what they need to stay healthy.
Softer Than a Baby-If skin is dehydrated it can become chapped, dry and in some cases “crack.” Avoid this painful result by drinking up so that you have smooth skin instead.
Don’t Let It Snow-Having a dandruff, dry scalp episode? An itchy, flaky scalp is usually caused by a dry one. Help your scalp stay well moisturized by drinking plenty of quality H20; because a healthy scalp can also lead to more hair growth.
Crystal Clear-Water can also clear up your skin, which is why your daily water intake is important. If you do not consume ample water, bodily wastes and toxins keep on accumulating in the body and can become trapped under your skin. GROSS! Making matters worse, keep in mind that your skin is in fact the largest organ of your body. Therefore, help the biggest organ out by staying hydrated so it can remove such waste. Your body will reward you with clearer looking skin.

9. That’s Tight-Dry skin has less resilience and lacks the ability to spring back into shape. So then, besides giving your skin a more youthful appearance, water can additionally aid in keeping skin tight and toned as well.

10. Beat the Clock-As we get older our bodies have a harder time retaining moisture. Lack of hydration can result in a duller complexion. Therefore, right now get into the habit of drinking a sufficient amount of water. Doing so, will help you maintain a radiant look even as the years tick by.

As one can see there are many water skin benefits to enjoy. However, drinking water alone is not the only thing you should be doing to serve up some major face. Check out our Beauty Section (www.https//1966mag.com/beauty) for even more awesome skincare and beauty tips!

Ask and Tell: Meghan Markle Wears Roland Mouret Aldrich Dress in Blue

ArianneUpdated on November 16, 2018November 16, 2018

The Item: The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle Wears Roland Mouret Aldrich Dress in Blue. Markle was attending an “unannounced” engagement along with husband, Prince Harry; as well as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Future king, Prince William, his wife and the Sussexes attended the Royal Foundation Dinner held at Victoria House in London. The dinner included a performance by musician, Tom Walker.

You Asked: I’m obsessed help me! Finding myself following every fashion move Meghan makes now. Just noticed that she is in some blue dress. I don’t remember the palace saying she is supposed to be somewhere but I love her dress anyway! Any info available?

Ask and Tell: Meghan Markle Wears Roland Mouret Aldrich Dress in Blue

The Verdict: Hi there, this is what we know so far! Markle is wearing a dress by fashion label, Roland Mouret. If searching for this particular gown online it is known as the “Aldrich” dress. In terms of price, last time we saw this dress it was being sold on the Saks Fifth Avenue site for $2,499.

Interestingly enough, another famous actress has been spotted in this RM design. Latina television superstar Sofia Vergara also donned the Aldrich for a Star Wars red carpet event. Therefore, this is certainly a popular look among famous ladies.

Additionally, in case you are wondering about Meghan’s sister-in-law’s fab attire; Kate Middleton shined bright in a red Preen By Thornton Bregazzi dress. Kate originally wore this similiar gown back in September of 2016 (just in black) for a Royal Canada Tour.

Furthermore, as of late both duchesses (Meghan and Kate) have been recycling past ensembles. Their style move is still quite chic. Their “remixed” outfits are still just as fashionable as the first time around. Nicely done ladies!

Hope that answered your fashion question! If you or a style obsessed gal pal has one they would like to ask give us a follow on Instagram, slide into our DMs and ask away.
