Does water help your Skin?

Is there a vitamin or supplement that can help hydrate your skin? I can"t drink water and my skin stays dry.?

• I have tried flavoring in water and sports drinks can't drink those either.

• Answer:

  Increase your omega 3 fatty acids by taking supplements such as Evening Primrose Oil, fish oils, etc… And by eating walnuts, hazelnuts, or pecan nuts (if you’re not allergic) Ground Fennel seeds and Flax seeds, as well as Flax seed Oil supplements are also good omega 3’s. Omega 3’s aid in proper digestion and healthier skin. Increase your intake of vitamin D through supplements (1000 – 4000 IU/day) and B-complex to aid in healthier skin and maintaining a healthier immune system. - http://www.healthy-skincare.com/vitamin-%E2%80%A6 If you're not able to drink enough water throughout the day, you should avoid all alcohol and caffeine products. Consuming alcohol and caffeine will dehydrate your skin! You didn't ask about moisturizers, but I assume you know to moisturize daily. I would recommend you use lotions, not creams, as lotions are more gentle on the skin and absorb more easily. As well, I recommend you avoid hot showers & hot-tubs, etc... The heat from being in the hot water will also add to drying out your skin.
