Drinking lots and lots of water is a universal solution to almost all of our skin troubles and an essential part of natural skin care. From having acne and pimples to having a dull and gloomy skin, from having dehydrated skin to having open pores and from having a dry skin to having an oily skin – water is the solution to all your skin troubles. It tightens the pores, cools down your skin, supports blood circulation in and around the epidermis, hydrates from the inside and controls the pH of your skin.

• You must have at least 8 glasses of water every day. You can always have more than that but not any lesser than 8 glasses or else just know that you are simply being mean to your skin.
• Splash water on your face after every hour or two. This will wash away the extra oils and tighten your pores.
