If you have verydry skin but drink lots of water daily,does it mean you need not put moisturiser on your skin?

No you still need to moisturize to keep in the moisture.

Even though you can't see it, your skin is covered with its own special oil called sebum (say: see-bum). Sebum is found on the outermost layer of skin. Sebum moistens, or lubricates (say: loo-bruh-kaytes), and protects your skin. It also makes your skin a bit waterproof. That's why water runs off your skin when you wash your hands, instead of soaking it in like a sponge would. \n\nBut staying in water for a long time washes away the sebum. Then, the water can penetrate the outer layer of your skin. This causes your skin to become waterlogged. So how does this lead to wrinkles?  No one is really sure. \n\nSome people think it's because the skin expands to allow extra water inside. The expanded skin ends up looking really wrinkly. Other people think that it's because the skin is tied down to the tissue underneath in certain places. So when the skin is full of water, it swells up (gets puffy), but only in places where it is not tied down, which makes it look wrinkly.

Absolutely.  Water is a great cleanser and waste disposer.  In the tropical countries the heat is so much, drinking 8 glasses of water per day need not be forced.  Probably we are drinking more.  The question is more relevant in the temperate zones where you do not drink water so much.  Water is necessary for healthy skin as well.  Please check out any of the websites on water, plenty of them around.  Half of them say that there is no proof drinking that much water helps.  But we, in the east, tend to believe otherwise.  Water is so much a part of our daily living.  After all there is nothing called water overloading, since excess water is eliminated by the body very easily too, unless you have a reduced kidney function.

No.  \n\nDrinking a reasonable amount of water to excess amounts of water will no impact on muscle growth.\n\nSevere dehydration is a different story...and could have a negative impact.\n\nBut to answer your question, NO...drinking water does not make your muscles bigger.

I have dry skin and use a loofah each time I take a bath. Don't ditch the loofah. Try using a moisturizing body wash if you are worried about scaly skin or some lotion after your bath.\n:)

Ok, although the oil and dead cells on the surface of your skin are intended to restrict it as much as possible your skin is very slightly permeable to water.  If you were submerged totally in fresh water you would still dehydrate and die if you didn't drink, but maybe at a slightly slower rate than you might do otherwise.  Because of the osmotic potential of salt water you would probably LOOSE (a very small amount of) water from your tissues to the surrounding water!

Water, water, water.  Plain and simple.  It's the best thing you can do for your skin.  Hydrated skin looks fabulous and fresh.  Eating habits treally depend on you.  Are you trying to lose weight?  Just tone up?  Maintain a good thing?  Stay away from processed, packaged foods.  Lots of fresh veggies and fruit, baked chicken and fish, and at least 30 minutes a day of exercise will do wonders for anyone.

The other answrs are correct, there IS less humidity because the cold air does not hold the moisture in the air.  This often causes dry skin and local irritation.  \n\nThings to do to manage this problem:\n\n#1  Drink More Fluids, water is the best choice for this.\n\n#2  If desired, use a humidifier in your home.  \n\n**This is actually suggested by physicians because mucus membranes (the skin in your mouth and nose) dry out creating cracks in the skin and thereby provide easier access to micro-organisms (bacteria/virus') to get into your body to make you sick.\n\n#3  Use moisturizers often on your skin and hands (especially if you wash your hands often).\n\n  Lubriderm is a suggested product and is used by many medical facilitites.  The best time to use any lotion is after you bath or shower as the skin can absorb and use the moisturizer very well at that point.\n\n#4  Use tepid water or luke warm water to wash.  Hot water actually removes more of your body's natural oils thereby drying your skin out more.\n\n#5 Reduce the number of shower/baths you take (if you are able to) as this washing leads to drier skin.

Exfoliate and apply moisturiser, preferably with a sunscreen.  Also, drink the daily recommended amount of water.

LOL!!  There is no "required" amount that you "should" drink each day.\nJust a lot of myth and folklore.\n\nDrink when you're thirsty.  Period.  That's all that is needed.

It's always good to drink lots of water.  It will not only make your skin healthier, it will make your whole body healthier.  Make sure you wash your face at night before bed, and again in the morning.  Use a facial cleanser, not soap.  Soap is too drying.  Follow with a good moisturizer.  Exfoliate at least once a week, but no more than twice a week.  This will help get rid of dull dead skin, and give your face a healthy glow.

It really depends on your skin type. Are you oily, dry or a combination of the two? \n\nI find Zirh's facial cleanser and facial scrub to be excellent at getting your skin clean and bright. \n\nBy far the most important thing is the moisturise at least once a day (morning is a must). If you've got oily skin and you use a moisturiser that's too heavy, then your skin will look greasy and shiny. It works the same way for dry skin, if your moisturiser is too light then it just won't work and your skin will still be dry.\n\nI have combination skin and find that the only thing that works for me is an oil-free moisturiser by 'Anthony'. When I'm hungover or really tired then Boitherm's Aquaforce or Nickel's Morning After are brilliant for making you look better than you feel!\n\nFor ultra smooth/soft skin use a clay or mud mask every couple of weeks. This will get deep into the pores of your skin and get rid of all those impurities. All the major brands make these!\n\nHappy skin.

Drink plenty of water. Avoid drinks such as coffee and alcohol as they are diuretics. (They soak up a lot of the water in your system which can leave you dehydrated.) Also, check out moisture-intense body lotions for your skin in the meantime, and hydrating chap stick. Hope this helps =]

Yes, it does. However, studies have shown that you don't need 8 glasses of water a day JUST to be hydrated. In fact, a marathon runner a few years back died from drinking too much water. I'm guessing that if you're not thirsty, you're hydrated.

Find a three step skin regimine that works for your skin.  It should have a cleanser a toner and a light moisturizer.  You have to have the moisturizer to prevent the fine lines so use a super light one that will not clog pores.  Even at your age start using an eye cream every day and night.  Abig yes on the vitamins and water is good for the skin.  Your skin is the largest organ on your body(yes it is considered an organ) and for it remain purified you must drink water.\nChocolate is a culprit.  All good things in moderation though.
