During the recent holiday season of Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year, I indulged my sweet tooth with candy and ice cream, as well as drinking more alcohol, soft drinks, coffee and milk tea. My skin quickly showed its displeasure of this indulgence, as my pimples started popping up. Fortunately, I had a simple natural acne remedy - once I started drinking more plain (or mineral) water again, my pimples started clearing up.
Nowadays, many doctors will (officially) tell you that any liquid will do, even coffee and beer. They will tell you that you can get enough water through your daily diet. But the way my body reacts to the different liquids I drink tells me otherwise. I find that there is major difference between getting enough water to live, and getting enough water for good health (and clear, acne-free skin).
This simple elementary school science experiment on saturation shows the difference between drinking plain water and Coca-Cola. Just take one glass of plain water, then add one teaspoon of sugar. Stir the water, and the sugar will dissolve. Add a second teaspoon of sugar, and it will still dissolve. Add a third, and you will begin to notice that the sugar doesn't dissolve so easily. After a certain point, maybe five or six teaspoons of sugar, the water becomes saturated and no more sugar will dissolve.
As you can see, plain water is stronger than soft drinks or coffee at dissolving things. This effect is important for your digestion, in your blood and in your kidneys. Firstly, your body absorbs plain water more readily than coffee or Coca-cola. That means you get more effect from eight glasses of water compared to eight cans of Coke.
Second, the more water available to your body (to be made into blood), the more easily your blood can transport oxygen and fuel to your cells. Additionally, it is also easier for your blood to transport the carbon dioxide and waste products away from your cells.
Third, drinking more water makes it easier for your kidneys to filter away the waste products from your cells and from digestion. Obviously, the less waste products floating around in your body, the more healthy you will be. This will clearly reflect itself in healthy, glowing acne-free skin.
Don't get the wrong impression - drinking eight glasses of water a day is not a cure-all. It will not cure you of acne. But it is a completely free method of natural acne skin care that can help you a great deal. Proper acne care treatment still requires a complete system - the correct diet for you, nutrition, sleep, exercise, and hygiene.
