Here at Alive Water, we like to think of ourselves as more than just a company specializing in fresh spring water delivery. We also consider ourselves advocates for good health. For example, we are big believers in hydration. Proper hydration is essential for good health. And believe it or not, it actually helps with a variety of skin conditions.

Hydration plays a vital role in skin health. Everything from barrier function to cell elasticity and inflammation management – all key factors in skin disease – are impacted by hydration. If you have a skin disease, it is likely your doctor has told you to stay hydrated. And as long as you're going to do so, you might just as well hydrate with fresh spring water delivered directly to your door.

Hydration and Psoriasis

Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease in which a person's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy skin cells. Skin cells reproduce more quickly than normal, building up as an abnormal layer on the surface of the skin. Symptoms include dryness and flaking, itchiness, and inflammation.

Low hydration can exacerbate some psoriasis symptoms. Doctors tend to recommend staying hydrated in order to help retain skin moisture. Taking in plenty of water can reduce inflammation and minimize the itch.

Hydration and Atopic Dermatitis

Also known as eczema, atopic dermatitis is an inflammatory skin condition typified by large patches of dry, itchy skin. Its symptoms also include rashes, scaly patches, and blisters. Unfortunately, the bodies of people with atopic dermatitis have a reduced ability to bind water in the skin. So the more a person can drink, the better off they are.

Staying hydrated increases the availability of dietary water, giving a person's body more water to work with. Interestingly enough, many eczema patients are made more uncomfortable by allowing their skin to come into direct contact with water. So it is even more important that they drink plenty of it.

Other Skin Conditions

There are even more skin conditions that are directly impacted by water intake. Dehydrated skin immediately comes to mind. In the absence of enough water intake, skin can become dehydrated, making it dull and more sensitive than normal. Staying hydrated is the best way to avoid this condition.

Hydration can help combat:

• Acne

• General skin dryness

• Hard water effects on the skin

Here's the bottom line: you can never go wrong by drinking more water. Staying hydrated gives your body the necessary water to do what it does. And in most cases of chronic illness, hydration is one of the things doctors recommend.
