It is always important to stay hydrated. In the colder months it is easier to become dehydrated due to the drier air, the use of indoor heaters, and because the colder weather generally makes you desire water to quench your thirst less than the warmer months where you may use cold water to help cool you off. If you are noticing that your skin is getting drier chances are you aren’t getting enough water.

 

How much water should I drink?

A good formulation is to divide your weight in pounds by half.  Convert that number to ounces.

Notice the liquid measurement of your favorite water bottle or glass.  How many times a day do you need to refill it to meet your personal total?

For example, my favorite water bottle is yellow stainless steel with honey bees. It contains 15 ounces.  my formulation is 115/50 = 57.5 oz.  My daily water intake goal is 4 containers a day.  I always fill a bottle up before I drive in my car.  I refill the bottle at my destination if possible.  I keep a 32 ounce stainless bottle in my car at all times.  

Adding mineral once a day to water can help with absorption.  My favorite minerals are in liquid form from the great salt lake.

Oils, food grade lotions and water spritzes are helpful in combating the drier air, hydration even for your skin begins on the inside (after all your skin is just another organ). I love coconut oil, shea butter and floral waters.
