- The Importance of Water in Skin
The skin plays a very important part in the health of the human body and water plays a key role in the maintenance of healthy skin. The epidermis, especially the stratum corneum, protects against water loss, serves as a barrier preventing entrance of microorganisms, and has an acidic pH ranging from 4 to 6.5.
Keeping your skin well hydrated is a two part process - external application of high quality, natural skin care products such as moisturizing creams and - internally, drinking plenty of water each and every day.
Avoiding dry skin is therefore one of the key elements in good basic skin care. Dry skin can also make you more prone to scaling, cracking, irritation, eczema and infections.
