It’s that time of the year, when we fulfil our motherly duty by reminding you to keep nature’s elixir at arm’s reach and sip through the day. Here’s why you should keep yourself hydrated all day, every day.
Skin and beauty expert, Swarnlekha Gupta tells us, “If your skin is not getting the sufficient amount of water, the lack of hydration will turn your skin dry, tight and flaky. Dry skin has less resilience and is more prone to wrinkling.” So, drink water, lots of it! If you need to sip something with more flavour, add in a little lemon to your water for a refreshing drink. The Vitamin C, in turn, will strengthen your immune system, build up collagen and prevent your skin from loosening. In other words, it will guarantee that your skin is free of wrinkles, spots and blemishes.
8 cups of water a day will…
Increase metabolism, fill you up, aid in weight loss, flush out toxins, get you glowy, perfect skin, relieve fatigue—and all for zero calories!
Hydrates parched skin and tightens up your pores
Your skin needs moisture to expand. Caffeine, alcohol, perspiration, sitting in an air conditioned office all day—these things dehydrate your skin. By drinking water, you expand the moisture potential of your skin. This allows your skin to stretch and naturally release secreted oils—and most importantly tighten up your pores.

As the esteemed Dorothy Parker once said "living well is the best revenge" and I take that piece of advice to heart. A babe in the woods for all things theatrical--I like to see drama in the mundane. Fresh off the yacht into this editorial world, I look forward to bringing in a fresh, beautiful perspective.
