"How to have dewy skin?" - Tip for a Well Hydrated Look

I would like to share with you a simple tip to increase skin hydration. This method helps me to keep my skin moist from within and it also provides other benefits.

Skin can greatly benefit from frequent and plentiful water drinking but often water gets flushed out quickly without properly hydrating the cells. This can be fixed by simply adding … a pinch of a good quality salt to a glass of water.

Tiny amount of salt in a water glass is enough for stomach to start “digesting” it rather than just flushing it out straight away. It also gets the water nearer the Ph of the cells which means cells absorb it much faster. Unlike pure water, water with salt’s minerals reaches body parts that pure water doesn’t easily get into, it circulates around the system faster and stays in there for longer.

Salt in water creates isotonic solution which has ph matching ph of the cells (water is absorbed straight away).

Jerzy Zieba a Polish-Australian naturopath says he has seen many contemporary diseases cured with this method, as proper hydration is often overlooked by today’s medicine. In his interesting talk, he even mentions that some types of migraines can be stopped or greatly eased off if few water glasses with a small pinch of salt are drunk as soon as the person feels the migraine attack coming. He emphasises there is no fixed timescale to achieve optimal hydration– for some it’s days or weeks, for another it can even be few months of regular drinking of salted water.

It's important to notice, this method is not so much about the sodium that’s in the salt but about the trace minerals that help to transport and keep the water in the body wherever the minerals travel to (that’s why regular table salt is not good as it is depleted of any macro-minerals). Csilla Bischoff in the video below gracefully explains that pink himalayan salt is the best choice as it contains 84 different elements and unlike sea salt it’s free from any water pollution.

If the taste of slightly salted water is not to your liking, alternatively you can place salt on your thongue 10 – 15 seconds before drinking a water glass.

I started adding a pinch of pink Himalayan salt to a larger glass of water in the mornings and in the evenings. During the day I don’t normally have the salt with me (although lately I started carrying some), but mornings and evenings were enough to start seeing some interesting results. They included generally feeling more full which means less hungry in between meals and seeing my skin (all over the body) becoming well hydrated from within. I can also confirm the body becomes better at letting you know you’re well saturated with water and don’t need any more (with pure water I had a feeling I often ‘over drunk’ which made me to visit the bathroom every 5 minutes over the next hour).

I have to admit one more advantage of this method - I often drink water shortly before going to sleep which translates to nighttime bathroom visits… This tip was able to minimise this problem ;)

If you’ve never heard of this before, I highly recommend trying it. This has became my new favourite way of drinking more water, alongside with water with a dash of apple cider vinegar and and simple lemon honey water.

It’s simple, cheap, you can’t get wrong with it and your body will be definitely grateful :)

Thanks,

Olga
