Too much of anything can be toxic for your body. So, you need to understand whether your body can handle water therapy or not. The question is, who needs water therapy? Or who can undergo water therapy?
Generally, people who have dehydrated skin need water therapy. Your skin may feel dry, and you may think it needs water – but that may not be the case. So, it’s better to check whether you are eligible for water therapy or not. And to do that, you need to understand the difference between dry skin and dehydrated skin.
- Dry Skin: It is inherited and caused due to the inadequate production of natural oils (or sebum). Your skin may become dry due to an underactive thyroid gland or imbalance in hormones. To heal dry skin, you can add hydrating oils and creams to your skin care routine. Use skincare products that nourish, moisturize and soothe the skin.
- Dehydrated Skin: It is mainly caused by external factors like less water intake, unhealthy diet, weather changes, and excessive caffeine consumption. All these factors deplete the water content in your skin. In other words, dehydrated skin lacks water but not natural oils (unlike dry skin). Luckily, this is a temporary phase and can be treated by increasing water intake and making some lifestyle changes to avoid excessive water loss.
Your skin is dehydrated if you have these following symptoms:
- Itchy Skin: Extreme temperature can rob moisture from your skin, leaving the outer surface itchy and dry. Even if you see oil on your skin surface, you will encounter dry and flaky skin.
- Excessive Skin Sensitivity: This is one of the most tell-tale signs of dehydrated skin. When the moisture barrier is disturbed, your skin is not able to protect itself from external irritants, such as pollutants and bacteria. This might worsen your symptoms and cause more irritation, itchiness, and inflammation.
- A Dull Appearance: Dehydrated skin won’t be able to perform even the basic functions like cell renewal. In other words, with low hydration levels, your skin cannot shed the old cells and regenerate new ones. The dead cells will keep accumulating on the skin surface, making your skin look dull.
- Wrinkles And Fine Lines: Pinch the skin on your cheek gently. If you see fine lines (a tiny network of lines), your skin is dehydrated. These are unlike crow’s feet and laugh lines.
- Delayed Damage Repair: Lack of water doesn’t allow for transfer of skin signals and chemokinesi XA large group of proteins made by immune cells that stimulate the migration of cells, most notably white blood cells needed for any damage / wound healing to take place promptly.
Most people drink a sufficient amount of water based on their thirst. However, people who are active, exercise outdoors, or live in hot, dry, or humid climates need to drink more to maintain optimal hydration levels.
