How IV Hydration Can Improve Your Skin

Creating healthy lifestyle habits that make you feel your best is a huge reward, but isn’t it that much better when you look and feel your best!?!

We all know the importance hydration has on our physical health, but why is no one talking about the importance of hydration for our physical appearance? Just as our physical health is not fixed and can improve or decline based on our habits, our physical appearance can either suffer or flourish depending on our lifestyle choices.

The skin is made up of layers of skin cells, and the main component of those cells is water. Studies have shown that adequate daily water intake can have a positive effect on the hydration and appearance of the skin. Studies have also shown that increasing dietary water intake has a similar effect on the skin as applying a topical moisturizer.

So, how much water should we be drinking? The skin shows the benefits of hydration when 2.25-3 liters of water is consistently consumed. However, studies also show that most Americans do not achieve their daily recommended intake of water consumption. With this in mind, IV therapy can assist in filling in hydration gaps to improve the overall appearance of your pores, wrinkles, and skin brightness.
