Hydration from the Inside Out: Nutrition and Skincare Tips for Glowing Skin
Internal Hydration: Fuel Your Glow
What you put into your body directly impacts your skin’s hydration levels and elasticity.
1. Drink Up:
Aim for at least 2 liters of water daily — more if you’re sweating or spending time in the sun. Staying consistently hydrated helps flush out toxins and keeps your skin looking fresh.
2. Add Electrolytes:
Boost hydration with electrolyte powders like LMNT, Liquid I.V., or sip on natural coconut water for potassium and hydration support.
3. Eat Your Water:
Include hydrating foods like:
- Cucumbers
- Watermelon
- Berries
- Zucchini
- Lettuce
These not only hydrate but are packed with skin-loving antioxidants.
4. Don’t Skip Healthy Fats:
Omega-3s support your skin barrier and help retain moisture. Add:
- Chia seeds
- Flax seeds
- Walnuts
- Wild salmon
- Omega supplements like Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega
Layering hydrating skincare helps seal in moisture and creates that lit-from-within glow.
1. Hydrating Serums:
Look for products with hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and peptides:
- Hydrinity Restorative HA Serum
- U Beauty The SUPER Hydrator
- SkinCeuticals Hyaluronic Acid Intensifier Multi-Glycan
- ALASTIN HA (Hyaluronic Acid) IMMERSE Serum
2. Seal with a Moisturizer:
Choose something that supports your skin barrier and prevents water loss:
- Epicuren Discovery Kukui Coconut After Bath – rich and soothing
- Sente Dermal Repair Cream – perfect for sensitive or mature skin
- EltaMD Barrier Renewal Complex – dermatologist-loved
3. Midday Refresh:
Keep a hydrating mist on hand for an instant glow-up. These skin-loving sprays hydrate, calm, and boost your skincare:
- TRUology Youth Mist – Firms, hydrates, and brightens with adaptogens + peptides.
- Epicutis Hydrobiome Mist - Balances and calms with pre/postbiotics.
- Epicuren Discovery Colostrum Hydrating Mist – Nourishes and hydrates with glacier water + colostrum.
- Hydrinity Hyacyn Active Mist – Soothes and heals with Hypochlorous Acid.
Extra Tip: Avoid too much caffeine, sugar, and alcohol — they dehydrate your skin (sorry, iced lattes 🙃)
Glow from within and stay hydrated from every angle 💦
