The benefits of keeping hydrated
With just a few weeks to go until summer officially begins, it's the perfect time to talk about hydration—one of the simplest yet most powerful ways to support your overall health and radiant skin.
Staying properly hydrated is essential for nearly every function in the body, but it becomes even more crucial as temperatures rise. The recommended daily water intake for women is around 2.7 liters, but if you're exercising regularly or spending time in the heat, you may need even more.
We've already discussed how drinking water helps flush out toxins and moisturize the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. But the benefits of hydration go well beyond that!

Surprising Benefits of Drinking More Water
Here are some lesser-known but equally important reasons to keep your water bottle close this season:
1. Prevents Dry, Itchy Skin
Dehydration can lead to dry patches, flaking, and uncomfortable itching. Drinking enough water helps keep your skin barrier strong and smooth.
2. Supports Skin Elasticity
If you’ve recently lost weight, you may notice some skin sagging. Staying hydrated helps restore your skin’s natural elasticity, giving it a firmer, more youthful appearance.
3. Reduces Acne and Blemishes
If your skin is sensitive or acne-prone, drinking more water can help balance your skin’s natural pH and improve its clarity from the inside out.
4. Regulates Body Temperature
As temperatures soar or during workouts, your internal body temperature rises. Water helps regulate this, preventing heat-related skin issues like rashes.
5. Aids Digestion and Detoxification
Proper hydration supports regular bowel movements, flushes out toxins through urine, and promotes better gut health—all of which contribute to a clearer, healthier complexion.
Infuse Your Water with Wellness
Plain water is great, but if you're looking to enhance the flavor and benefits, try adding any of the following:
Mint – Refreshing and aids digestion
Lemon, lime, or orange – Rich in vitamin C and great for the skin
Basil – Offers anti-inflammatory properties
Ginger – Soothes digestion and reduces inflammation
Apple cider vinegar – Helps prevent breakouts and supports gut health
Cinnamon – Balances blood sugar levels
Pineapple – Adds flavor and a dose of vitamin C
You can also add electrolytes to your water—especially after a workout or on hot days. They help replenish essential minerals lost through sweat and support both gut and skin health, giving your complexion a plumper, more hydrated look. Cure has come up with a wide - and ever-expanding - range of Organic electrolytes to add to our water, light sweetened with coconut.
Stay Cool, Stay Glowing
Hydration is one of the easiest ways to care for your skin, digestion, and energy levels. Try experimenting with infused water and electrolytes to see what works best for you.
