Q: Does hydration really matter to skin health?
Green Water Technologies: Absolutely. Your skin, or more specifically the cells that make it up, need water to survive and thrive. If you stay dehydrated for too long, your skin may dry out or appear more wrinkled than it should be. Further, dehydration can make the skin under your eyes thinner, which can result in dark circles that creams and makeup can’t hide.
Q: Will drinking enough water give me flawless skin?
Green Water Technologies: Not exactly. Although drinking is crucial to prevent dehydration, your body routes water to vital organs, such as your heart, brain, and lungs, first. Try adding an extra six to eight ounces of liquid to your diet each day and see if that makes a difference. You should also hydrate from the outside by using quality moisturizers when you first exit the shower while your skin is best able to absorb moisture.
Q: My skin often feels dry after bathing. What could cause that?
Green Water Technologies: If your home currently utilizes hard, unconditioned water, the mineral deposits flowing through your pipes may be the culprit. Magnesium, lime, and other naturally-occurring minerals, along with chemicals such as chlorine, can dry out skin -- and hair. A whole-home water filter can rectify this problem by removing the majority of contaminants.
Q: How long does it take to see results after installing a home water filtration system?
Green Water Technologies: The GE Pro Elite is so effective that you will almost certainly notice a difference after your first shower or bath. Keep in mind, however, that it can take several days or weeks for skin to get back to normal.
