Keeping your body hydrated has numerous benefits. Plus, eating foods high in water can do wonders on skin. As Dr. Kazin says,"Maintaining skin’s hydration level is helpful for any skin condition" adding, “Patients often dry out their skin in an effort to treat acne, then pile on rich moisturizers, which gives them acne and dry skin."
