If you aren't sure if you are drinking enough liquid, watch your face and hands. Your skin will tell you if you are getting enough.

You get up one morning and look in the mirror. Gasp! You look ten years older today than you did yesterday. The wrinkles have set in something furious overnight. Grabbing your moisturizing cream you completely slather your face with it and go about your morning routine only to find when you return to the mirror that the cream didn't do much for you. Before you panic or decide that life as you know it has taken a quick one way path to premature old age, just take it as a warning and relax. Much of the "overnight prune" syndrome can be fixed easily without a lot of expensive or lengthy treatment.

Before you do anything, take time to study your face in the mirror. The areas that look bad are the areas you should pay close attention to in your daily care routines. Now that you have that information, it's time to fix the damage. How your skin can degenerate so badly overnight isn't usually a complicated question either. You may have already noticed that some days you look a lot younger and healthier than others. The explanation is almost always very simple. You are dehydrated.

While the statistics vary a percent or two, they all concur that your body is over 90% water. Water keeps you cells plump and healthy. It allows toxins and wastes to be removed into the blood stream and filtered from the body and aids in the absorption of nutrients and oxygen. If you don't have enough of this vital fluid in your system your cells shrivel and your skin becomes wrinkled and leathery. When this happens you also have cells being damaged by poisons that are not being washed away from them and nutrients not getting into them.

Dehydration can be confusing because you won't always feel thirsty when you are dehydrating. By the time you do feel thirst, your skin is already on its way to shriveling. Thirst does not come before dehydration; it is a symptom that tells you that you are dehydrated. Once you feel thirst, you have already got some catching up to do. Dehydration can also give false signals of hunger rather than thirst. If you are eating normally and seem to be continually hungry what you actually may need is a big glass of fresh clear water. Put down your fork and pour your self a nice pure glass of non-calorie remedy.

As a rule of thumb you should be normally getting a half ounce of water per day per pound of weight. There are factors that will increase your need, such as exercise, altitude, heat, fever, and even drinking alcohol. If you aren't sure if you are drinking enough liquid, watch your face and hands.

If you didn't get enough water during the day you will continue to dehydrate through your sleeping hours. When you wake up you will then get the shock of your life when you look in the mirror.

If you do wake up shriveled, give yourself a twenty ounce glass of water. Water without chlorine and fluoride is best if you have access, and you always should. Drink that glass quickly then refill it and carry the second glass with you while you attend to your morning routine. Keep the glass with you. You will drink it if it is there. When that glass is near empty, refill it. Repeat that as often as you can manage without allowing yourself to feel bloated or sick. It is possible to drink too fast and your body will quickly tell you when you are doing so by causing discomfort. If you are already dehydrated, however, the normal half ounce per pound will not be enough to bring you back to proper hydration so don't stop just because you have had you "quota" for the day.

After a glass or two of just plain water you might want to drink a glass of organic milk, soy milk, juice, or tea between glasses of water. These liquids are all skin food and will nourish your cells while hydrating your body. Dehydration can deplete nutrition in the cells so a glass of orange juice with added calcium is a treat not only for your taste buds but for your skin as well. Do make sure that you drink mostly water throughout the day, though, as your body needs it's pure liquid attribute just as much as it needs other nutrients.

When dehydrated you need to take special care to stay away from coffee and soda pops or other liquids containing caffeine and sugar. While a cup of coffee might not hurt now and then in normal circumstances, while you are dehydrated you should steer clear of it. Soda pop should be avoided at all costs whether you are dehydrated or not. Your body recognizes carbon as waste and too much of that in your bloodstream will overload your immune system as your blood cells concentrate on removing it from your body. Alcohol, too, particularly wine, has argument for it's health benefits in small doses, but when dehydrated it is the last thing you should be drinking. Alcohol will dry you out rapidly. It only takes a few hours to see the effects of alcohol on your skin.

If you are continuously sipping water and a few skin fluids during the day you will start to see your skin becoming supple and smooth again. If the dehydration was allowed to get far enough it will take a little longer to reverse it, but it will reverse if you just keep the liquid going down.
