Did you know dehydration causes acne? When your skin is dehydrated the pores become rigid and don’t flex, which means that dirt and oil builds up in them and can’t get out. When the skin is hydrated however, it is more flexible and the pores are able to flex which helps sebum escape from the pore rather than remaining trapped inside meaning that the skin is cleaner and clearer. So, if you’re struggling with congested skin ask your self – ‘am I drinking enough water?’.
