You might be thinking, “Cool, I’ll just drink two gallons a day and get perfect skin!” Hold up, speed racer. Drinking too much water can actually flush out essential salts and minerals, leading to a condition called hyponatremia. Your skin might get puffy, not clear.
Your body is smart. It will pee out any excess water, so gulping extra won’t make your skin a glowing fountain. The key is balance: drink enough so you don’t feel thirsty, but don’t drown your organs.
So how much is “enough”? A good rule? Your urine should be pale yellow—like lemonade, not apple juice or clear as tap water.
