Back to Basics: Why Water is Your Main Beauty Tool 

Beautiful curly hair, a gorgeous bright smile, and flawless skin is every woman’s dream, which is why most women spend up to $15,000 (56,041,000 UGX) on beauty products in their lifetime. And while there’s no denying that some of the high-end products work marvels, there is one basic tool that can and should be incorporated into one’s daily beauty routine – water. Read on to find out how this natural yet powerful element can help you look and feel beautiful.

H2O for that gorgeous smile

As you might know, good dental hygiene helps prevent unpleasant breath, tooth decay, and gum disease, which additionally also increases the odds of keeping your natural teeth as you enter old age. Good oral hygiene also means having a bright attractive smile. So, how does one achieve this? Besides regularly brushing teeth (2 times a day),  dental professionals also recommend water flossing as a more effective alternative to traditional flossing. It is easy on the gums, removes all the bacteria, and causes no damage to the enamel. And the best part? As the name suggests, water flossers use water to remove the unwanted particles, which means your teeth and gums will not be exposed to potentially harmful substances.

 Steam for skin hydration 

Steam is the vaporized form of water, which when used carefully can do wonders for one’s skin. One of the most common beauty predicaments many women have to deal with is dry skin. As beautiful as that deep velvety chocolate complexion is, one of its drawbacks is that it does not retain water easily. For this reason, spending 5-10 minutes vaporising your face can help your skin soak up enough water for the day. This way, your skin will gain back its elasticity, glow, and you might even notice a reduction in fine wrinkles. Needless to say, this form of water is an effective catalyst that can help you achieve a glowing look without any expensive or  damaging chemicals.

 Give your curls a rinse

If you had to step into your bathroom right now, how many hair products would you be able to name? Most women would say at least 3, while others would give a number as high as 8. If you think about it, that’s a lot of chemicals. There’s no denying that hair products are essential – some of them even beneficial for hair health, but there are times when your hair need a break. This is where water comes in. Soaking your hair in water for a few minutes then letting it air dry is one of the simplest yet most effective solutions to help your locks rejuvenate. Water will help rinse off all the chemicals, while also replenishing the outer layers (cuticle) with much needed water.

As you can see, sometimes the simplest tool is the most effective. So, if you’ve overlooked the power of this natural element in your beauty routine, it’s high time you gave it a shot, and reaped the benefits.
