Because, let\u2019s be honest. As refreshing as water can be when we\u2019re really, <em>really <\/em>thirsty\u2026 it\u2019s not always our <em>favorite <\/em>drink.<\/p><p>And yes, we all know that drinking enough water each day is good for you, but that doesn\u2019t change the fact that we\u2019d much rather have a PSL from Starbucks.<\/p><p>But, what if we added a little\u2026 spice?<\/p><p>Don\u2019t worry\u2026 we got you.<\/p><p><b>Here are 7 things to add to your water that can<\/b>:<\/p><p>1). Help increase your water intake (in general)<\/p><p>2). Give your skin a super boost and leave you looking like you have a perma-filter on<\/p><p><strong>Lemon<\/strong><\/p><p>The classic lemon water. 10\/10 recommend starting your day with this one, if you can (on an empty stomach is best!).<\/p><p>Firstly, lemons are <em>packed <\/em>with antioxidants and are an amazing source of vitamin C, which can help repair damaged skin cells. It\u2019s also a known collagen booster, which means it can help fight off fine lines and wrinkles.<\/p><p>Not only that, drinking a nice, tall glass of lemon water has been known to help effectively prevent those pesky breakouts. You heard that right \u2013 lemon water can actually help with your acne.<\/p><p><strong>Pro Tip<\/strong>: drink your lemon water either warmed up or room temp and try to make it a morning habit. It also helps a lot with that morning breath (it\u2019s okay to admit that our morning breath can get a little funky\u2026 this is a safe space).<\/p><p><strong>Mint<\/strong><\/p><p>It\u2019s not just for mojitos. Mint water is great for giving our skin a nice <em>glow<\/em> on those days when we\u2019re looking a little dull.<\/p><p>Slipping a sprig of mint into your water can also help a lot with making daily digestion go smoothly.<\/p><p>Now, you may be thinking, <em>well\u2026 what does that have to do with my skin? <\/em>We\u2019re glad you asked.<\/p><p>When things in that area are in <em>working order, <\/em>your body is constantly ridding itself of toxins that could otherwise manifest themselves on your skin, often in the form of whiteheads and annoying breakouts. Basically, if toxins can\u2019t exit through the back door, they\u2019ve still gotta exit from <em>somewhere<\/em>.<\/p><p>That\u2019s where our friend mint comes in.<\/p><p><strong>Watermelon<\/strong><\/p><p>On top of being super hydrating, watermelon is another vitamin C heavyweight. Not only that, the presence of vitamin E can also help fight hyperpigmentation, as well as help repair the effects of free radicals (think discoloration, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and other things we\u2019d much rather do without).<\/p><p>And if that wasn\u2019t enough reason to literally go buy the nearest watermelon right now, it\u2019s also packed full of vitamin A, which is known to have radiant effects on the skin, leaving you with a dewy, youthful glow. We love healthy-looking skin here.<\/p><p><strong>Chlorophyll <\/strong><\/p><p>Okay, so we know there\u2019s quite a bit of controversy surrounding the topic of liquid chlorophyll, but it\u2019s a <em>yes <\/em>from us, here at ElastaFlex.<\/p><p>A few drops of chlorophyll in an 8oz glass of water has been reported to help with hyperpigmentation and skin texture, on top of being a natural detoxifier and deodorizer. No, but seriously\u2026 it really keeps those pits in check. Super clutch on those mornings you\u2019re running late and forget to spray on your Dove antiperspirant. \u00a0<\/p><p><i>Disclaimer alert<\/i>: your poop <em>will <\/em>be green with chlorophyll as a part of your daily routine. Sorry\u2026 tmi, but TRUE!<\/p><p>(Also note: chlorophyll can sometimes interact with certain prescription meds, so definitely consult with your doctor if you take anything regularly, just to double-check that it\u2019s safe for you to try)!<\/p><p><strong>Cucumber<\/strong><\/p><p>There\u2019s something about cucumber water that just makes you feel like you\u2019re meeting a friend for lunch at the Beverly Hills Hotel.<\/p><p>But aesthetic aside, cucumbers are packed full of vitamin B5, which studies have shown to be effective in preventing breakouts and blemishes.<\/p><p>They\u2019re also over 90% water for an extra hydration-boost.<\/p><p><strong>Cinnamon<\/strong><\/p><p>For this one, you can just grab some cinnamon tea bags (for preparation with ease).<\/p><p>But, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/302584186_Comparison_of_in_vitro_antioxidant_activity_of_infusion_extract_and_fractions_of_Indonesian_Cinnamon_Cinnamomum_burmannii_bark\"><u>cinnamon<\/u><\/a> is definitely on our <em>spices to love <\/em>list, as studies show that it may help with collagen production, which boosts skin elasticity and fights off signs of aging.<\/p><p>It also has some note-worthy anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties (bye, bye acne) and believe it or not, can also help with cramping and PMS symptoms (just as an added bonus).<\/p><p><strong>ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar)<\/strong><\/p><p>The best thing about the items on this list is that most of them work just as well <em>on <\/em>the skin, as they do inside your body.<\/p><p>Apple Cider Vinegar is a natural astringent and exfoliator, so if your skin leans more towards the oily end of the spectrum, it works great as a toner to remove dirt and all that excess oil.<\/p><p>A shot of ACV in a cup of water each day can help detox the skin, clear out toxins (which your skin will love you for), and a host of other benefits.<\/p><p>Let us know your favorite things to add into your water and\/or if you try anything on this list.
