water intake?

  • Hi ladies. I am having an issue with all of the water I have started drinking. I will drink about 8-10 glasses of water a day plus I am also having caffeine free drinks during this time. However, my skin is soooooo dry that my hands feel like sandpaper and my lips are so dry that I now have fever blisters on them. I have tried every lotion and chapstick known to man and nothing is working. Before I was lucky to even get one glass of water a day and now that I have increased it, my skin feels so awful. Any ideas?
    Thanks
  • It isn't the water that is causing it that...more than likely it is lack of getting in oils. Are you getting in your 2 tsp of health oils a day?

    Also is the air really dry where you are? (heat drys out the air -- ie., running the furnace)
  • try rubbing coconut oil on your skin
